The Sugar Babies of the Sugar Daddies

Jian Yihuai grew up in a dilapidated little town. Its harsh conditions, backward attitudes, and rigid way of life shaped his obsessive personality.

The townspeople summed him up in a few words: materialistic, short-sighted, and low-born.

Yet this materialistic, short-sighted man was the only person from the town to make his way out and enter high society, becoming one of the so-called powerful elite himself.

*

When Jian Yihuai left the backward town where he had spent more than a decade of his life to attend university in the big city, he saw the outside world's splendor and cruelty. Scheming was already written all over his beautiful face.

What good was pride? Fame and fortune were worth more!

There were luxury cars all over the streets. Why shouldn't one of them belong to him?

He kept those self-important men wrapped around his little finger. Scheming as he went, he entered the game himself, pretending to be a helpless prey while steadily achieving his aims...

*

Those proud, untouchable men were absolutely convinced Jian Yihuai couldn't live without them.

By the time they realized that the obedient, beautiful canary they kept at their side was surrounded by countless outstanding men, and was using their power to climb higher, it was too late.

By then, Jian Yihuai no longer needed to rely on anyone.

The young man had no love to give, while they had long since lost themselves in the false sweetness he had created.

They weren't angry. Instead, they felt fortunate.

Thank goodness.

There was still something about them he could use.

Thank goodness.

They were the ones he had chosen, not someone else...
