   It's not about smuggling; it's a story about Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment. Currently, the female leads include Yang Yuying, Zhou Huimin, Gao Yuanyuan, Yan Danchen, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, and Zhang Tong. The female leads and supporting characters are very well-developed, not two-dimensional. It's a light harem story, a story about directors from both Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment industries. The protagonist releases albums to accumulate initial capital, buys courtyard houses, stocks, starts companies, and wreaks havoc in the Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment industries.
