"The world’s not fair, but fairness doesn’t pay the bills. You don’t wait for a handout — you build your own damn ladder, one step at a time."
Ethan Grey’s life was built on ambition, hard work, and hope — until a single accusation destroyed it all. 
Framed by his ruthless boss, Ethan loses his job, his reputation, and is left drowning in half a million dollars of debt. 
Cast aside by a society that thrives on crushing the weak, he’s at rock bottom with no way out.  
But in his darkest moment, something extraordinary happens. A mysterious system awakens, offering Ethan a second chance — but with rules. 
[Congratulations, You have awakened the Harem Investment System]
It can’t make him rich overnight, and it won’t give him shortcuts. Instead, it points him toward physical investments: crumbling properties, broken-down machines, and forgotten treasures. 
Each one is a gamble, but with every success, the system rewards him with newfound skills and opportunities.

She groaned, grabbing a pillow and shoving it against his chest.

Ethan laughed, catching her wrist before she could retreat.

Neither of them said anything for a moment.

Then Ethan exhaled, rubbing his other hand over his face. "I should head back soon."

She knew he needed to leave, but… she didn't want him to.

Her fingers instinctively tightened around his.

Ethan noticed. His brows lifted slightly in curiosity, but he didn't pull away.

Lila swallowed, then, before she could overthink it, she whispered, "You could… stay the night."

The room felt too quiet after she said it.
