The Charming PR Specialist

Please add my new novel, "Love Among the Rich," to your reading list!

[Synopsis in first person, main story in third person]

There are all kinds of strange characters in this circle. The rich and influential can ask for anything, and there's no shortage of it.

I've been around for a long time. One day I'm looking after Madam Li, the next I'm off to placate Mr. Zhang.

Before long, everyone was calling me the "social butterfly."

But I'm not heartless. I'm deeply grateful to anyone who's kind to me and my family.

Lin Chengfu is one of them.

But he's far too arrogant. The first time we met, he made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that he thought I was filthy.

What a joke!

Fury got the better of me, and I decided Lin Chengfu was the most hateful, sharp-tongued person in the world.

Meanwhile, his friend Shen Sinian kept approaching me, saying I was his muse and that he wanted to capture my likeness with his brush.

Lin Chengfu naturally wouldn't allow it. He warned me and tried to talk Shen Sinian out of it.

But what good did that do? Shen Sinian had made up his mind, and I agreed just to spite Lin Chengfu.

Shen Sinian was a good man. It was no exaggeration when people called him the sun.

But he was so good that I let myself imagine he had fallen in love with me.

A wealthy young master rescuing an actor who'd fallen into the pleasure quarters is a tale that's been told for a thousand years. When it happened to me, I was confident it was nothing out of the ordinary.

But things didn't go as I hoped. The little quail following me around was a real actor, and he was even better than me at playing cute and pitiful.

Shen Sinian became his hero, leaving me with a heart full of love given to the wrong person.

Then Lin Chengfu appeared again.

It's laughable. Before, he mocked me as a "toad wishing to eat swan's flesh" to drive me away from Shen Sinian. Now he clings to me with red-rimmed eyes and won't let go, wanting only one answer: "Liang Heyu, who do you love?"

[Reader's guide]

1. Happy ending, one-on-one pairing.

2. Given Heyu's line of work, I personally consider him sexually inexperienced. His previous benefactors mostly kept him around for company and to lift their spirits, and nothing physical happened. But everyone sees things differently, and some readers may feel Heyu must have slept with them, so I won't definitively label this as a mutually chaste pairing.

3. I'll add anything else if I think of it.
