Sleepless Nights on Hong Kong Island

Originally titled Hong Kong Night Newlyweds, and I’ll change it back when I start posting.

[In preparation, launching in October]

Part One: Top-tier star actor X college student (six-year age gap)

Part Two: Heir to Hong Kong’s most powerful family X self-made Best Actress

Six years ago, at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Lu Huaisheng announced his retirement from acting as he accepted the Best Actor trophy, then took over the family business. It turned out he was even more ruthless in business than he had been on screen.

After eight years in the industry, Jiang Wei has gone from a nobody to a three-award-winning Best Actress. With neither connections nor luck, she used her talent to overturn the audience’s preconceived notions and win both box office success and critical acclaim.

Years after their breakup, no one spoke of Jiang Wei and Lu Huaisheng’s old romance anymore.

After all, both parties had long since found someone new.

Until one winter evening, the trending topics system crashed and news reports flooded every media outlet.

Lu Huaisheng had publicly admitted on a talk show, “I have a son. He’s four years old this year.”

His fiancée, Ye Man, the heiress to a real estate empire, promptly unfollowed him and unilaterally announced their breakup.

Netizens began eating up the gossip: Lu Huaisheng’s child wasn’t born to his official girlfriend, Ye Man.

So, who was this mysterious woman whose status had been elevated by her child?

The topic “Jiang Wei, Lu Huaisheng’s ex-girlfriend” quickly shot to the top of the trending list.

Soon, a highly upvoted comment appeared underneath: “First, rule her out. Jiang Wei would love nothing more than for the Lu family line to die out. There’s no way it could be her.”

Amid the public speculation, Jiang Wei arrived in Hong Kong in the middle of the night. The opulent Lu family estate was ablaze with lights, and Lu Huaisheng was building blocks with A-Yan.

Jiang Wei had visited this estate plenty of times over the past four years. She used to wear a mask and keep looking around nervously, afraid someone with ulterior motives would expose the truth.

Now that Lu Huaisheng had revealed it himself, he clearly no longer feared anyone finding out.

Jiang Wei leaned against Lu Huaisheng, raised her head, and kissed his Adam’s apple. “You’re being so high-profile. If the Lu family stock price drops tomorrow morning, you’ll have brought disaster down on your head.”

“If the Lu family’s sky is going to fall, let it. As long as the sky over our home comes back, that’s all that matters.”

“Best Actress Jiang is such a good actress. Five years ago, not only did you fool me, you fooled billions of netizens too.”

“Jiang Wei, you can’t just come here and dote on the kid every time. His dad needs some attention too.”

“I heard your next scene has a five-second intimate moment with a male actor. How about asking the director to let me stand in for Liang Shubai?”

[The Best Actor is making a comeback as a newcomer’s stunt double? The Lu Group must really be on its last legs if he’s taking jobs like that.]

[He just doesn’t want his wife filming an intimate scene with someone else. Director, just indulge him already.]

“When the fog clears, everyone will know I love you.”

Love is most captivating before it is returned. He was most enthralled when he loved Jiang Wei.

#A run-away-with-the-baby story, except after running away with the baby, she sends the baby back.

#The so-called official girlfriend is the male lead’s contract girlfriend, there to appease his family. They’re purely friends.

#The so-called new love interest is the tragic second male lead. The heroine doesn’t love him, so we can all love him instead.

Both are each other’s only love, both are each other’s first love / He’s powerful, but she’s even more so
