Background[]
Wang Cheng is the top talent of the Wang Family and the future patriarch of the Wang Family, and despite knowing of Chen Fan's identity as Chen Beixuan and what it entails, he regards himself as superior in terms of intelligence.
He was the leading figure of the younger generation in Yanjing. He had taken up several big projects of international trade at a very young age, and his character, capability and strength were appreciated by the older generation.[2]
Wang Cheng was an outstanding person among the younger generation. Many young people in Yanjing looked up to him and he was even more excellent compared to Lin Puojun.
History[]
Previous Life[]
In Chen Fan's past life, he always tried to catch up to Wang Cheng in order to make his mother proud, but ultimately never did. After his mother died, the Wang Family only sent Wang Cheng to the funeral, fueling Chen Fan's bitterness towards the Wang Family. Those who came with Wang Cheng were all top dogs in Jinling and Zhonghai, whom Chen Fan could admire from afar.[2]
Current Life[]
The Wang family schemed against Chen Fan, using his pre-birth 'engagement' with Qin Yaner of the Qin family to offend the Xiao family, as Qin Yaner is already engaged with Xiao Xuan. With Chen Fan acting as a buffer because of his high status, the Wang family would take the spot of China's top family from the Xiao family.
Ultimately, the scheme was supposed to work. Chen Fan defeated Ye Qingcang, which would boost the Wang family to China's number one spot, but right after the duel, Chen Fan severs his ties with the Wang family by killing Wang Cheng.
