Shan Xiaocai is a System.
After helping her Host endure the darkest years and claw his way up from the dirt for a decade, her rebellious Host becomes a domineering CEO, decides he's strong enough to stand on his own, takes off the bracelet containing the System, and goes solo.
As he takes off, luxury cars and mansions come pouring in;
meanwhile, Shan Xiaocai gathers dust in a storage room.
Since she's been out of contact with her Host for so long, Shan Xiaocai will soon be automatically unbound and have her consciousness erased.
Sending an unbinding notice is her last chance to contact him. To stay alive, she has to figure out how to fit a pitiful plea to get him to bind her again into the limited character count.
But before she can even make her plea, the domineering CEO moves into another mansion. His assistant puts Shan Xiaocai in a pile of unused things, which are packed up and sold to a luxury secondhand shop.
Shan Xiaocai: ...Damn it, I'm finished!
She lies in the corner of a display case, utterly dejected, when she unexpectedly runs into Chi Yunshu, the sworn enemy she and her domineering CEO Host once did everything they could to crush.
Compared to her current sorry state, he looks sharp and is doing quite well. As luck would have it, he finds her among a pile of junk and takes her home as a free gift.
What a cursed connection... Shan Xiaocai decisively unbinds from her former Host and immediately binds to a new one.
Hiding her identity, she encourages Chi Yunshu to strive for a net worth of a hundred billion, while secretly using the opportunity to get revenge on her former Host.
Shan Xiaocai's three-part pep talk: Look! The CEO's downtown villa, his yacht, and the heiress he's pursuing!
Listen to me: steal his west-side development project, invest in a rising company before he does, and show off in front of a rich beauty. I guarantee you'll rocket past him in six months and outshine him!
Chi Yunshu's three-part hesitation: A villa? I'd need to hire a live-in housekeeper to maintain it, and I don't like having strangers at home. A yacht? I wouldn't use it more than a few times a year, and upkeep costs a fortune. A rich heiress... You want me to sell myself for glory?!
Shan Xiaocai: ...
Chi Yunshu once held his own against two rivals at once, competing fiercely with her and the CEO without losing ground! How has he become so utterly unambitious?!
Then one day, her former Host and Chi Yunshu unexpectedly cross paths.
The moment the CEO sees the bracelet on Chi Yunshu's wrist, he charges over like a madman and tries to snatch it, screaming for Shan Xiaocai to come back.
The next moment, a formidable National Security guard unit rushes out of nowhere and slams the CEO's face against the ground. "Are you insane? You dare lay a hand on Professor Chi, who leads a key research project and holds patents worth hundreds of billions?"
Shan Xiaocai: ???
What? Professor Chi? Hundreds of billions? A scientific research powerhouse? So he wasn't unmotivated about his mission because something was wrong with his brain. He had already reached a higher dimension?
Wait, does that mean she'd already won the ultimate goal the moment she bound herself to him? Then why didn't this guy say anything?
Chi Yunshu glances at the CEO, his gaze dark and sinister: Shan Xiaocai is the lucky break he's long coveted and finally earned through his own abilities. Why would he ever hand her over?
