Ye Shiyi is a retired tycoon System from the quick transmigration bureau. While on the job, he specialized in transmigrating into modern melodramatic wealthy-family scripts and royal-family feud scripts after binding to them.
After finally reaching retirement, he thought he'd get to have a body of his own, just like his seniors. But who could have guessed that even after becoming human, he'd still have to move back and forth between these two "scripts"?
The world's consciousness tells him he has to transmigrate back and forth between the two worlds to preserve what little "physical energy" he has left.
So during the day, Ye Shiyi is a sickly, universally disliked fake young master in a melodramatic rich-family story. At night, he transmigrates into ancient times and becomes an ailing, unloved prince confined to the Cold Palace.
As a tycoon System, he isn't troubled by the debuffs built into his character and the restrictions of the scripts.
Because even after transmigrating into a human body, Ye Shiyi still has his tycoon abilities.
In the wealthy-family script, he's a fake young master "richer than a nation." To make this setting plausible, the world's consciousness upgrades his ability to conjure black cards out of thin air into the ability to quietly amass a fortune.
This includes, but isn't limited to: any stock he takes a liking to is guaranteed to make money; any script he invests in is guaranteed to become a blockbuster; any product he endorses is guaranteed to sell like crazy; and any celebrity he chooses to support is guaranteed to become a top-tier star and make him a fortune.
Anything he invests in becomes a hit. He's the undisputed lucky charm of the business world.
In ancient times, he has the power to turn stone into gold. Whatever he points at turns to gold, providing the country with an endless supply of gems and gold to replenish the treasury's shortfall. With these plentiful resources, the advantageous leverage helps the underdeveloped Ye Kingdom grow stronger and stronger.
Once he's mastered the ability to "turn stone into gold," Ye Shiyi's power evolves into the ability to make anything he wishes come true. He can conjure, by sheer will, anything that can be exchanged for money.
He's like a walking treasury. Anything related to money multiplies endlessly just by virtue of his existence.
Life is pleasant and fulfilling. His family loves him, his classmates and teachers love him, the people at his company love him, and even the online friends he's never met love him.
Ye Shiyi is very happy. He loves everyone he meets in both worlds.
But he's simply too young. Whether in the modern world or ancient times, he's only a three-year-old child. He wants to grow up quickly and stop having people keep watch over him around the clock, in shifts.
But being watched isn't even the worst part. Worse still, he discovers that transmigrating between the ancient and modern worlds is compulsory.
As soon as it turns nine at night, he inevitably falls asleep. It doesn't matter where he is, and it happens without warning. No matter how much anyone tries, they can't wake him.
The same happens in the modern world. After he transmigrates to ancient times, once it gets dark, he's forced to fall asleep and returns to the modern world.
This troubles Ye Shiyi, who's experiencing being human for the first time. How is someone who can only be active during the day and inevitably falls asleep at night supposed to convince everyone he's normal?
His family and friends in both worlds are just as worried.
"Why does the young master faint every night? Nothing must happen to him! He's a living Buddha, a reincarnated lucky charm, and our great benefactor!"
"The Eleventh Prince is frail and sickly. Every night he falls into a nightmare and can't be woken up! What should we do? The emperor will be heartbroken if he finds out!"
Protagonist profile: An adorable, innocent kitty on the surface, who tries to act like an adult but fails. A generous patron who treats money like dirt. In truth, he's beautiful and adorable without realizing it, a sickly, universally adored baby whom everyone loves.
