Zhao Xiaofei was just an ordinary office worker. Her longtime boyfriend cheated on her with a fake rich heiress, humiliated her in public, and mocked her for being too low-born to deserve love. Heartbroken and furious, she cursed the sky in the rain—and got struck by lightning. She woke up with a system. Nine trillion yuan in startup funds. The rule: spend money on your love targets. When their affection reaches 100, get 100x cashback. Her first target was Chen Yu, a cold CEO whose car she accidentally scratched. She paid 50,000 yuan—and instantly got 500,000 back. She was all in. The system assigned three targets: Qi Xuanhe, a broke mixed-race celebrity; Chen Yu, the aloof heir; and Xie Chen, a gentle doctor. Armed with unlimited funds, Xiaofei went all out. She rescued Qi Xuanhe from starvation, booked an entire restaurant to humiliate her cheating ex, and forced the fake heiress to confess her affair in public. She invested 500 million in a variety show, revealed herself as the investor, and crushed her rival with dance moves. Then she discovered the truth: she was the real lost heiress of the Chen family. The woman who stole her life was the nanny's daughter. Desperate, the fake heiress tried to kill her—pushing her off a building. In the hospital, Xiaofei met Doctor Xie Chen. She helped him deal with his toxic mother and funded his research. She won his heart. Meanwhile, Chen Yu kept his distance due to an old family grudge. Xiaofei risked her life to clear her father's name and took a blow meant for him. He finally opened his heart. She also spent millions boosting Qi Xuanhe's career—flying in overseas fans, topping charts—turning him into an A-list star who fell for her completely. In the end, Xiaofei won all three men. Three times the 100x cashback. From a nobody to the richest person in the world. The fake heiress, the cheating ex, and the evil mother all got what they deserved.
