The Ultimate Rich Second Generation

"The Ultimate Rich Second Generation" is an urban-life serialized web novel by Lao Shi, published on 17K.com from 2015 and completed in September 2022. The protagonist, Zhao Chunliang, is the only son of the Zhao family of the capital. After narrowly escaping death and returning to the city, before he can enjoy life he is forced by his father—who reports his bank cards lost and cuts off his funds—to fulfill an agreement made with an elder of the family. He is made to move into a shared apartment in the city center whose landlady is Lin Xiaoxi of a cosmetics company, and is then hired as that company's security chief. What he expects to be an easy job turns out otherwise as a conspiracy against the company gradually surfaces: open and covert business rivalries, old grudges coming due, and forces of unknown origin appearing one after another. With his extraordinary martial skills and his roguish yet loyal nature, Zhao Chunliang shields those around him from trouble while maneuvering among all manner of adversaries, rising from a lowly security chief into the business world and gradually drawing out his own complicated past abroad. The work follows Lao Shi's familiar urban power-fantasy formula: bantering language, brisk pacing, dense face-slapping reversals, a protagonist surrounded by many female characters, and romance and underworld threads advancing together. In the middle and later sections the scale keeps expanding, from urban workplace drama to transnational forces and power struggles. This is a completed full text, suited to readers seeking a light, stress-relieving urban epic they can binge.
