The Rise of Hong Kong's Top Tycoon [1950s]

The Day the First Tycoon of Hong Kong Made His Fortune [1950s]

Blurb: He Haohao and her parents and older brother are visiting Hong Kong when they transmigrate into the 1950s.

The He family has fallen on hard times, and their reputation as slippery schemers precedes them. Wherever they go, people laugh at them.

Most troublesome of all, He Haohao is engaged to Lu Zhan, the eldest son of Hong Kong's wealthiest family.

This engagement is an obvious mismatch and was arranged through shady means. The second branch of the Lu family conspired with the Hes to manipulate Lu Zhan.

The eldest young master has never given the original He Haohao a second glance. He despises her to the core.

The family of four quickly gets their priorities straight. First, He Haohao needs to break off the engagement. Next, they need to make money as fast as possible. Life in Hong Kong is tough, and money is essential.

As for the He family's terrible reputation, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

So the four of them each take on a task and set off in different directions.

Lu Zhan is sinister, vengeful, and ruthless. Hong Kong's upper-class families all avoid him.

So when he fights the second branch of the Lu family, most people side with them.

Lu Zhan scoffs. There's no better feeling than being a lone wolf. He doesn't need anyone!

But his shallow, foolish, pretty fiancée has actually come to break off their engagement? Seeing how hard she tries to convince him, Lu Zhan suddenly decides he doesn't want to make it easy for her.

Then the He family stops scheming at every turn and starts acting with integrity and good sense. They also prove to be remarkably capable in business, giving everyone a fresh impression of them.

Their unapologetic habit of doing things their own way and minding their own business somehow suits Lu Zhan perfectly. And He Haohao, with her silver tongue and habit of rolling her eyes at him behind his back, is particularly interesting...

Even Hong Kong's most gossipy tabloids couldn't make up what happens next.

The eldest Lu son goes to extraordinary lengths to marry He Haohao...

Lu Zhan and He Haohao are united as a couple, and the second branch of the Lu family can only suffer defeat at their hands...

Young Master Lu follows He Haohao back to her parents' home every day, and the eldest Lu son claims to be part of the He family wherever he goes...

Lu Zhan and the Hes build their business into Hong Kong's number one, leaving the head of the Lu family with a bitter taste in his mouth...

[I'm terrible at blurbs. This is a story about He Haohao coaxing the eldest Lu son into joining the He family, as all five of them work together to become Hong Kong's wealthiest family. There's romance, business, and a bit of a wealthy-family inheritance battle for variety, all wrapped up in a somewhat unusual, sweet and satisfying daily life! Revised 2024.5.9]
