The Matriarch of a Wealthy Family

* Cheng Mu’s first encounter with Tao Yao. Under the swirling lights, amid clinking glasses, she was groveling at someone’s feet. Cheng Mu’s next encounter with Tao Yao. In broad daylight, in front of a crowd, someone else was groveling at her high heels. Cheng Mu smiled. “The little brat’s got some talent.” Someone nearby teased him, “Second Master, I hear that girl found herself a sugar daddy in the industry.” Cheng Mu: “Heh.” * Tao Yao said, “Keeping your head held too high won’t do you any good. Better to keep it down and get by. If you live long enough, even a dog might manage to pass for a person.” Who would have thought… She thought of herself as a dog, but one certain gentleman was determined to make her a star. Was becoming a star really so easy? In public, she was a vase, painstakingly polished by Hong Kong’s Second Master Cheng. In private, she was a rag. The Second Master had too many tricks, and was always finding new ways to torment her. She didn’t want to do it anymore, and then she found herself with a little bun in the oven. Well, looks like her place as the madam of a wealthy family is settled. * A shotgun wedding. With her belly just beginning to show, Tao Yao made a grand entrance into a wealthy family. At the wedding, she watched the usually stern and inscrutable man smile. Thinking her eyes must be playing tricks on her, she asked, “What do you even want from me? There are enough women who want to have your children to circle Hong Kong twice holding hands.” Cheng Mu chuckled and leaned down to whisper in her ear, each word deliberate. “When you fall for something like this, you just have to own it.” Tao Yao rolled her eyes. “Shameless.” Cheng Mu looked at her flushed face and smiled without a word. He was lazy. Spending all his energy in this life on training one little wildcat was already more than enough. Why would he have time to go after anyone else? * Everyone knew that Second Master Cheng held Hong Kong in the palm of his hand. But no one knew that the only sky he ever wanted to shield was the one above her head. He was glad he had seen the good in her. * This novel is also known as *The Making of a Movie Queen*, *The Hero’s Overbearing Pursuit*, and *All the Other Suitors Want to Get Ahead*.
