1	A now-complete work by Lee Nicky. Can be read [[http://mangafox.me/manga/youth_gone_wild/ here]].
2
3	[[PluckyGirl Yating's]] an ambitious public relations manager with an ear and a drive for music, who's fired by her company due to upsetting primadonnas one too many times. Now (unofficially) blacklisted from the industry by the last starlet she pissed off and tending bar at a pub, she discovers Gangster, a once up-and-coming band who have lost their passion -- all except for the drummer, [[LongHairedPrettyBoy Luo Kai]]. Then there's [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Wang Xiang]], a theatrical jack-of-all-trades with a golden voice who she gets into trouble every time they meet; prickly rich-boy [[CuteButTroubled Zhigao]]; and self-proclaimed "Guitar God" Shang Guan, who is exactly as egotistical as he sounds.

5	[[ContrivedCoincidence Did I mention Yating's uncle is setting up a new agency?]]

11	!! This Manhua provides examples of:
12
13	* AuthorAppeal: Lee Nicky loves her rock music and pretty boys, and it shows.
14	* ContrivedCoincidence: So, so many. Really -- Yating meets all the band members through different (unlikely) circumstances, they all happen to be brilliant at different instruments, two of them know each other previously (in a way unrelated to how Yating met them), and just when this is all happening she runs into her uncle, who is setting up an agency and trusts her judgment completely.
15	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Yating overhears some... suggestive things between Wang Xiang and Zhigao. (It's just physical therapy.)
16	* DramaQueen: Wang Xiang
17	* GoalInLife: Yating's has always been to manage a legendary rock group
18	* GuyLiner: Luo Kao also sports lipstick
19	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Luo Kai is most notable, but Yating's idol JB definitely counts
20	* RapeAsDrama: Zhigao's backstory.
