Dreaming of Hong Kong, 1982

There's absolutely no problem with Zhao Yazhi being the female lead. Why is she in so many novels? Because she's very famous, and she has a huge fan base. Just look at how popular she is now, don't you understand? As for actresses like Rosamund Kwan, Li Jiaxin, and Cherie Chung, are they really that famous? Not even close! Go ask around on the street and see how many people recognize them.

To be honest, putting aside Zhao Yazhi's reputation, her looks wouldn't rank in the top fifteen among Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses in the 80s and 90s. Not to mention the four top beauties from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Li, Guan, Lin, and Wang, who isn't more beautiful than her?

It's alright, but this is the first time I've seen a story with Huang Hanwei as the main character.

The protagonist's IQ has plummeted to rock bottom. Author, what's your educational background? You could at least have done some research online while writing!

The protagonist was written like a sycophant, fawning over everyone. His intelligence was also portrayed as utterly incompetent. A simple matter would suddenly become absurd for him. The early parts were decent, but the later parts became unbearable.

The first three chapters were truly awful... The protagonist acted like a simp and a mad dog, it was infuriating... Inheriting someone else's wife was so satisfying, but inheriting someone else's mother was a nightmare, it was absolutely disgusting.

Let me tell you about Zhao Yazhi's two husbands! The first one, the one I'm focusing on, I can't remember his name, was a doctor. At the time, Zhao Yazhi marrying him was definitely a step up for her, no joke. He was a successful doctor, while Zhao Yazhi was just starting out as an actress. She got married at 19. And, to be fair, Dr. Huang wasn't bad.

The main problem is that you portrayed a billionaire as a fool, lacking respect for money, while you depicted the officials as overly cunning and lacking the subtle and skillful handling of situations and events typical of officials. It's too rough and feels like a makeshift operation.

Since you're dressed as Huang Hanwei, you should be writing about Huang Hanwei and Zhao Yazhi. Why bother dressing up in Hong Kong when you're always writing about the mainland? Those of you writing about the 80s are just dressing up as mainlanders trying to escape to Hong Kong. Even you, who's dressed up in Hong Kong, know that Hong Kong had good policies in the 80s. You're practically courting death by going directly to the mainland—that's really something!

Zhao: Although I had extramarital affairs, cheated on my husband, had a third party, and been married several times, I am still a virtuous wife and loving mother.
