Investing in My Ex-Boyfriend, Making Billions First

By every measure, Lin Yun was a successful man. He obeyed the law, worked diligently, and owned a business empire. He had wealth beyond imagining, yet he still met an untimely end. He endured more than a year of suffering in a hospital bed before finally drawing his last breath.

Then he transmigrated into a book.

The book was a foreign sports power fantasy. Its male lead was born with extraordinary talent, was reborn, and eventually became a sports legend, worth as much as a publicly traded company all by himself.

But Lin Yun arrived at the worst possible moment: the original owner of his body had just broken up with the protagonist, who had fallen to rock bottom.

There was nothing he could do to change things, so he decided to follow the plot. Then, just as he turned around, the [Grind King System] appeared out of nowhere, determined to make him work himself to the bone.

No thanks. He just wanted to be a slacker and enjoy his new life.

But he could make the male lead work hard instead.

Everyone knows that a male lead who doesn't push himself isn't worth his salt, so he was the perfect match for the [Grind King System].

And so the System was bound to Lin Yun, but it was the male lead who got worked to the bone.

“Ding! The Contractor has completed 10,000 squats. Reward: 1 random attribute point.”

The male lead's stats went up, and Lin Yun got 10 points.

10 points = $10,000.

“Ding! The Contractor has completed 10,000 push-ups. Reward: 1 random attribute point.”

“Host receives 10 points.”

“Ding! The Contractor has completed 10,000 crunches. Reward: 1 random attribute point.”

“Host receives 10 points.”

“Ding…”

Later, as the protagonist repeatedly claimed the pinnacle of the world and became worth far more than any publicly traded company, Lin Yun lounged on his private island, basking in the sun as he watched the System's revenue share soar.

And that self-assured Child of Destiny called him first after every championship win.

“...Baby, every bone in my body is calling your name.”

*[Grind King of Kings System] notice:

*High-quality Host detected. Binding successful.

*Host has successfully contracted an SSS-potential individual: Hal Gus.

*Current status: Host is lying flat; Contractor is working desperately hard.

*System revenue: continuing to skyrocket.

*Conclusion: This System has never seen such an efficient, low-energy business model.

@Appeal: Probably the height difference, a couple striving together, a slacker's life, and a husband who earns while his wife spends.

@A sweet romance with a touch of jealousy, no melodrama, and sweetness from beginning to end.

@To Hal, Lin Yun's arrival was like a breeze clearing away the haze, like warm winter sunshine. It made him want to hold him close. He was so small, surely he could fit entirely in his arms, like a delicate, beautiful doll, whom he could carefully and tenderly pose in all sorts of ways...

Warning: Neither of them is sexually inexperienced; both have a past.

"Going Home to Open a Fishing Resort: The Intangible Heritage Waters System"

Tan Yue binds himself to the [Waters Time Acceleration System], quits his job, and returns home to take over the village's abandoned big-fish fishing resort.

System notice: Sign a contract for each intangible cultural heritage project to receive a special waters buff.

Uncle Tan at the village entrance has spent his whole life making traditional bamboo fishing rods. It takes him two years to make one, and he sells them for a hundred yuan, yet people still complain they're overpriced.

After Tan Yue signs a contract, the System rewards him with a 300% increase in rod resilience, and permanently doubles the pulling strength of the fish in his pond.

The fishing fanatics are ecstatic: “That's the stuff! I love that tug-of-war feeling!”

With the fishing fanatics making introductions, Tan Yue signs another contract, this time for the traditional fry-selection technique, and brings back its essential tool: the Jiujiang fish sieve.

System reward: Fry quality is refined, and the odds of raising giant fish skyrocket.

The fishing fanatics call their friends: “Get over here, guys! There's a monster in this pond!”

From then on, Tan Yue searches the world for intangible heritage traditions related to water, while transforming his fishing resort in all sorts of creative ways:

Giant fish are caught one after another, the competition to look good gets fiercer, and one “pondside drifter” becomes an online star.

The resort's fame spreads from town to province, from China to the rest of the world, and even catches the attention of the International Fish Association.

With his help, the village comes back to life.

Fish lantern dances light up the nights, fishermen's work songs ring across the reservoir, and the fishing songs of Dongting Lake are sung once more.

Young people who left to work elsewhere return, and the elderly earn a living right at their doorsteps.

And his fishing pond becomes a nationally recognized tourism landmark.
