Translated stories I like enough to recommend. I review them so expect some spoilers (I try not to spoil major events.)
(Please read the novels on the original translator's site which can be found on novelupdates!)
Han Ting said, "For me, love isn't everything. I may not be able to provide self-sacrificing love for you, but the love that accompanies you in ordinary life may be possible."
Ji Xing understands that the love they seek is different, and the outlines of the dreams in their hearts are also different.
But she wanted to climb from the slope to the top of the mountain, stand beside him, face hardships, troubles and pain with him, and witness the beauty of this city with him.
They were dazzling stars who admired each other in their hearts, just like the night view of the capital that he showed her for the first time-
Calm, stunning beauty, so beautiful it is intoxicating.

Tbh, I have read this quite a while ago, but I got busy with school and prelims (+ laziness) so I postponed writing this.
While I don't want to spoil, I have to mention it since this could be a turn off for some readers. The novel started with the leads having different partners for like 30 chapters. I got so emotionally attached to FL's (ex) boyfriend and cried so much when they broke up (no cheating tho dw).
Like, he truly was the one that got away😔
Because of that, I didn't expect to like FL and ML as a couple, but look at me now recommending their story.

Anyways, the leads have really different values since they grew up in different environments. As an average houshold girly, I resonated with FL more. Sorry ML, but I always sided with her, even when I understood your point.
I admit that FL is not perfect as she is a huge hypocrite. There were times I wanted to strangle her and times I was like "???". ML is really more mature than her, yet I can't help but root for her in everything.
My favorite scenes were in chapters 61-66. I won't explain why, just experience it for yourself. I often reread the novel just for those scenes (especially when I feel like crying but don't have anything to cry about.)
Moving on.
This is a business oriented novel, even when I don't know if the business aspect is realistic (it sounds realistic to me). So If you're looking for a sweet, swoon worthy romance, you are looking at the wrong book. They were still good together though don't get me wrong! Just not the giggling like crazy type of cute.
There is a drama adaptation as well! It's called As Beautiful As You.
