The son of a billionaire, Shen Ze is reborn in a parallel world with no parents and nothing but four bare walls. The System requires him to remain completely penniless for three years before he can return to the real world.
For the chance to go back and inherit a fortune worth billions, he puts up with it.
So while everyone else buys houses, he sells his. While everyone else goes into business, he gives to charity. When he runs into a robber, he charges forward and begs to be robbed...
Robber: This has to be a sting operation! Run, guys! The cops are here!
Shen Ze: W-wait a second!
He thinks this will be the perfect way to stay poor.
So he heads back to the countryside without a worry, builds a thatched hut, and plans to survive the next three years by farming.
But to his surprise, one swing of the hoe uncovers a huge gold nugget.
Oh, no!!! This definitely isn't mine. I have to donate it to the village to build a road!
Villagers: What a good person!
A few days later, people from a charity association come to see him. They say a kindhearted old man insists on leaving him his entire estate.
Old man: Young man, I've been watching you for ages. You're the only one who truly cares about charity. I feel safe leaving you my money!
Shen Ze: I can't! I don't want it! Take it away!
Later, the old man's son comes to see him. Shen Ze is overjoyed, thinking he can finally get rid of the money.
But the man brings him an even more generous share of the family fortune.
Gu Chuan: I wonder if the way I'm pursuing you is sincere enough...
Shen Ze looks like he's suffocating. Trembling, he grabs the other's shoulders and says through his tears, "If you love me, don't hurt me with money!"
Gu Chuan: ...He's so special. I love him so much. (Blushing)
