The shou was a successful CEO in his previous life. By the age of twenty-nine, he had earned more money than he could ever spend, but he died young in a car accident without ever having been in a relationship.
After his death, the shou was reborn at the age of twenty-two and ended up in a world formed from the fusion of several novels, where he was bound to a System that made him spend money on male streamers.
The account linked to the System still held all the money he had earned in his previous life: an astronomical sum. His mission was to shower it all on male streamers.
Shou: What the hell, that's my money! You're making me do charity with my own money?!
System: Spend it all, and you'll get the chance to be reborn. Is that worth it or not?
Thinking of how hard he'd worked to make money in his previous life, only to die without taking a cent with him, the shou decided he might as well spend it. Gritting his teeth, he agreed.
Every novel fused into this world was, without exception, a story about the shou throwing himself at the gong.
All kinds of handsome male streamers accepted the shou's money reluctantly, only to find true love elsewhere in the end.
The shou's entire character amounted to two words: walking wallet.
After arriving in this world, the shou opened Douyin every day with no will to live, showering male streamers with all sorts of extravagant gifts right on schedule. One flashy effect after another filled the screen. He used an auto-clicker to send them, then logged off immediately without even bothering to watch the streams.
Before long, the shou became a famous big spender in streamer circles, earning the nickname "The Charity Guy."
He wouldn't add them as friends or make any demands, and he didn't even reply when streamers messaged him first.
He just kept showering them with coins.
After a while, the shou became the top supporter in several male streamers' rooms.
But for some reason, the streamers who were supposed to ignore him suddenly began messaging him first, talking about life, their dreams, and their families.
And in the end, they all added: "I don't love your money. I love you."
Shou: ?
Hold it, hold it. Wasn't he already spending enough on these guys? Did they seriously think they could date him?
Not a chance!
The shou gave them all the same reply: "If you're short on cash, just say so."
The male streamers were deeply hurt. They sent messages one after another: "Is that all I am to you?" "I just want you to keep me company." "Do you think I'm just like those other male streamers?"...
Shou: ...
Why was it so hard to simply shower someone with coins?

The gong was originally a rich second-generation kid. After his family cut him off, he was still in school when he gritted his teeth and became a streamer to prove he could make it without relying on them.
The gong was tall and handsome, with a bright, cheerful image in his videos, but he was reserved and bad at chatting, so big spenders often left. On the rare occasions when one sent him money and asked him out to dinner, he refunded them and politely declined.
Just as the gong was about to give up and bow his head to his family...
A big spender suddenly appeared in his stream and sent him a hundred Carnival gifts without a word.
The gong was stunned. Before he could even say thank you, the big spender had logged off again.
The gong thought he'd said something wrong, but the next day the big spender showed up right on time again, spending lavishly and sending an astonishing number of gifts.
The third day, the fourth day... It went on just the same.
When the gong could no longer sit still, he messaged the mysterious big spender and asked if they could add each other as friends. The big spender politely declined.
Gong: ...
What a quirky big spender.
As the big spender kept showing up, the gong still couldn't manage to exchange a single word with him.
The big spender only appeared when the gong was doing a PK battle and needed his help.
The gong couldn't figure out what the big spender felt for him.
Did he like his looks, like him as a person, or simply enjoy watching his streams?
Without realizing it, the gong began looking forward to the big spender's visits every day.
Until one day, the gong finally worked up the courage to message him and ask: Can we meet in person?
The big spender replied: Need money again?
Gong: No, I just want to meet you.
Big spender: No need.
The gong finally couldn't hold back the question: Then what do you like about me? Why send me so many gifts if you won't even meet me?
Big spender: I don't like you. I just happen to enjoy sending people gifts.
The gong was so angry that he didn't log in for half a month.

While showering male streamers with money, the shou came across an amusing little streamer. He was both cute and handsome, shy, and well-spoken. Whenever he received a gift, he looked flustered. Whenever he saw the shou in his stream, he couldn't help smiling happily, revealing adorable little dimples.
The shou, who never watched livestreams, stayed for a long time in this dull stream with nothing much going on.
Until one day, the little streamer asked to meet him. Afraid he'd fall for him, the shou made up an excuse and turned him down.
The little streamer was so angry that he ignored him for half a month.
Only then did the shou, who still hadn't completed his mission, realize he'd taken the joke too far.
Half a month later, the shou finally messaged the little streamer first: If you still want to meet... I guess we could.
Gong: ?
Shou: Just don't smile at me when we meet.
Gong: Why not?
Shou: I'm afraid I'll fall for you.
Gong: ...Okay.
But the moment they met, the gong beamed at the shou with a sunny, puppy-like smile, his two bright canine teeth flashing.
Just as expected, the shou fell for him.
