[Follow @Zhixia Diary on Weibo. My new novel, The Lost Nightingale, is now underway. Blurb at the end.]
Cen Shu was Hong Kong Island's famously spoiled heiress. She grew up surrounded by jewelry and diamonds, and the number of zeroes in her bank account was impossible to count.
The men pursuing her could form a line from Victoria Peak to Tsim Sha Tsui. Only one man never gave her a second glance:
Liang Huaixuan, the youngest head of the Liang Group. The business prodigy described by Hong Kong media as "a blend of elegance and sharpness." Even the notoriously cutting gossip magazines sang his praises, calling him a gentleman who was warm, gracious, and considerate.
Rumors that the two couldn't stand each other were no secret in their social circle.
Whenever they met, they couldn't even be bothered to exchange greetings. He would look cold, and she would turn and leave.
Then news of their arranged marriage broke, and all of Hong Kong Island was in an uproar.
At their first "blind date," the man said coolly, "Let's give it a year. If it doesn't work out, we can end it at any time."
His attitude made Cen Shu bristle. She had planned to turn him down outright and humiliate him while she was at it, but she changed her mind when she heard his next words.
"Let me make one thing clear first." He glanced at his watch. "I don't like trouble. I hope you don't either."
Cen Shu's interpretation: She was the biggest trouble of all.
Fine.
Wasn't he afraid of trouble?
Then she would be a nuisance he could never shake for the rest of his life. :)
.
Six months later, Liang Huaixuan's mother, Li Qingzi, was fretting over the couple's "trial marriage," which hadn't made any progress. Then one day she stumbled upon a scene that left her dumbfounded:
The two people who usually couldn't be in the same room without clashing emerged one after the other.
One had a rumpled black shirt, while the other's lips were swollen from kissing.
And her normally composed son had a lipstick mark on his lips.
Li Qingzi: ...?
.
A year later, the couple whom Hong Kong media had declared incompatible were accidentally photographed by paparazzi taking a sweet nighttime stroll hand in hand through Causeway Bay! The usually elegant and distinguished heir to the Liang Group was even sharing a ten-dollar-a-stick Richman ice cream with his fiancee, who was eight years younger!
After that, more rumors started coming out:
It was said that on his fiancee's eighteenth birthday, the heir gave her a museum-quality aquamarine diamond tiara.
To please her, he even bid on a rare, vivid pink diamond worth twenty carats, gave her a superyacht named after her, and filled the entire harbor with 10,001 pink lychee roses!
Hong Kong media were collectively dumbfounded: Weren't they supposed to be incompatible?
Their friends were just as stunned. "Didn't you two hate each other on sight?"
Liang Huaixuan said calmly, "Yes. I was the only one who hated her."
"I hated that she didn't marry me on the very first day."
His friend: ...?

[Reader Tips / Content Warnings]
1. Straight romance, one-on-one, happy ending. The male lead has no former crush or secret love, and is completely chaste in both body and heart. A model of male virtue.
2. Everyday life in a wealthy family. Romance is the entire focus, with the relationship as the main storyline and very little career drama. This is not a strong female lead story, so please don't read if that's not your thing.
3. Neither lead is perfect. Please don't send unsolicited writing advice.
4. The original version 1.0 was first published in March under the title Nights on Hong Kong Island. It was later paused and rewritten, and this is now version 2.0. The first twelve chapters have all been rewritten, so if you read version 1.0, please read them again. Thank you for your support!
★ My power-and-wealth romance The Lost Nightingale is now underway! ★
[Powerful Beijing elite x female university student | faux uncle and niece | possessive romance | seven-year age gap]
After graduating high school, Ye Ying went to Paris to stay with her long-unseen uncle, Xi Jingyuan. But her wallet was stolen, and she mistakenly thought he was secretly getting engaged overseas.
In the end, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
But once it was cleared up, Xi Jingyuan immediately said he would send her back to China.
She refused. "Grandma said I have to stay with you."
Xi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow and drawled, "So you're clinging to me? Don't tell me you want to sleep with me tonight, too."
After plenty of back and forth, Ye Ying managed to stay in Paris.
She thought the trip would end smoothly, but the lights suddenly went out in her room the night before she was due to leave.
In the darkness, the drunken man hugged her from behind. His breath brushed her neck as he murmured hoarsely, "What are you hiding for? You like playing hard to get with me, don't you?"
