[📮 @Zhixia's Diary | New novel, Lost Nightingale, is now underway. Synopsis at the bottom]
[Powerful, unhinged Hong Kong tycoon × soft-spoken but strong-willed actress | Possessive pursuit · Stealing her away · Rekindled romance]
The first time Ling Yao met Wen Mo, she was on a date with her boyfriend.
Only later did she learn he was the new head of the Wen family, a ruthless man who had risen to power by stepping over his own uncle, and someone everyone in Hong Kong's business circles avoided.
Her boyfriend warned her again and again to stay away from him.
But she still fell into the trap he had laid for her.
She asked, "What will it take for you to let me go?"
The man watched her with a faintly amused expression and spoke slowly, word by word. "Miss Ling, whatever I want, I always get."
He leaned down, his thin lips nearly touching her ear, and lowered his voice.
"And you're no exception."
.
Ling Yao thought that was as far as he would go. She never expected that before long, the man would openly take her out to dinner alone.
She had barely sat down for a few minutes before she tried to leave.
The man spoke unhurriedly. "Why don't we make a bet? If you win, we'll call it even, and I'll leave you alone from now on."
When she said nothing, he offered an even more tempting stake. "What's more, I'll give you all the opportunities you want. Even the Best Actress award, I'll make sure you get it."
Ling Yao looked up in disbelief.
The man's expression was both righteous and wicked, as if he were watching prey that had already fallen into his net without realizing it.
He curled his lips and laid down his final card:
"I'll bet that you'll break up with your boyfriend very soon."
"What do you say?"

🔖 Reading tips:
📍 The male lead is no gentleman. He'll stop at nothing and has little sense of morality. He's domineering, unhinged, and stacked with every possible red-flag trait. If possessive pursuit isn't your thing, proceed with caution! [One-on-one, both leads' first time] (All my male leads are model boyfriends.)
📍 Slow burn at first, a touch melodramatic, with power struggles among wealthy families. The romance is intense, while the career storyline is relatively minor.
📍 This is a possessive-pursuit story with a power imbalance throughout, the man being stronger than the woman. If you want to read about a strong female lead, look elsewhere.
📍 Please don't tell me how to write. No need to announce that you're dropping the story. Friendly discussion is welcome; malicious comments will be deleted.

★ The possessive-pursuit novel Lost Nightingale is now underway! ★
[Powerful Beijing tycoon × female college student | Fake uncle and niece | Possessive pursuit | Seven-year age gap]
After graduating from high school, Ye Ying went to Paris to visit her long-lost uncle, Xi Jingyuan. But her wallet was stolen, and she mistakenly thought he was secretly getting engaged overseas.
In the end, she discovered it was all a misunderstanding.
But as soon as they cleared things up, Xi Jingyuan said he was sending her back to China.
She refused. "Grandma said I have to stay with you."
Xi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow and drawled, "Are you clinging to me now? Don't tell me you want to sleep with me tonight too."
After a few rounds of arguing, Ye Ying managed to stay in Paris.
She thought the trip would end smoothly, but on the night before they were due to leave, the lights in her room suddenly went out.
In the darkness, the drunk man came up behind her and held her. His breath fell against her neck, his voice low and hoarse. "Why are you hiding? You like playing hard to get with me, don't you?"
As he spoke, he caught 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 completely forgot about him.
But before long, Xi Jingyuan returned to China too.
Later, her boyfriend claimed he had cheated, but Ye Ying refused to believe him.
Xi Jingyuan looked at her, distraught, and scoffed. "He's no good."
Ye Ying snapped 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 fearful step backward.
He caught her chin and gently wiped away her tears. "If you shed one more tear for him, just wait and see how much worse his life can get."
"You should know that I always keep my word."
Core theme: Never settle for less.
It took me three or four days to finish the main story, and I ordered all the extras before I even had time to read them. I was attracted by the subject matter at first, and I wanted to gain weight before reading it, but it turned out that the author's xp completely coincided with mine. It was a stroke of genius.
The ratio of sweet, sour and sour is just right. When I watch it at night, I am completely carried away by my emotions. After calming down during the day, I can dissect the motivations of those actions from the perspective of the author, Ling Yao, and Wen Mo. The more I watch the later stages, the more I can feel the tension between the plot and the characters (I don't know how to describe it). The feeling of being out of control is tension in itself. As the author said, at first he didn't necessarily want Ling Yao to fall in love with Wen Mo, but in the end it can only be said to be fate.
I like Ling Yao very much. She is sober and decisive, and goes for it when she knows what she wants; facing the light-chasing black water and the death of her grandfather, her reaction convinced me that this character has warmth. This warmth is even more reflected in her kindness to marginal characters such as assistants and aunts.
Later, when Fu asked Wen Mo to worship the Bodhisattva, he sneered. Later, when he saw his child, he began to believe in fate. The reason why this transformation is moving is precisely because Wen Mo finally slipped from controlling destiny to praying for destiny. For the first time, he admitted that there were some things that he could not figure out. Just like he thought the way to prevent his children from making the same mistakes was to simply not have children. And what about Ling Yao? She probably finally understood that Wen Mo's insistence on not letting go was not all about control, but also the fear that he never expressed but was real. This paragraph touched me a lot.
And the first meeting scene. Wen Mo, you regret it too, right? If I had taken one more look and hesitated for one second, the process would have been different. But there were not so many what-ifs in the world, and it would be delicious to take something by force.
At that time, I was expecting Wen Mo to confess his illness to Yaoyao personally, but the author made it very clear that based on his character and character background, he would not do this and would only silently pay attention to Yaoyao's will. I analyzed at the time that Wen Mo had grown up in a family and had long been accustomed to dealing with calculations and violence. I originally wanted to cut off the evil consequences with him (I don't know if this is appropriate for my own subjective opinion), so I planned not to have children. However, when this foreshadowing was withdrawn, I suddenly realized it.
Just like the love that Ling Yao longed for in the early stage was equality and stability, which stemmed from her growing environment; Wen Moyin's native family was used to calculating people's hearts, and was used to controlling and possessing. Their love was misplaced at first, but no matter what, they still fell in love. These two little bitter gourds www
The point is, the author writes really well. First, he is very good at burying clues and has meticulous logic. There is no wasted writing in the early plot and characters, and I often suddenly realize when I read later: "Oh, that's it." Secondly, the writing style is excellent. This is very subjective, but I can feel that the author has read a lot and there is a literary temperament in the words. Third, every couple in the article is three-dimensional and full, and they are the protagonists in their own world, rather than being tools that exist to set off the protagonist or hint at the plot.
Did the author study Chinese language? I feel that I have professional writing skills, with clear techniques and appropriate application.
This is where the sense of fate lies. Neither of them is a lover tailor-made for the other, but they have just grown out of their own imperfections into a shape that fits the other.
Let Yao Wenmo always be happy ❤️
If, will there be one or two post-marriage extras after the line?
It looks good, and the if line is also very interesting. Ling Yao has a perfect grasp of Wenmo's user manual, and it's easy to understand hahahaha
Check in! A very delicious book!
