Jiang Jin, the undisputed young master of City A.
Born into a top-tier family, exceptionally capable, and blessed with an excellent physique,
thanks to generations of accumulated wealth and influence, he was born at a height most people couldn't reach even after climbing for several lifetimes.
Yet this man, who seemed to be number one in every way and nearly perfect, had one glaring flaw.
He had an "ordinary-looking" face.

What was Jiang Jin like in the eyes of outsiders?
Lucky to be born into a good family, capable, and hard to get along with. A major player.
They couldn't afford to offend him, and wouldn't dare try. They had to treat him with the utmost deference.

After losing to Jiang Jin for the Nth time in the business world, his competitors came up with yet another terrible idea.
This time, they decided to use a beauty trap to corrupt him, make him indulge in pleasure, and distract him from business.
It was a "brilliant" plan,
and they certainly put it into action.
They made their careful selections and sent in Candidate No. 1...
Candidate No. 2...
Candidate No. 3...
Even the coldest beauty is a sorry sight when cast aside, and even the sunniest puppy will cry when abandoned...
Of all the people they could have run into, why did it have to be Jiang Jin?
Since they approached him with an ulterior motive from the start, perhaps getting their hearts broken was only fair.
After all, people shouldn't be so greedy!

Jiang Jin was a playboy.
The less a person has of something, the more they crave it.
He had a particular fondness for stunningly beautiful people, and was happy to placate them with things that meant little to him.
After all, he had no shortage of money or power.
He loved watching beautiful people who clearly hated it,
force a smile as they bent over backward to please him and showered him with sweet words,
even throwing away their dignity and using the only thing they had, their beauty, to beg for a few grains of gold from between his fingers.
As Jiang Jin saw it,
beauty and youth gave someone the right to be spoiled,
but when someone more beautiful, more obedient, and more thoughtful came along,
even the deepest affection had to say goodbye.
Of course, Jiang Jin thought that he gave them money and resources, while they offered their beauty. It was a perfectly fair deal, and there was no such thing as betraying each other.
But if you insisted on demanding an explanation from him, then you could only blame yourself for not being young and beautiful enough, or for failing to know your place and hold his interest.
Reader's guide:
1. Jiang Jin comes from a top-tier family. He's an entitled scion, and he will stay that way.
2. One-on-one ending. The bottom has a sexual history, while the top is inexperienced. Please don't read if that bothers you.
