In real life, there might not be an overbearing CEO who completely matched the image in the novel, but I can recommend some novels to you. Among them, there are characters that meet your needs. The male lead in "The Songs of the Rich and Powerful" was handsome and rich. The male lead in "The Reborn Spicy Wife: The Tsundere CEO, Can't afford to offend" was cold and arrogant, and he was also very rich. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~π
Yes, I recommend "My President Is Extremely Fierce" and "Wishing for One's Heart: The Highest Grade Cold Concubine". These two novels have the characteristics of the female lead being arrogant and handsome. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
Domineering underworld novels, the kind where the male lead was super handsome and arrogant, could be referred to in the following classic novels:
1 "Fight Through the Heavens": The male lead, Xiao Yan, was a genius pharmacist who accidentally transmigrated to another world and became the boss of the underworld. He had great strength, a calm and wise personality, and a strong charisma.
2.<< The Peak of Martial Arts >>: The male protagonist, Mo Fan, was a natural-born martial artist, but his family background was very prominent, causing him to embark on the path of the underworld as he grew up. He had unparalleled strength and willpower.
3 "Douluo Continent": The male protagonist Tang San was a Spirit Master, but his family background was also very powerful, which made him walk the underworld path as he grew up. He possessed outstanding spirit power and astonishing speed, making him extremely handsome and cool.
The above novels were all very classic. The male lead's personality was very prominent, powerful, and very attractive. You can choose to read it according to your personal taste.
Another trope is the 'ice - cold exterior, warm heart' aspect. The arrogant CEO often appears cold and distant at first, but as the story progresses, the female lead discovers his softer side. In many novels, there's also the trope of the 'forced proximity'. Maybe they have to work together on a project, and that's how their relationship starts to develop. It can be something like sharing an office or having to travel together for business.
A great example is 'Twisted Love'. The male protagonist, Alex Volkov, is a powerful and arrogant CEO. His relationship with Ava Chen starts off rocky but develops into a passionate romance. There are also series like 'The Billionaire's Obsession' which features arrogant billionaire CEOs and their romantic pursuits.
Yes, there are likely many novels with such a plot. Novels often explore complex relationships, and the dynamic between a seemingly arrogant CEO and a love interest can be a popular trope. This type of story can involve the character growth of the CEO as they learn to open up and show their softer side in the process of falling in love.
For a novel to be a perfect match, it should have well-developed characters. The CEO's arrogance should have depth and reasons behind it. The story should have interesting subplots and maybe a touch of romance to balance the business aspect.
In real life, a CEO usually referred to a senior leader in a company or organization with great power and influence. The position of CEO was usually appointed by the board of directors and required a certain amount of business knowledge and leadership skills.
Although novels often depicted handsome young CEOs, this was only a fictional plot and could not be found in reality. The position of president usually required long working experience and deep professional knowledge, not just because of his handsome appearance.
Of course, the specific responsibilities and scope of power of the CEO position in different companies and organizations would vary, but this did not mean that the description in the novel was accurate.
In "Cool CEO Next Door","Rich Men's Favorite Marriage: Young Master Gu's 100 Billion Beautiful Wife","Billion Brides: CEO, Sorry to Wait","Ruthless Game","Misled Young Master Quan: Adorable Wife Addicted to Escape","Mr. CEO, See you in the future!" "A Beautiful Wife Is Hard to Deal With, CEO, Please Sign For It","The Richest Man's Fierce Wife Has Space", and other novels have handsome CEOs. Moreover, these CEOs have their own characteristics and charm. I believe they can satisfy your reading needs. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
