[Modern-Day Fictional Twist + Hilarious Subversion of the Usual Tropes + Thrifty Blogger’s Comeback + Wealthy Heir Pursues Her + Ultimate Face-Slapping and Sweet Romance]
I’m Zhou Xiaokou, a frugal-living blogger.
The whole internet is reposting koi-fish charms and praying to get rich, while I’m fighting with aunties over eggs in the supermarket discount aisle.
Netizens call me small-minded and say I’ll be poor all my life.
I don’t care.
The father and son sharing a place next door in the urban village are even poorer. I keep the watch-repairing uncle and his son, Lu Cheng, supplied with instant noodles and food close to its expiration date at every meal. I practically treat myself like the head of a poverty relief office.
That is, until Lu Cheng comes clean: “My dad repairs watches as a hobby. My family has assets worth tens of billions.”
“...Say that again?”
My hands tremble as I hold the instant noodles.
It’s not because I’m touched. It’s because I’m in pain over the waste of money...
I made it by being frugal. It wasn’t luck, it was skill.
And, as a bonus, I also snagged a boyfriend worth billions.
That’s not such a bad deal either.
