Synopsis
Ying Jiatong is a celebrity who possesses a unique system that grants him wealth in direct proportion to how much he spends. Despite his desperate attempts to live frugally and appear impoverished to the public, his net worth continues to skyrocket. He eventually crosses paths with Pei Qi'an, a wealthy heir who is also masquerading as a commoner in search of sincere love. This story reads like a classic 'hidden billionaire' trope mixed with a comedic system narrative, echoing the lighthearted irony found in romantic comedies. It is perfect for readers who enjoy fluffy, low-stakes BL stories with situational humor. Those seeking heavy drama or complex political intrigue should skip this title. The pacing is brisk and efficient, with the primary standout quality being the comedic tension arising from two rich men pretending to be poor while misunderstanding each other's motives.

Editorial Review
The novel's greatest strength lies in its central irony; the dual pretense of poverty between the two leads creates a consistent source of humor and romantic tension. The completed status is a significant plus, providing a definitive conclusion to the plot without the risk of abandonment. However, with only 108 chapters, the narrative feels somewhat slight. The plot relies heavily on a single comedic premise, which risks becoming repetitive if the character growth doesn't keep pace with the gags. While the 'system' element adds a modern webnovel flair, it serves more as a plot device than a complex mechanic. It is a straightforward, light read that delivers exactly what the premise promises without attempting to reinvent the genre, making it a safe but unremarkable addition to the library.
