At the end of the year, her company carried out major layoffs, and Luo Xi, who had worked diligently for six years, was among those let go.
With the Lunar New Year approaching and her thirtieth birthday around the corner, everything was going wrong for Luo Xi. Her boyfriend cheated on her, and she lost her job. Just as she was wondering how to tell her parents the truth when she went home for the holiday, she unexpectedly got a bragging System.
The System was easy to use: whenever someone nearby bragged, Luo Xi would receive an item of equal value.
Visiting relatives for the holiday, her older cousin showed off the diamond ring her rich husband had given her. “This diamond is called the Star of the Desert. It's worth twenty million. My husband bought it especially for me. There are only ten in the whole world, and this is the last one.”
System: “Worth at most two hundred. Pried off a chandelier. Your cousin is bragging. Congratulations, player, you've received the last Star of the Desert in the world.”
At a class reunion, her former deskmate swaggered and tossed his Porsche keys onto the dining table. “I just picked this car up before the New Year. It cost over five million.”
System: “Rented from a car rental company for five hundred a day, fuel not included. Your classmate is bragging. Congratulations, player, you've received a luxury car of equal value.”
Meeting up with a friend, a fellow employee who had also been laid off strutted around proudly. “I just got a new job, as an executive assistant to the CEO. A hundred thousand a month. It's not the kind of great job just anyone can get.”
System: “She's an assistant to the sales director. Three thousand five hundred a month, with no meals or housing included. She has to serve tea and water, and put up with her lecherous boss. Your friend is bragging. Congratulations, player, you've received a position as executive assistant to the CEO of a publicly listed company.”
Luo Xi: “!!!”
Her sudden fortune was coming too fast. She couldn't handle it.

Now nearing thirty, Luo Xi finally got to experience the joys of being rich. She could get a house and a car with ease, without taking out a loan.
But the good times didn't last. The System underwent an abrupt internal overhaul. Its host had to spend all the money earned through the System as quickly as possible, or pay back double. She was basically the second Wang Duoyu.
For the first step in spending money, Luo Xi went to a bar and picked the most expensive handsome guy there.
He had red lips and white teeth, and two sweet dimples when he smiled. He was just a little young, wearing casual sportswear and looking almost like a high school student.
Handsome guys were out working at such a young age these days? How tough!
Luo Xi stroked his warm cheek, unable to resist. “Come on, give big sis a kiss.”
After a night of passion, Luo Xi woke up the next morning to a call from the bar owner. He told her that the handsome guy she'd spent money on the night before had gotten into a car accident on his way home and was in the hospital.
If the guy had been in a car accident, then who was the one lying beside her now?
Luo Xi stared in horror as the handsome guy poked his head out from under the covers. “Big sis, can you take me back to school?”
Luo Xi: “Which school?”
The handsome guy smiled. “The affiliated high school.”
Luo Xi was stunned. “A middle school? Did I accidentally commit a crime?”
Luo Xi, Luo Xi, just because you've got money now, you can't get carried away like this!
