From Exile to the Richest Man in the Galaxy

Original title: "The First Female Tycoon in the Stars" Also known as: "I Got a Romance System, but the Male Leads All Work for Me" Overnight, Xiao Qicai went from being a corporate CEO to a low-level citizen exiled to the stars. The good news is that she got a golden finger, an intelligent System that surpasses the civilization of the stars. The bad news is that it's a romance System, the kind of idiot thing that urges her to find men and play out tortured love stories. Everyone knows that men only slow down her money-making. But wait, she thinks she's figured out how to use the romance System properly! The romance System diligently helps her screen potential partners, but things keep getting more and more off-track... ● Candidate No. 1: A mysterious underground big shot of humble origins, ruthless and cold-hearted, with a dead white moonlight in his heart. Romance System: Pretend to be his white moonlight and make him fall for you! Let's do a substitute romance and a groveling-after-the-breakup arc... Xiao Qicai: We've just invested in a time machine project. Sign this employment contract and join Xiao Corp. In ten years, you'll be able to go back and save your white moonlight. The underground big shot hesitates, but finally nods for the sake of his white moonlight: Sign me up! ● Candidate No. 2: An heir to a financial conglomerate being hunted by his enemies, a noble, aloof darling of heaven who never lets anyone near him, now suffering from a rare poison. Romance System: What an opportunity! Get close to him while you cure his poison, build a relationship, seal the deal, then get pregnant... Xiao Qicai: Sign this IOU for 10 billion star coins and I'll save your life. Sounds like a good deal, right? The heir is dumbfounded, but grits his teeth for the sake of his life: Fine! ● Candidate No. 3: A military marshal, powerful and influential, iron-hearted and ruthless, whose word is law even in the United Government. Romance System: Conquer him and he'll hand you the world. We can win without lifting a finger... Xiao Qicai: Sure, got it. I'll spend three months building a good relationship with him and try to win the military's contracts too. The military marshal: What, you've got new technology? I'll buy it! ● Supporting character No. 1: A beautiful, scheming rich heiress, petty and money-grubbing after her family goes bankrupt. Romance System: Master, why are you staring at her? She's just a chosen female supporting character! You can't be planning to recruit her into your company too, can you? Xiao Qicai: What do you know? Turn on yuri mode! In three seconds, I want all the information on this beautiful woman who can bargain. I mean, procurement manager! The villainess: President Xiao, you really have such a good eye! System: ? Later, Xiao Qicai becomes the richest person in the stars, and all those potential romantic partners become diligent wage slaves in her corporation. [Interview with a wage slave [potential romantic partner]: At first, I thought she was approaching me because she wanted to date me. I never expected to somehow sign a 20-year labor contract?] P.S.: 1. The heroine has no CP. The protagonist isn't perfect. It's a self-improvement power fantasy, set in an original interstellar world. 2. Lots of supporting characters and a slight team-building angle. There are male and female supporting characters. This is not an all-female story! My new story, "Global Ascension, and I'm Just an Ordinary Person," is coming soon. Please add it to your reading list, thanks~ Overnight, the world ascends to a higher dimension. Spiritual qi revival begins, Western magic and Eastern fantasy become reality, and spirits, demons, and monsters appear everywhere. The age of universal cultivation has arrived. Everyone awakens a talent for cultivation, except Xu Zhangyi. Her best friend leaves her: "I'm sorry, you can't cultivate, but I'm a cultivation genius and got special admission to Qingda University of Cultivation in the capital. We're worlds apart now. We can't hang out anymore!" Her boyfriend of three days breaks up with her: "I was only dating you because I wanted you to tutor me and see if you could get the top score on the college entrance exam, so you could get me into a top university as your plus-one. But now you have no cultivation talent, and the college entrance exam has been canceled too. Staying with you will only hold me back!" Even her homeroom teacher, who had high hopes for her, gives her a notice of expulsion: "Our school is reorganizing classes based on cultivation talent. You have none, so drop out, or you'll hurt our school's college admission rate!" Former college entrance exam top-scorer prospect and science whiz Xu Zhangyi: ? All right, fine! So that's how you want to play! She immediately calls a professor of quantum nuclear energy at Capital University: "Professor, does your offer to recommend me for admission to your program still stand?" Professor Qi, who is worried about the education reform and can't find any students, replies: "Of course it does! When everyone wants to cultivate and become an immortal, you still want to devote yourself to physics research. That's so... wise! The School of Energy and Power Engineering welcomes you!" Later, cultivation geniuses gather in the capital, fighting tooth and nail over cultivation and their exams. Anyone who fails the demon-extermination assessment can't graduate. Xu Zhangyi's former best friend and ex-boyfriend spend half a month chasing a great demon across the desert with their cultivation team. They just can't kill it! They really can't kill it! Suddenly, a huge explosion rings out ahead. When the mushroom cloud dissipates, the great demon's body has been blown to pieces, and the blast leaves all the cultivators covered in dust. Xu Zhangyi climbs down from a helicopter and calmly tells them: "Don't worry, this is a sniper missile I've modified. It doesn't give off radiation. I just missed the target a little. You're not hurt, are you?" Former best friend: ! Former boyfriend: ! The handsome young man in a white coat behind her calmly puts on gloves and starts collecting the demon's corpse: "Move aside. Don't get in the way while we collect civil-service exam points and research materials." Former best friend: ? Former boyfriend: ? P.S.: A fictional setting. Please don't compare it to the real world. It's a world where technology and fantasy coexist. The heroine's power-up path is all about technology. It may be a slow-burn power fantasy. CP: A calm, rational science whiz vs. a beautiful, scheming genius of traditional Chinese medicine Theme: Live with determination and change your fate
