Synopsis

(One Female Lead + System + Tycoon + Sweet Romance + Extra Sweet)

[Before the market closes on July 16, Ke Xin Innovation stock, ticker 9266, will fall to 0.55 per share… On August 1, it will rise to 121 yuan per share.]

Chen Yi stares in bewilderment at the virtual screen before him. It actually shows news from the future!

As he hesitates over whether to invest, he suddenly thinks of his gravely ill father, his hardworking mother, and his beloved girlfriend.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi bets everything he has. His decision draws ridicule from everyone.

Boss: “I knew it. Chen Yi is just some small-town exam nerd who's never seen the world. He actually invested every last cent he had in stocks!”

Yes-Man: “Exactly. The guy can't even afford a house, yet he thinks he can marry into the wealthy Su family and wed their eldest daughter.”

The Company Heir: “Su Mengyao is my goddess. A poor guy thinking he can marry her is pure delusion.”

The Su Family: “Unless you have a five-million-yuan marital home and a five-hundred-thousand-yuan bride price, don't even dream of marrying Su Mengyao!”

Just as everyone is mocking Chen Yi, a petite figure appears at his doorstep.

Soaked from head to toe, she smiles and says:

“I left the Su family. I'm not Miss Su anymore. Can I stay by your side from now on?”

Looking for Rich-Protagonist Stories: No Dumbed-Down Characters, Lavish Spending, No Keeping a Low Profile, and Ideally Real-Life Figures

I want a story where the protagonist gets rich from the start, with little showing off or face-slapping. Keep it somewhat realistic, with all kinds of extravagant spending, and have them gradually enter elite circles. It’d be great if real people appeared in the story, too, to make it easier to immerse myself.

Don't give me amateurish novels. I'm picky. I want stories about pursuing the heroine, or the heroine pursuing the hero. They shouldn't be too short, preferably over a million words. The main focus should be pursuing the heroine, with making money as a side plot.
