Not rating yet because maybe I'm just impulsive and this book is actually really good.Everything was fine until he entered Shen city. I believe the author forgot the temperaments of their characters for a second. Lin Jingzhe runs around scamming people, his friends are reduced to lackeys who don't question anything he is doing, following along like a hive mind, and all adults are s*upid and trying to impress this high schooler who is still wet behind the ears.And, speaking of, they better tell us the age of Xiao Chi because last I checked, Zhou is older than Lin, but not yet twenty, so Lin is barely legal, but it's all 'fine' because this was back in the day and Lin is mentally 43! Haha... wait, that just makes it worse! He's an old man!Anyways, who takes a client clubbing? Especially one who is considered elegant and subliminal? Tian Dahua treated him like a Lord before so why is he suddenly so comfortable around him, enough to get drunk enough to start touching up the hostess'? Are we really going to believe that a broker is that confident in not losing all client trust, just because he threw away 200, 000 yuan? Especially with a supposed Young Master that treats money like dirt beneath his feet? Come on, what?And again about forgetting temperament, what's up with Lin Yingzhe getting into a fight with Xiao Chi?! Chalk it up to drunkenness, Lin Yingzhe is a barely legal high-schooler pretending to be a rich Young Master, what's he doing inciting the ill will of an actual rich Young Master? It was stated before that every step he makes has to be calculated, so his plans don't fall through! He literally hides his emotions in front of 500, 000 yuan specifically for this purpose! In that sense, (I can't believe I'm saying this) he's lucky he was just sexually assaulted! Imagine if Xiao Chi decided to pursue him passed this incident? He'd be outed, with 700, 000 dollars in debt! Or is his golden finger inhibiting the IQ of the pretty side characters, so he's confident?Is he so confident in his golden finger that he changes his character sheet and starts a fight in the bathroom?! "He never backed away from a fight, let alone one he picked himself." Your mother!!! You only got into one fist fight so far and the only reason you won was because you smashed a beer bottle over his head %$#!&And then after he just... submits?! He kisses back!!?? As soon as Xiao Chi was introduced I was certain he was the male lead, and with their initial interaction with each other, I figured the author would apply more tact with their relationship development. But within the same chapter they meet, they... make... out?!?!?!? You can't start a book that develops a reputation of dragging out chapters and arcs and jump the gun like that!!!I really want to see Lin Jingzhe get rich and successful! But this progression has suddenly hit the fan!!! I'm so frustrated I'm writing this instead of sleeping because I am baffled!!!!!!!!!!Dropping for now....
