"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.

Vanessa shot him a glare, her toothbrush still in her mouth. "Mmffhmm!"

Ethan tilted his head, pretending to ponder. "What's that? You're saying you like sleeping in my bed?"

Vanessa turned, grabbed a small cup of water, and splashed it directly at his face.

Ethan spluttered, blinking as water dripped down his cheeks. "Really?"

She smirked. "Oops. My hand slipped."

He wiped his face with his forearm, muttering something about payback.

But despite his words, there was nothing but amusement in his eyes.

They finished brushing their teeth, Ethan occasionally bumping his shoulder against hers just to mess with her.

Vanessa sighed, staring at her reflection in the mirror.

Her hair was an absolute mess, her face still slightly flushed from the earlier encounter.
