Pretty good novel. The plot is pretty interesting, and the MC plans things out pretty deeply. Things usually go well for him due to a combination of his planning and a bit of plot armor. I disagree with people thinking the relationship with Wanxi is unrealistic. Taking into consideration the fact that she was ab*sed her whole life and was barely shown kindness, the fact that she latched onto the MC when he treated her really well makes a lot of sense, although it's unhealthy. As for the MC, he's a self proclaimed scumbag so he's not trying to be a good guy. His actions that readers seem to critique the most make sense when you view it through that lens as he was never a nice guy. Spoiler
Such as framing the original Novel MC.
[collapse]I like how the heroines are all really different personality wise. Still took off one star because I feel bad for Yan Ruyue and Qiao Siying is annoying. The stocks part also felt pretty unneeded but it's whatever. Overall it's a pretty nice novel with good translation as well.
