Synopsis
At his poorest, Zhou Li had just 2.7 yuan in his bank account.
He was three months behind on rent, and the landlord blocked his door every day. He split instant noodles into two meals and saved the seasoning packet to make soup the next day. His phone screen had been cracked for six months. When his mother called to ask how he was doing, he squatted in the stairwell and told her he was fine. Only after hanging up did he realize he couldn't even afford a train ticket home.
He delivered takeout, worked construction, and tried sales. He'd been cheated, conned, and looked down on, yet the harder he worked, the poorer he got. The people who used to copy his homework posted pictures of their cars, homes, and vacations, while he couldn't even summon the energy to like their posts.
Until one early morning.
He came across a flashy post on his social feed. Some socialite was showing off a Rolex with the caption, "A woman should treat herself well." He scoffed, and his phone suddenly vibrated.
[Social Feed Bragging Lottery System activated.]
[Bragging post detected: 1 Rolex. Would you like to enter the lottery?]
Almost without thinking, he tapped the button.
[Congratulations, Host. You won 88,888 yuan in cash.]
The money arrived. It really arrived.
Zhou Li stared at the screen, his hands trembling.
Whether it was real wealth or a false show of prosperity, it all became a stepping-stone to his fortune.
The people who once looked down on him were still posting pictures of the fancy places they rented, while Zhou Li had already moved into homes they couldn't afford even by pooling their money.
They didn't know that their audience had become the richest man in the world.
Meanwhile, the male lead was swept along by the vortex of fate and soon drawn into the cutthroat world of business warfare.
