The Profligate Heir

The Profligate Heir is an urban fantasy novel by the web author Queen's Bootlicker, roughly 1.18 million characters and over five hundred chapters long, and it is complete. The protagonist, Kong Qiong, is born into the ancient Eredar clan, which has passed down magic for a thousand generations, and is a scion of a world-class wealthy family who has grown up admired by all. He is arrogant and flamboyant by nature, yet he happens to be the family's "dead weight" who cannot advance to mage, mocked by classmates in the lecture halls of the Edinburgh Magic Academy in Britain and disowned even by Bai Lingling, his nominal fiancée. To temper his character, the family elders send Kong Qiong to Huaxia for training: he transfers into No. 3 Middle School, meets a beautiful deskmate, gets caught up in the covert struggles of urban factions such as the Bamboo Grove Society and the Bounty Guild, and makes enemies on all sides over a "stolen wife." Along the way he encounters void magic, the tier system of warriors and mages, and the conflict between Hongxing and 14K, rising from the lowest "dead-weight young master" toward the realm of "Demon Saint" and clashing with forces and creatures from other worlds. The work blends magic academy, urban campus, and factional strife, with a brisk pace and frequent satisfying payoffs, built around the main thread of a profligate young master growing through adversity; it is one of Queen's Bootlicker's "Demon Heir" series.
