A hundred years after the spiritual qi revival, powerful families monopolize the martial world, where wealth is power. Murong Yiyu was once an S-rank genius, but after refusing an arranged marriage and exposing a scandal, his closest friend personally shattered his dantian, leaving him a test subject in the underground black market. On the brink of death, a strange “Wealth System” forcibly binds itself to him: earn five million spirit stones in seven days, or be erased. Along with the System comes a forbidden ability: he can hear the most avaricious desires in the hearts of all living things. Mind reading lets him see through lies, but it also uncovers a deeper truth: the System is a fishing trap set by a higher-dimensional civilization, and the brother who betrayed him is now guarding his sister’s memorial tablet, and has been for three years... With wealth turned into a curse and mind reading his only blade, Murong Yiyu must fight his way through this man-eating city, battling time, the great families, and his own past.
