The Stingy Guy Finally Spent Some Money

Qin Zhuo grew up frugal and fiercely self-reliant, with stinginess and a desire to make money carved into his bones. He was an average student, and after graduating from high school, he simply went out to make his way in the world.

Making it in a big city was hard. He hauled bricks, worked in factories, operated excavators, resold secondhand goods, and failed at starting businesses three times. Then Qin Zhuo fell ill.

He did the math and realized that after all those years of struggling, he was only twenty-three. Then he did the math again. Great, he owed the bank 200,000 yuan.

After leaving the hospital, Qin Zhuo rented a secondhand car, driving it by day and sleeping in it at night. This numb, repetitive life came to an end on a stormy night.

The bad news: his car was wrecked.

The good news: the driver who hit him was behind the wheel of a luxury car worth tens of millions, so getting compensation went smoothly.

The neither-good-nor-bad news: the car's owner was Shen Shizhou, the brilliant student from his high school class. They barely knew each other.

Qin Zhuo recognized him for two reasons:

First, Shen Shizhou was exceptionally handsome.

Second, he was the long-lost son of a wealthy businessman.

After that day, Qin Zhuo became Shen Shizhou's personal driver.

Later, somehow, the two of them ended up in bed together, and Qin Zhuo became Shen Shizhou's driver, assistant, and lover.

Shen Shizhou gave him money, lots of money!

Through countless nights when neither of them could bear to part, Qin Zhuo didn't know whether he loved Shen Shizhou, but he really loved Shen Shizhou's money.

Later, Shen Shizhou was in an accident. As he lay dying, he held tightly onto Qin Zhuo and asked, "Besides money, what else do you lack?"

Qin Zhuo was stumped. Shen Shizhou said, "From now on, be kinder to yourself."

Later still, Qin Zhuo was unexpectedly reborn in his senior year of high school.

Looking at himself, thin and sallow, in a home with barely anything in it,

Qin Zhuo let out a long sigh. "Damn! My house, my car, my investments... They're all gone!"

His gaze turned to the window, and his heart suddenly raced. Whoa! My sugar daddy, Shen Shizhou!

Qin Zhuo didn't consider himself a good person. He'd originally planned to latch onto this powerful benefactor again before Shen Shizhou returned to his wealthy family, but as he kept protecting him, he realized something was wrong.

When Shen Shizhou got hurt, he panicked.

When Shen Shizhou got sick, he worried.

When Shen Shizhou ran out of money, he paid! Paid! Paid!

At last, he understood. Besides money, he needed Shen Shizhou.

Qin Zhuo, gong x Shen Shizhou, shou

A stingy, unlucky gong x a scheming, controlling, secretly unhinged shou

Reader's guide:

1. Both the high school and adult sections get substantial attention. The exact balance is undecided.

2. Qin Zhuo didn't figure things out in his previous life because he never got the chance to spend money on his sugar daddy.

3. Main pairing. No strict stance on top or bottom. If you think a character is one, then that's what they are. Respect the characters.

4. Things will be very poor at first. Both of them are broke.

5. Both are sexually inexperienced, both are strong, each other's first love, and devoted to each other. Happy ending!

6. Hope you enjoy reading, sweethearts!
