Forum post: If five men proposed to you all on the same day, what would you do?

Yu Yi: Accept them all and have them make dumplings together.

A joke that came true.

Yu Yi transmigrates into a melodramatic rich-family novel, becoming a vicious cannon fodder who moves among the rich and famous, making money by stealing business secrets.

[You are vicious and vain, and live by the principle that money comes first. If someone has money, they’re your dad; if they don’t, they’re a dog.

Anyone who passes by you and looks at you will lose a zero from their bank balance, and the missing money will automatically be transferred into your account.]

Yu Yi is overjoyed. Is this money falling from the sky?

He cautiously confirms: “Is what you said true?”

But the moment the System reveals his next task, his expression changes:

[System Mission: Get five all-powerful male leads from the book to propose to you within a single day. Time limit: one month.]

Yu Yi QAQ: “Could you take back that ability you mentioned earlier?”

To fit the vicious cannon fodder role, rake in money, and still complete his mission, Yu Yi gives it some serious thought with his little brain:

If he makes sure the male leads see him every day and keep their eyes on him, they’ll go broke. And once they’re broke, they won’t be male leads anymore. If there are no male leads in the book, then the mission will be complete on its own.

The more Yu Yi thinks about it, the more excited he gets. So he begins his plan to show his face in front of the male leads and rip them off...

Then one day, on a beach in Hawaii, Yu Yi is enjoying male lead B applying sunscreen for him. He figures he’s made enough appearances and casually asks the men:

“Do you still have money in your accounts? You should be broke by now, right?”

Male lead A, still waiting in line, stares at him. “No money? Oh, baby, which bank or which card are you talking about?”

Yu Yi: “...”

What a disgusting capitalist. I want to punch him!!!

[Reader’s Guide:]

1. Pretty, silly, money-loving cat-like wife vs. overpowered male leads (hopeless romantic / sharp-tongued, aloof type / refined scum with a dad vibe / gloomy obsessive stalker / hot-tempered ingrate)

2. The shou is an oblivious, silly flirt and cross-dresses.

3. The gongs are devoted in both body and heart.

4. A lethal dose of cuteness, sweet enough to make you dizzy.
