"Hey, friend, want to get rich? Want to reach the pinnacle of life and marry a beautiful, wealthy woman?
Come on in! The Poverty God System is at your service!"
Lu Qingya: No thanks.
System: Ding! Binding complete!
Lu Qingya: ...
Wherever Lu Qingya turns for support, it falls apart. He's driven several companies into bankruptcy and seems to have the God of Misfortune constantly on his heels. After transmigrating into a cultivation novel as a disposable cannon fodder character, he thinks he'll get the protagonist's halo and coast to victory. Instead, he's forced to bind himself to a broken System that everyone hates.
Anyone who insults him goes bankrupt.
Anyone who harms him goes bankrupt.
Even the people who have crushes on him... go bankrupt.
Life is impossible like this. Then the novel's ultimate villain, the defiant Demon Lord Jian Cang, binds him and takes him away.
Lu Qingya: ...Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?
Jian Cang: Hmph. Of course not!
The next day, news spreads across the Nine Provinces and Three Realms: the Demon Lord, the wealthiest man under heaven, has gone bankrupt...
Jian Cang: What are you looking at? I do what I want!
The once-arrogant Demon Lord looks down at his last three pitiful copper coins, hugs his piggy bank, and shamefully knocks on Lu Qingya's door to beg for a place to stay.
And so the sleazy System's opening pitch changes to:
"Hey, friend, want to reach the pinnacle of life and marry the dashing Demon Lord from across the mountain?"
Lu Qingya: No!!
System: Ding! The Host has raised no objections. One Demon Lord will now be assigned to you.
Lu Qingya: …
[Couple] A lazy, unlucky, fake-cannon-fodder bottom × a cold-hearted in public, childish in private Demon Lord top
