[Down-and-Out Heiress vs. Hidden Capitalist Tycoon | Pretending to Be Poor, Turning the Tables | Layers of Secret Identities]
Li Xiuke, an investment-world legend who worked himself to death in his previous life, returns to an era ripe with opportunity. After quietly laying out a trillion-yuan trump card, all he wants is to keep a low profile, retire, and take it easy. Then he runs into Kuang Lingshu, a money-minded girl who works herself to the bone to make a buck.
By day, she works as a coach and sells products; by night, she translates and draws blueprints. With only two thousand yuan left in her pocket, she boldly offers to keep him:
"Li Xiuke, date me! If you don't have any money, I'll support you!"
Li Xiuke looks at the eleven-digit sum in his Swiss bank account and falls silent. "...Okay."
And so the strangest romance on the internet begins:
To save three hundred yuan on airfare, the penny-pinching girl takes a red-eye flight. He quietly makes the airline's first-class seats complimentary.
She takes him to a twenty-yuan street-food stall, and a senior official inspecting flood defenses nearby even comes over to pat him on the shoulder and call him "Little Li."
Kuang Lingshu thinks he's just "a handsome wage earner with a few connections."
Until her best friend's disastrous product promotion drags her into a massive copyright infringement lawsuit.
When the capitalists arrogantly demand an exorbitant settlement, Li Xiuke finally takes off his sunglasses and reveals his first secret identity:
"You want to mess with my girlfriend? Did you ask me, the controlling shareholder, first?"
Watching the world's top financial conglomerates bow and call him "Chairman Li," Kuang Lingshu is dumbfounded.
Well, would you look at that: the poor boyfriend who always helps me save every last cent is actually the mastermind behind global capital?!
