Synopsis
A sudden loss of spiritual cultivation, a vanished mountain home, and the disappearance of a hidden gold hoard leave Ji Qingwei in a desperate financial predicament. To reclaim his lost wealth and return to a life of luxury, he pivots toward the entertainment industry, leveraging his charm to attract both fame and fortune. This pursuit of capital takes an unexpected turn when it intersects with Luo Mingzhe, a powerful and aloof figure facing a terminal diagnosis. Discovering that financial investment in the rising starlet directly extends his own lifespan, Luo Mingzhe transforms into a devoted, obsessive supporter. The story evolves into a high-stakes competition as other wealthy and influential figures—ranging from financial moguls to world-renowned gamers—realize that spending money on Ji Qingwei is the only way to purchase more time on earth. The tone remains light and indulgent, focusing on the absurdity of luxury and the sweetness of obsessive devotion. Those seeking a low-stress experience filled with extravagance will find it rewarding, while those desiring gritty realism may find the premise too whimsical.

Editorial Review
The novel succeeds in creating a tight, focused loop of motivation where the protagonists' needs perfectly align. The concept of monetizing life expectancy through idol worship provides a clever hook that drives the plot forward without needing overly complex world-building. With a completed length of 99 chapters, the story avoids the common pitfall of excessive bloating, delivering a satisfying conclusion within a reasonable timeframe. However, the reliance on a wish-fulfillment style means the conflict is often superficial, lacking significant emotional weight or genuine tension. The supporting cast of wealthy suitors serves more as plot devices to escalate the absurdity than as fully realized characters. Despite this lack of depth in the secondary roles, the central dynamic between the two leads is charming and consistently sweet. It functions well as a lighthearted diversion, though it offers little in the way of thematic complexity or significant character growth.
