[Seeking readers for my upcoming novel, They Were in Hong Kong in 1996. I want to write a story with a Hong Kong flavor. It follows a mainland college student who goes to the University of Hong Kong as an exchange student and a wealthy heir who returned from overseas, as their story unfolds in Hong Kong on the eve of its handover.]
[Progress: Nearing the end, with plenty of chapters ready to read. I currently plan to mark the main story complete before National Day.]

[Cold, tough top x pure-hearted, beautiful rich second-generation bottom]
As a handsome, wealthy student at a prestigious university, Bai Manchuan had enjoyed an easy first twenty years of life, like a little white flower floating on calm waters.
On the day he reported for his freshman year, he grandly donated all his tuition and living expenses for the semester to someone else, thinking of it as a good deed.
An accident brought Bai Manchuan together with Jiang Shuidong, a senior one year ahead of him. That's when he learned that he had helped Jiang years ago,
but it had also made him one of the leading figures among those who had "suffered for love."
The bad news:
He played the innocent little green tea, but couldn't win him over;
He became the clingy roommate, but still couldn't win him over;
He traveled a thousand miles to offer a comforting hug as his confidant, but still couldn't win him over.
The good news:
Bai Manchuan was openly in love, while Jiang Shuidong loved him in secret, because there was a huge gap between their family backgrounds.
So, faced with Bai Manchuan's fearless pursuit, Jiang Shuidong couldn't bring himself to accept his confession.
Fortunately, the two finally got together. But then they broke up. Their roller-coaster romance
let Bai Manchuan experience what it meant to be dumped without warning.
He was so furious!!!
Seven years later,
they met again. Jiang Shuidong saw the ring on the ring finger of Bai Manchuan's right hand. "You're married?"
"Yeah, I have someone I love."
A few days later, Jiang Shuidong saw the matching ring hanging from a red cord around Bai Manchuan's neck.
When Jiang Shuidong gave him a questioning look, Bai Manchuan replied without batting an eye, "Oh, he's dead."
#My love won't be defeated by distance or disparity#
#I kept moving forward bravely, just to earn one look from him#
#He is the love of my life#
*Some locations in the story are based on real places, but the characters are not based on real people.
*Please be kind, this is the author's first story.
*I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so that'll have to do.
Quietly rolling around and acting cute, hoping for your collection~~

Upcoming novel blurb divider: They Were in Hong Kong in 1996
[Unofficial blurb for now. It'll do.]
Lu Zhuoyu excelled academically and was chosen by his school to participate in a talent development program with Longfeng Group.
Later, three of the four participants were assigned positions. He was the only one who wasn't.
One day, a secretary came out of the office and asked, "Who can proofread a speech?" He had a cigarette in his hand, almost down to the butt.
Lu Zhuoyu stood up. "I can."
After the meeting, everyone left the office. He Zhaoshen asked the secretary, "Who edited it?"
The secretary pointed to Lu Zhuoyu, who was sitting at the desk. "He's a student recommended by the University of Hong Kong. He hasn't been assigned a position yet."
He Zhaoshen told the secretary, "Ada's taking maternity leave. Have him fill in."
And just like that,
Lu Zhuoyu became He Zhaoshen's receptionist.
"Wealthy heir meets female celebrity at night" became the front-page headline again that day.
Lu Zhuoyu noticed that this was He Zhaoshen's fifth time making the front page that month.
He glanced at it and thought nothing of it.
A few days later, Lu Zhuoyu discovered that the female celebrity who had met He Zhaoshen at night had been exposed as having a certain illness.
At that very moment, He Zhaoshen was chatting and dining with another female celebrity, and seemed likely to take her home for the night.
Before leaving, Lu Zhuoyu tactfully tucked a condom into his notebook, along with a note, and had the waiter deliver it.
The three-month talent development program was about to end.
He Zhaoshen handed Lu Zhuoyu a permanent employment contract and said, "The condom you gave me last time was too small."
Lu Zhuoyu lowered his eyes.
As a secretary, he didn't need to know that his boss was larger than average.
That wasn't part of his job.
Then,
He Zhaoshen said to Lu Zhuoyu, "I like men."
Lu Zhuoyu stared in shock.
What did it matter to him whether He Zhaoshen liked men or women????
Why was he telling him all this??
