[College Campus ‖ System ‖ Underdog’s Comeback ‖ Sweet Romance and Making Money ‖ Stoic Senior × Money-Minded Junior ‖ HE]
When Su Qianqian was bound to the “Money-Making King” System, she was lying flat in her dorm, watching shows with a face mask on.
System: Earn 500 yuan within three days, or the ugliest photo in your phone album will automatically be posted to your Moments with the caption, “Actually, I’m a total goofball.”
Su Qianqian looked through her album at the blurry photos she’d secretly taken of Shen Du and the memes of herself choking on spicy food and crying. She sprang out of bed. “I’m in! I’m in, okay?!”

Later, her “Campus Gloom-Recycling Station” became a hit across the whole school. She offered services like snapping lovesick fools out of it, writing love letters for people, holding their place in line, and matchmaking students. The business kept her so busy that Shen Du, the head of the discipline committee, was always “dropping by to check on her.”
Su Qianqian thought he was there to bust her.
But whenever her schemes backfired, Shen Du was always the first to show up. He’d dock her points by the book during dorm inspections, then secretly order her love-letter-writing service. After cleaning up her mess, he’d calmly pull up a payment QR code. “For today’s service, scan to pay or pay cash?”
Su Qianqian: “Is your phone’s location tracker hooked up to me or something?”
Shen Du: “Yeah. I’m worried my debtor will run off.”

At graduation, Su Qianqian gave a speech as an outstanding graduate. “I’d like to thank the school for giving me the chance to run all kinds of side hustles, and the System for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Finally, I plan to spend the rest of my life slowly paying back Shen Du’s consultation fees.”
Below the stage, Shen Du smiled as he sent her a transfer. The note read: “Down payment made. Please confirm receipt.”
[A satisfying, sweet romance. Making money comes first, romance second. The heroine is both timid and clever; the hero seems aloof but secretly dotes on her.]