As he spoke, he pinched her chin and leaned in to kiss her.
Ye Ying fled back to China in a panic.
Back home, she fell deeply in love with her boyfriend and pushed Xi Jingyuan completely out of her mind.
But before long, Xi Jingyuan returned to China too.
Later, her boyfriend claimed he had cheated, but Ye Ying refused to believe it.
Looking at her devastated expression, Xi Jingyuan sneered. "He's no good."
Ye Ying argued back. "Don't say bad things about him. He's a good person!"
He narrowed his eyes and slowly stubbed out his cigarette. "You climbed into my bed in the middle of the night for his sake, and now you dare talk back to me."
"Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Ye Ying took a frightened step backward.
He pinched her chin and gently wiped away her tears. "If you shed one more tear for him, just wait and see how much worse things get for him."
"You should know I always keep my word."
Theme: Sincerity in return for sincerity.
The first time I saw Hong Kong Nights for Marriage was in March 2025. At the end of 2024, I accidentally saw the recommendation of Hong Kong Island Rain on a certain news channel. I was bored and clicked on it. After reading it, I really liked it. Then I looked at the author's homepage and went to VB to search for the author Da Da to see if Hong Kong Island Rain has published a book. I read the electronic version of the book and I liked it so much that I wanted to buy a physical book to collect. I was afraid that the electronic version would not be found in the future or that it would be locked. I wanted to leave some mark on my youth. When I look back at it in my later years, I will be reminded of how obsessed and passionate I was in my youth. Therefore, whether the author is writing articles or communicating daily, the author is a relatively delicate person (from my perspective). We met Gang Ye Yiwen after overcoming many difficulties. Readers pointed out the problem when we updated it to chapter 13. I decided to stop writing and revising it. I was also preparing for the exam at the time. What I looked forward to most every day was to see the update in Jinjiang. Finally, we met again in May. After more than a month of preparing for the exam, my brain capacity was not enough. When we met in May, I had almost forgotten the contents of the previous thirteen chapters. After being busy with everything, I finally had time to read these days. The tough-talking Mr. Liang and the little princess Nobao.
After reading the whole article, I really feel that grandpa is very bad. He only cares about the interests of the family and does not consider whether Nobao likes it or not. I really feel sorry for Nobao. After reading the main article before, I felt that it was both sour and sweet. (I kind of forgot about it some time ago. I don't have time to read it again, so I can only write my opinion on the if line.) This if line, it's really sour to me, I feel so sorry for Nobao and Mr. Liang. If I were to live again, I hope that they would be ordinary again and be an ordinary couple, fall in love, get married and have children smoothly in life. I don't want Nobao to be used as an item of exchange for family interests again. Liang Keyue's love is not wrong, but he has no use for each other. Fa, he grew up with pampering, and he didn't understand that his mother bought him a substitute from various stores. Although it was a substitute, it was also her mother's intention. He shouldn't have smashed it to pieces. His love for Nobao has always been that they were childhood sweethearts since childhood. He didn't understand what Nobao wanted, and he shouldn't either. I used this relationship to kidnap Nobao, and I used Nobao's kind heart to pity me again and again, but I feel a little sorry for Liang Qingyue. He has been uncomfortable living in the shadow of his brother since he was a child. When I was a child, my mother often compared the grades of my neighbor's children with me. This really resonated with me. Fortunately, the light finally broke his weaving dream. Mr. Liang and Nobao must be extremely happy! The deputy cp is very good, ah ah ah [pink heart][pink heart][pink heart]
(I'm really busy. During the preparation period, I made myself close all the social novel software to force myself to study. It took me so long to publish this article. I originally thought about how to write a long review, but I found that my brain seemed to automatically delete the memory. After reading the if line tonight, I found that I couldn't write anything I read earlier. I could only write and read if. (I don't know if my opinion is correct or not. If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me). I am just thinking about what I have learned today and what I plan to learn tomorrow. I am numb, but I still want to wish Mr. Liang and Nobao eternal happiness. I am lucky enough to meet Xiaogang Ye this summer. Although I have forgotten some plots, I will continue to read your story when I am busy next summer. I don't want to forget your story.) On the second day of November, I wish the author good luck in writing the new article! Have a great life!
Is it gone? I haven't seen enough. I really like Qingqing and Xuanning. Will there be another story about them?
