"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.

Harem Investment System: Getting Money And Women

Ethan let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "Alright, alright. Get in."

Riley let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding and quickly made her way to the passenger side, slipping into the seat.

As Ethan started the car, she folded her arms and muttered, "I don't look that bad, do I?"

Ethan shot her a sideways glance, amusement still dancing in his eyes. "Sure, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

She sighed, sinking into the seat.

'This is fine. This is totally fine.'

Even if her face was still warm from embarrassment, at least she had secured another dinner with him. They just had to go to her house first.

As the car rolled down the quiet streets, the city lights flickering past the windows, Ethan stole a quick glance at Riley.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she kept fidgeting with the hem of her shirt, as if second-guessing her decision to ask him for dinner again.
