In his senior year of high school, Gao Xu, the top student at Y City No. 1 High School, became an orphan after both his parents jumped to their deaths following bankruptcy. The darling of heaven fell from his pedestal. Friends and relatives avoided him like the plague, debt collectors came knocking, and people laughed at him.
The boy's slight frame lay broken among a pile of empty liquor bottles, cold and solitary as he waited to fall into the abyss.
After a long silence, his phone rang in the dark, still night. A game notification pulled him back from the darkness and into the world.
Elsewhere, the rich second-generation Jiang Ying discovered that the gaming goddess who hadn't logged in for ages was online. Overjoyed, he sent her a stream of concerned messages.
For once, she replied.
Jiang Ying was both surprised and delighted, and pressed his advantage: I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my girlfriend?
Half a day passed without a reply. Just as Jiang Ying was about to give up and log off, she finally responded after a long silence: Okay.
Young Master Jiang successfully won over his aloof goddess and was overjoyed. He wished he could shower her with his passionate affection twenty-four hours a day. He even ignored his friends and family's objections and gave her all the savings he'd accumulated since childhood, two million yuan, when she asked him for help for the first time. His friends and relatives promptly nicknamed him "Jiang the Big Spender."
Young Master Jiang would never know that on that day, Gao Xu desperately needed two million yuan for his grandmother's medical expenses. Driven into a corner, he was even willing to give up his dignity and kneel to beg someone for a loan.
The boy's handsome face was pale and bloodless, his thin lips as white as paper, and darkness filled his eyes. Just as he was about to kneel, a bank text arrived on his phone.
Two million yuan has been deposited into your Agricultural Bank account ending in 5689.
From then on, a ray of light found a home in his cold, dark heart.
Thirteen years later, Jiang Ying's father died young after falling ill, and his mother became gravely ill from grief. Jiang Ying's company was on the brink of bankruptcy, and its only chance was to win a contract from Gaoyu Group. Facing a host of experienced competitors, Jiang Ying was in despair and had no hope of winning. But to everyone's surprise, a young director at Gaoyu Group personally selected Jiang's company from among the many formidable contenders.
#You gave my youth a stretch of light, I'll give you a sky full of stars#
