To be honest, the opening plot about the first love being kept by a sugar daddy was too off-putting. By starting the book like that, I'm sure the author was prepared for it not to be popular. It's a pity, because the absence of this plot wouldn't have affected the flow of the rest of the book at all. However, the author brought this upon himself and cannot blame the readers.

I read 256 chapters in one go, and I'd like to share my thoughts. This is just my personal opinion 😜. Please be gentle 🙏. Thank you. I stumbled upon this book by chance and spent my vacation reading it from morning till night, reaching chapter 256. I feel that the author definitely put a lot of effort into this book.

Let's not write about the Young and Dangerous series anymore. Ekin Cheng himself admitted he regretted making the movie. This kind of inherently politically incorrect film really damages the image of the main characters. If you're a celebrity who started out in the underworld or has ties to organized crime, then it's understandable.

Well, it just doesn't feel the same as before. Especially seeing him get drunk and sleep with a female fan (though they didn't actually sleep together) was a bit disgusting. The male lead didn't seem to have any objections, and the female fan even said she wanted to be very good friends with him, which he agreed to. They're about to get married, and he's still doing this. It's really disgusting.

This is truly a breath of fresh air in Hong Kong entertainment novels, and it's the most plausible, without too many flaws! Actually, these kinds of simple, understated entertainment novels are the most enjoyable. Those characters who can't control themselves once they arrive in Hong Kong—are they time travelers or consummate women? In such a small place, they manage to have dozens of women and all get along harmoniously? Is that even possible?

Honestly, I've read countless Chinese entertainment novels over the past seven years. The protagonists are always invincible, and the women are all brainless, just wanting to sleep with you and unconditionally condoning your womanizing ways. They exaggerate the impact of a single song or movie release and artificially downplay the intelligence of supporting characters.
