Na Yu's life is like a bungee jump.
Before college, she was rich and beautiful. After starting college, her family fortune collapsed, and she made a living as a B-list actress on the strength of her looks. The scary part was that her boss was the son of the nanny she'd bullied without restraint as a girl. Even scarier, her boss was following the plot of "My Rich Dad Found Me"...
Just as Na Yu was about to be driven mad by her boss's spiteful treatment, she got a money-making System and became rich overnight.
Na Yu: Quitting is out of the question. I won't quit until I've made my boss drop dead from anger.
I clock in and out on time. I don't work overtime. When the boss is eating, I spin the table. When he speaks, I sing. When he gets mad, I applaud. When he makes empty promises, I burst his bubble!
Hey, boss! Surprised? Didn't see that coming?
Jiang Yan: You really think you can get away with this.
Na Yu immediately took leave and spent tens of millions to book a trip to space.
Jiang Yan: …

Ever since Na Yu let loose and set out on the road to infuriating her boss, she became an inexplicable hit.
Hater: She's just putting on a rich-and-beautiful act! If she's so rich, why doesn't she move into Tomson Riviera?
A few days later, Na Yu posted a photo of her new house on Weibo.
Caption: Thanks for asking. I bought one. The only problem is that I thought the development was a bit old.
Na Yu: I'm just an unremarkable person with a tiny bit of money-making power. :)

Jiang Yan understood that Na Yu thought he hated her and was deliberately taking revenge. But she didn't know he'd poached her roles because the directors had indecent designs on her and wanted to arrange a sexual transaction; he was cold and curt because he was afraid people would start rumors and accuse her of riding his coattails.
He didn't hate her at all. In fact, he still remembered that rainy night when he was down on his luck as a boy. The girl opened the car door and said, "I just happened to be passing by. I'll give you a ride, so don't get the wrong idea and think I came looking for you on purpose."
As she spoke, she handed him an umbrella, shielding him from the storms of his youth.
Theme: It's better to rely on yourself than on others
