Couple dynamic: A gorgeous, workaholic bottom who loves money and would do anything for it x an energetic puppy who never turns back once he realizes he's fallen for him

Huo Xu transmigrated into a book one day and discovered that he had become the universally despised fake young master in a Green River novel.

His family had already gone bankrupt and run up astronomical debts. A horde of loan sharks gathered outside, along with the real young master who had taken his place, his vicious stepmother, and a pack of awful poor relatives.

In front of him was a blind fiance who recognized the jade pendant but not the person wearing it. Behind him was a devoted CEO who invited him to star in a substitute romance.

Even when he went out to buy groceries, a mob boss in distress would spawn every 24 hours, give him a wicked smile, and say, “You've caught my attention, man.”

At school, a pervert secretly stalked him, stuffing love letters and strange objects into his desk and schoolbag.

Faced with an endless stream of groveling exes and all kinds of wild, artsy roleplay scenarios,

Huo Xu, three-time champion on Haitang's annual popularity list, had this to say: “Great. The romance addicts are all in one place, the marriage market is wide open, and it's perfect soil for a high-quality otome game.”

As for men? Get lost. They'd only slow down his money-making.

He immediately listed his mansion on a secondhand marketplace, then turned around and booked a yearlong VIP spot under a bridge.

Huo Xu succeeded.

Two days before the college entrance exam results came out, admissions offices at top universities had already jammed his phone lines. Having earned his first pot of gold, Huo Xu promptly filed for a game license.

That same year, the hit otome game he developed launched successfully in North America and was released worldwide. By early spring of the following year, the life-science gaming company he held shares in had made it into the top fifty on the Forbes list.

Three years later, the Starry Sky Amusement Park Development and Tour Plan, which Huo Xu had helped fund and develop, was successfully launched on Jupiter.

Admission tickets alone cost a staggering 80 million.

The editor-in-chief of Time magazine was assigned to interview Huo Xu and asked what he was proudest of to date.

The handsome, wealthy tycoon smiled bashfully. “Maybe that I accidentally... made a little bit of money?”

And yet this very man, through his own efforts, had pulled the wheels of the world forward by hundreds of years.

The editor-in-chief then asked what he would like to say to the ordinary people who had supported him all along.

Huo Xu gestured toward the camera, showing off the understated platinum ring on his left ring finger. “I'm very grateful for all the love and support you've given me. They helped me marry money. Thank you, everyone.”

That's right, he married the God of Wealth, who had cultivated a two-hundred-meter golden body, and they got their marriage certificate. Don't ask how that could even happen.

When you are rich enough, you become the one who makes the rules.

Also known as:

#He could have relied on his looks, but chose to rely on his talent!

#The wise don't fall in love, they get into top universities for master's and doctoral degrees!

#Walk the roads of others and leave them with nowhere to go.

#Meanwhile, his late-to-the-party, straight male partner is trying his hardest to take a two-hundred-meter solid-gold statue of the God of Wealth to the moon, so he can announce their relationship to the entire universe.

Don't ask. The answer is that my brain short-circuited when my wife confessed to me. Wife! I'm really not straight, sob! Damn being straight qwq!

Here's where the upcoming story recommendation begins

One-line premise: An utterly ordinary heartthrob

Qi Ji is a novelist who loves leaving plot holes unresolved and writing endings that go nowhere.

So one day, all the villains in his stories staged a collective revolt.

Qi Ji was bundled off to the many little worlds he'd written to clean up the mess.

But he felt no remorse at all. “I stopped writing. They still can't beat the overpowered protagonist? Don't blame the author for your own incompetence.”

Punishment System: ??

The villains: “If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself?”

Qi Ji did just that, and his ending turned out to be exactly like his name.

No. 1: The Capitalist Who Isn't Evil Anymore

#Master strategist · loves high-stakes gambling · golden-haired capitalist with a heart of gold

You're the founder of a game development company with a modest reputation in the industry. But lately, development has hit one roadblock after another, and the overpowered protagonist has utterly crushed your market share. You also lost by a single point to your archnemesis at a crucial bidding conference. Your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you have to make 10 billion within three months!

With a three-pronged strategy of otome games, MOBA competitions, and a full-dive companion-raising app featuring alternate versions of yourself, Qi Ji rose to the top of the industry. The company's revenue topped 100 million in a single day. In the end, the overpowered protagonist, stripped of all his staff, had no choice but to come work for his company.

#So what if the overpowered protagonist is a born genius? Haven't you heard that the author's intelligence determines the protagonist's intelligence?

No. 2: Sorry, A Pretty Face Can Do Anything

#Cool and aloof but into rock music · masked band frontman

Before the show began, you were a rising star in the idol world. But after a heaven-chosen contender appeared out of nowhere, and you were accused of school bullying, viewers who hated you took turns pushing you onto trending topics, furiously demanding that the ticket-selling nobody get out of the entertainment industry.

But Qi Ji fought his way through with original songs and a bass guitar. Every time he appeared during the competition, his exceptional looks drew in hordes of viewers.

He said, “I want to stand at the top, because I want you, the people who like me, to see me.”

Three months after debuting as the group's center, he was already famous throughout Asia.

Later, a recording that cleared his name accidentally leaked, and fans were quick to condemn the useless company that had held him back: “If you don't have the skills, don't take on a job you can't handle.”

#The most terrifying thing in the world is a talented, good-looking, hardworking workaholic.

No. 3: The Mad, Antisocial Scientist of the Apocalypse

#Flesh is weak · mechanical deus ex machina · abstinent, cold scientist

Your secret has come to light. You face harsh accusations from the Security Council, and the Dawn Squad, led by the overpowered protagonist, has submitted a complete chain of reasoning showing how you used major bases as experimental sites. Branded a criminal of Blue Star, you're about to face the torture of being torn apart by chariots.

But with just three sentences, Qi Ji restored himself to the revered position of chief scientist. The senior leaders of the various bases rushed to bow their noble heads and follow his lead. His words became the will of the people.

#In the face of absolute profit, even yesterday's sworn enemies can make peace today.

No. 4

The Twilight of the Gods...

To be continued...

The villains who watched it all unfold: ...

Who could possibly outdo you at making people swoon, you absolute menace?

Punishment System: +1. This time, the Host is operating on another level.

#What do you mean, an utterly ordinary novelist? Even Satan would have to get a tattoo of you on his back.

#If no one were born overpowered, the ages would be an endless night.

Theme: Positive energy
