Isn't Money Just the Best? [Infinite]

Romance version: 1. Ling Lu, the newest big shot in Thorny Paradise, has only one ability: an endless supply of money with no known source. With her money power, she can get through any instance with no more than a few scares. Still, anyone who has tackled an instance with Ling Lu knows the big shot has a strange quirk: No matter how dire the crisis or how far the instance has progressed, before the day ends at midnight, she insists on stopping to write a letter. No one knows who Ling Lu is writing to. Only Ling Lu knows that the recipient will never receive her letters. 2. Pei Xu, who has dominated the top spot on the combat rankings for years, is the undisputed ruler of Thorny Paradise. He is formidable, experienced, and ruthless in battle. No matter how difficult an instance is, he can calmly lead his clients to victory and never lets them risk throwing their money away. He is someone everyone looks up to. But only Pei Xu knows the real reason he has all this, and why he has lingered in Thorny Paradise for fifteen years: the mysterious full-health revival that arrives promptly at midnight every day. At first, Pei Xu thought that as an emotionless wage slave, Ling Lu was a very generous boss. Only later did he realize that the reason he had spent fifteen years in this world was simply to wait for her. 3. I have asked the heavens countless times why they kept me here and gave me abilities, strength, and eternal youth. Only when you appeared did I understand that all I could ever repay you with was a tiny fraction of what you gave me. Power-fantasy version: When zombies besieged the city, the combat powerhouse swung his sharp blade at the Corpse King before him. Wiping the blood from the blade, he said, “When the apocalypse comes, only absolute strength can keep you alive. Money is the first thing people abandon.” When creatures from another world ran rampant, the magic powerhouse exhausted all his mana to cast a forbidden spell. After wiping out countless monsters, he let out a long breath. “Only magic can defeat magic. Money is nothing in the face of magic.” As ghosts and monsters ran amok, the mental-power powerhouse skillfully wielded his psychic powers to fight a vicious ghost. “Only mental power is supreme. Only mental power can surpass everything. There’s no place for money in the world of mental power.” Ling Lu, who considered everything worthless except her endless fortune, scrolled through the game shop and bought every legendary item without batting an eye, planning to coast to victory. Completely baffled, she said, “Do you people have some kind of misunderstanding about money? Isn’t having cash great?” Reading guide: 1.

Blurb: After getting a second chance at life, Nan Yin realized that she was actually a sacrificial side character in an old-fashioned romance novel. Her sole purpose was to leave a huge inheritance to the male lead, who was currently her fiancé, so he could build a financial empire and wield enough money power to wage a tortured, passionate love affair with the heroine for three million words. Now, her fiancé was late to register their marriage because of a traffic jam. But Nan Yin knew that the traffic jam was a load of nonsense. In reality, he had just run into the heroine, his unattainable first love, setting their tormented romance in motion. The important thing was that after derailing the plot countless times, Nan Yin discovered she couldn’t refuse the major plot point of registering their marriage today. So Nan Yin decided she’d rather be a rich widow than a dead wife people remembered fondly. For example, the widow of Ji Qinglin, her sworn enemy since childhood, who would die in a car accident a week from now. 2. Ji Qinglin, known as the world’s top money-making machine, has more wealth than anyone and the darkest of moods. No one knows what kind of madness lies behind his increasingly gloomy expression. After trying countless methods, Ji Qinglin finally confirmed that he couldn’t avoid dying a week later. But the instant he answered the phone, he suddenly realized that the death countdown that had been echoing madly in his ears had stopped. Looking at the name of his sworn enemy on the phone screen, Ji Qinglin suddenly thought that if he could escape the curse of death, perhaps he didn’t have to remain at odds with Nan Yin until the end of their lives. 3. One week, two weeks... One month, two months... Six months, one year... Nan Yin despairingly felt her slightly rounded belly and wailed inwardly: Damn it, why won’t my husband die already?! A simple story that begins with scheming and ends with finding the one. Theme: No matter what adversity you face, perseverance will bring you victory.
