    An author born in the 1970s. He started investing in stocks as soon as they existed, losing sleepless nights due to losses, before accurately predicting two major bull markets. From being too shy to hold his crush's hand after three years of dating, to meeting countless women he met online—all true stories from the same person. The author has written five short stories based on his own experiences, showing us how a naive young man gradually transforms into a scumbag, and how a novice stock market investor becomes a stock market guru. The author's five novels encompass both the stock market era and the internet era, creating a strong sense of historical context.
