Night Falls Over Hong Kong

[Brooding Hong Kong tycoon x innocent, alluring beauty] [Age gap / powerful man goes mad for love / mutual salvation / rekindled love] Rumor has it that Liang Xuzhi comes from one of the top families in Hong Kong. As the man pulling the strings behind Wantai Real Estate, he is ruthless and vicious, and keeps a low profile, making him something of a mystery. Only a few people know that Liang Xuzhi has an injured leg that makes walking difficult, so he always uses a wheelchair when he goes out. Of course, no one dares mention this taboo in his presence. - When Zhong Wan first arrived in Hong Kong, she was just an obscure actress. She and Liang Xuzhi were worlds apart, and she had never imagined she would have anything to do with him. Until one damp, rainy night, outside a luxury hotel, a black Bentley pulled up in front of her. The driver slowly lowered the window and handed her a business card. She glanced inside and caught a glimpse of the exceptionally handsome, aloof, and refined man in the back seat. That was the third time Zhong Wan had met Liang Xuzhi. A few nights later, the man looked at her and said in a calm voice, “Miss Zhong, we can begin a relationship in which we each get what we want.” - After that, Zhong Wan followed almost all the rules Mr. Liang set for their relationship. Even when passion got the better of them, she never crossed the line. Two years later, their relationship ended. She had gotten everything she wanted, and returned to Beijing as planned, leaving Liang Xuzhi’s world behind for good. To Zhong Wan, her life in Hong Kong had felt like an illusion, like a dream. But she never expected Liang Xuzhi to show up in her hotel room just a few days later. By the floor-to-ceiling window, the man sat on the sofa, a flame flickering at his fingertips. A faint smile played on his lips, but his gaze was colder than anything she had ever seen. Liang Xuzhi stood and slowly walked over to her, lifting her chin. “Did I say you could leave?” * Zhong Wan had never seen Mr. Liang lose control. Not until that night. Nor had she ever imagined that a man like him would take her empty promise seriously. In the dim light, Liang Xuzhi pinned her against the wall, his cold lips against the nape of her neck. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Wanwan, you promised you wouldn’t leave me.” 1. Seven-year age gap. 2. Both are each other’s one and only; a story of mutual healing. 3. The male lead can walk, though he limps a little. At first, he refuses to walk in front of other people! And most importantly, all his other bodily functions work perfectly! 2023.9.12 Please add my upcoming novel, This Marriage Won’t Be in Vain, to your list: “Gentle gentleman x easily flustered rabbit” “Marriage first, love later / wealthy family alliance” #What do I do when my arranged-marriage wife wants a divorce every day? To escape her family’s control, Jiang Yijia heads to Hong Kong Island to marry the president of Wantai Group. Her fiance is named Liang Jiayi. Jiang Yijia met him just once, ten years ago. He was handsome, refined, and elegant, like a little gentleman. Jiang Yijia doesn’t ask for much from her future husband. She just hopes he won’t control her at every turn like her grandfather does. But after they marry, Jiang Yijia discovers that Liang Jiayi is only three years older than her, yet he keeps a closer eye on her than her grandfather ever did... - Liang Jiayi comes from a prominent family in Hong Kong. Just two years after graduating, he took over the family group, and by the age of twenty-five he was worth over ten billion. He had never approved of the marriage arranged by the elders when they were children, and felt even less favorably about it after they got their marriage certificate. A week after the wedding, he found his new wife Jiang Yijia’s divorce papers left on his desk for the first time. Liang Jiayi called Jiang Yijia over and said sternly, “Even if we both want a divorce, now isn’t the time. We have to live separately for at least a year before the Hong Kong family court will approve the application.” He then spent half an hour explaining the disadvantages and consequences of their divorce. Jiang Yijia reluctantly agreed. “Oh, then let’s wait another year.” Three months into the marriage, Liang Jiayi heard Jiang Yijia ask for a divorce for the second time. He paused the meeting he was in and called her back. “Don’t be so difficult. Whatever it is, we’ll talk when I get home.” Six months after the wedding, Liang Jiayi saw the divorce application sitting on the shoe cabinet by the entrance for the third time, casually crumpled it up, and tossed it in the trash. When he took off his suit jacket and walked inside, Jiang Yijia was sitting on the sofa, looking glum. Liang Jiayi pulled her into his arms and sighed. “What is it this time, little troublemaker?” Jiang Yijia pushed him away, stood up, and stumbled a step. She glared at him and said in a small, aggrieved voice, “Last night... You know perfectly well what happened!” Theme: Believe in love
