This time around, I’m writing about my favorite Chinese dramas with female CEOs who juggle work drama and love sparks.

I’m talking about go-getter female leads who are all about sealing deals and stealing hearts, and I just know you’ll love them!

These dramas have everything from heart-fluttering moments to all-around good vibes, and they’re perfect for a night-in.

Here are the 15 best romantic Chinese dramas with powerful and unforgettable female CEOs:

1. Return The World To You

Yi En and Qi Lei start a business after college, but business is tough, and Qi Lei’s rival makes it look like he’s dead, but Yi En keeps going, builds a fashion brand, and keeps looking for Qi Lei.

Meanwhile, he’s alive but had surgery and is now Lu Zhun, a company boss.

They meet again, and fall in love, but Yi En’s friend Qin Ye and her friend Cen Wei also like Lu Zhun.

There’s no way you won’t fall in love with the ethereal Yi En once you watch this drama, and it’s one of the best Chinese dramas with female CEO romance shows you can watch this year.

2. Begin Again

This drama follows a powerful female CEO named Lu Fang Ning and a kind doctor named Ling Rui.

They pretend to be in a fake relationship for practical reasons but end up falling in love for real after getting married.

They start a new life together, but it’s not always easy to make a marriage work, and Lu Fang Ning learns and grows along the way.

3. The Lion’s Secret

Mu Wan Qing is a successful lady CEO and Liu Qing is an unemployed ex-soldier, and they got married before falling in love.

On their wedding day, they didn’t like each other, but over time, they started caring and supporting each other.

Liu Qing helped Mu Wan Qing with her company’s problems and protected her from her ex-boyfriend.

Their love faced tough challenges, and they had to go to Thailand to fulfill their elders’ wishes.

I loved this female CEO romance Chinese drama for many things, but best of all was how the romance between Mu Wan Qing and Liu Qing progressed over time.

4. Fall In Love

In 1926, Mu Wan Qing goes to China to bury her mom’s ashes and find out why her parents separated.

They soon learn it’s important to protect the country during these tough times.

5. Why Women Love

Zhao Jiang Yue is a tough boss at a tech company, and they soon launch a dating app that promises quick matches.

But, she’s not great with love herself, and trouble starts when Gu Jia Xin, heir to the company’s owner, becomes her assistant.

He’d rather race motorcycles than run the business, and they start off badly but work together to win over someone’s heart.

Eventually, they both realize they have feelings for each other, and it was really the sweetest thing watching them come together.

I live for powerful female CEOs in romantic Chinese dramas who are able to navigate the tricky waters of business and heart, so I absolutely adored Jiang Yue.

6. Female CEO Love Me

This Chinese drama follows Xia Meng Wei, a tough female CEO who’s actually kind, and Gu Yan, a smooth-talking salesman.

This is yet another fantastic romantic Chinese drama with a female CEO that I feel everyone should watch at least once to get the swoops and feels.
