Spending Money to Survive in an Old-School Novel

[Blurb for a completed novel in my collection]

[The Black Lotus True Heiress Has a Son Who Came Through Time]

In her senior year of high school, Jiang Cheng was approached by her biological parents and found out she was the true heiress of a wealthy family, raised outside their home.

A magnificent black lotus, Jiang Cheng seemed like a delicate white lotus on the outside, but was full of dark thoughts within.

One day, the arrogant fake heiress cornered Jiang Cheng in the hallway. Jiang Cheng skillfully gathered tears in her eyes, ready to put on a dazzling white-lotus performance.

But a handsome, unfamiliar boy suddenly rushed forward, knocked the fake heiress flying, and threw his arms around Jiang Cheng.

“Mom, I finally found you!”

Jiang Cheng: ?

From then on, eighteen-year-old Jiang Cheng had an eighteen-year-old son.

*

He Mujiang had traveled a great distance to become someone's son.

The moment He Mujiang opened his eyes, he discovered he had transmigrated twenty-five years into the past. He also learned that his mother was a short-lived, black-hearted supporting villainess in a story about a fake heiress's rise to success.

To change her early death, He Mujiang decided to stop his black-lotus mother from doing all the things that would get her killed.

During break, he grabbed Jiang Cheng's leg as she stuck it out to trip someone. “Mom, you can't do your radio exercises here.”

At noon, he clutched the hands Jiang Cheng was about to use to splash leftovers on someone. “Farmers hoe their fields at midday, sweat dripping onto the soil!”

Beside the school lake, he swiftly intercepted the arm Jiang Cheng was about to use to push someone into the water. “Let's protect water and sanitation, starting with our family.”

After his comprehensive, three-dimensional, no-blind-spots surveillance campaign, he successfully made his mother's black-lotus nature... several levels stronger.

He finally realized that his strength alone wasn't enough to save her. After much hesitation, he called that person.

“Dad! Come control your wife!”

The next day, a piece of news sent the whole of Dongcheng High into a frenzy: He Yanqing, the school's heartthrob who had been on leave for half a semester, had returned!

A few underclassmen went to his classroom to pay their respects, but found it empty.

In another spacious classroom, the young master of the He family, usually so carefree and indifferent to everyone, stood sideways in front of the petite, adorable school beauty. He grabbed the hand she was about to use to do something bad and smiled boldly.

“Be good and listen. We're not doing anything bad.”

“Kid's mom.”

[This novel's blurb]

Bai Wei transmigrated into a book and became the delicate white-lotus heroine of an old-school campus romance. The Bankruptcy System told her that if she spent her entire mission allowance, she would receive one billion yuan.

Bai Wei: That's actually possible?

System: But you can't spend it on yourself. You can only invest in other people.

Bai Wei: ?

And so began her desperate attempt to lose money.

She invested in the biggest fool in the antiques world: This was guaranteed to lose money.

But he turned out to be the chief disciple of an antiques master.

She invested in a park cleaner: Be serious, how could that possibly make a profit?

But the cleaner's chain store spread across the whole country.

She invested in a game that hadn't sold a single copy in three years: Come on! Let me lose everything!

But the game became a global hit, and royalties from the rights brought in nine figures.

Bai Wei stared silently at the hundred-billion-yuan fortune in her mission account. Could she even spend all this money?

**

Since this was an old-school tragic campus romance, Bai Wei thought she could leave the plot behind and live beautifully on her own. Who could have guessed that the characters would all turn strange?

The arrogant, flamboyant male lead broke into a silly, sweet smile.

“Woman, do you like me?”

The icy female second lead looked down at her from on high.

“Do you want to be friends with me?”

The villain, a puppy on the outside but a wolf within, showed off his little tiger teeth.

“Will you go on a date with me tomorrow?”

The aloof male character who hadn't appeared in the original story shielded her.

“Don't be afraid. I'm here.”

Later, some people used her, some framed her, and someone even tried to hit on her.

Bai Wei: Danger! A deadly, old-school romance novel, and every character is a villain!

Theme: Work hard to change your fate.
