「唯一讓這些紅毛高賽尊重我們的方法,就是把大把的錢砸在他們臉上,直到他們下跪求饒為止。」───查理・胡(新加坡超級暴發戶科技大亨胡浩連的長子,本來有機會舉行亞洲史上最奢華的婚禮,可惜三十九克拉的鑽戒被拒絕了。)
一群荒誕離奇、陰險腹黑的超級富豪,諷刺又寫實地呈現有錢人家的優越感與家庭矛盾,帶人一窺所謂上流社會最不為人知的瘋狂生活。
當瑞秋・朱答應與男友尼克・楊一同前往新加坡參加友人婚禮、拜訪尼克的家人,她想像的是一個小門小戶的家庭,並期待跟這個將來可能步入禮堂的男人共度兩人時光。
沒想到迎接瑞秋的卻是令人瞠目結舌的超級大豪宅,以及一群她所見過最瘋狂古怪的人,更令她意想不到的是,她的男友是亞洲區無人不知、無人不曉的黃金單身漢,有多少女人都盼望著晉升為楊太太,這時的瑞秋理所當然地成為眾矢之的。
在新加坡,尼克帶著瑞秋走遍所有他喜歡的地方,置身於這個富豪圈子之中,比起車子,他們更常搭飛機;比起知名觀光景點,他們更喜歡私人度假村。
看似享盡榮華富貴的瑞秋卻體驗到了此生經歷過最不堪的羞辱,在有錢人家勢利的眼中,她是一個為錢而跟尼克交往的女人;她是奢望麻雀變鳳凰的心機女……
這樣與她格格不入的家庭,瑞秋認真思考與尼克繼續發展下去的可能性,究竟他們能不能打破亞洲傳統「門當戶對」的觀念,攜手走向未來呢?

Crazy Rich Asians is the outrageously funny debut novel about three super-rich, pedigreed Chinese families and the gossip, backbiting, and scheming that occurs when the heir to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings home his ABC (American-born Chinese) girlfriend to the wedding of the season.
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry.
What she doesn’t know is that Nick’s family home happens to look like a palace, that she’ll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia’s most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back.
Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick’s formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should--and should not--marry.
Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider’s look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.
