Zhao Feng, a broke university dropout, spends years hopelessly chasing after his dream girl, the campus goddess Bai Xinyue, only to be humiliated and rejected. On the brink of despair, a mysterious app suddenly appears on his phone — The Simpverse System. With a jaw-dropping balance of 99 Trillion Simp Coins, Zhao Feng gains the ultimate power: the more he spends, the more rewards he reaps. Supercars, luxury mansions, rare collectibles — no expense is too great. As he splurges recklessly, he unlocks insane attributes, from superhuman charm to godlike business acumen.

But this game has no exit. Each coin spent tightens his fate — and every girl who once looked down on him now finds herself inexplicably drawn to his magnetic presence. Is it the money, or has Zhao Feng truly become irresistible?

Faced with temptation, jealousy, and unexpected love, Zhao Feng must decide: will he remain the ultimate simp, or rise as a self-made legend?

I Am the Billionaire King of Simpverse

The city was abuzz with the success of Celestial Motors' latest exhibition. Industry elites praised the luxurious concept cars, but Zhao Feng remained unimpressed. True power wasn't in flashy presentations — it was in ownership.

Back in his penthouse, Zhao Feng reviewed the financial reports delivered by Xiao Ling.

"Boss, Celestial Motors is facing internal disputes. Their sales numbers are declining, and their reliance on external investors is growing."

Zhao Feng's eyes gleamed. A weakened giant was the easiest to topple.

"Good. Begin purchasing shares through intermediaries. Keep our stake below the threshold for now. I want to control the board without them knowing who holds the strings."

Two days later, Zhao Feng's low-profile investments progressed smoothly. While competitors argued over market share, he accumulated silent power. But business wasn't his only concern.

At a secluded café tucked away from the bustling city streets, Zhao Feng enjoyed a rare moment of quiet. His low-key presence blended perfectly among the modest patrons. However, fate often refused to let him stay unnoticed.

He glanced up. Su Mei stood before him, her emerald eyes shimmering with amusement. She was dressed simply, in a white blouse and tailored pants, but her elegance was undeniable.

"What a coincidence," Zhao Feng said calmly, though he was well aware coincidences rarely existed in their world.

Su Mei smiled, her voice laced with curiosity. "Or perhaps not. I've been hearing whispers about a low-profile investor making waves. Thought I'd confirm it myself."

Zhao Feng's expression remained unreadable. "And what did you confirm?"

"That you're much more interesting than I first thought."

She took the seat opposite him, her gaze unwavering. Zhao Feng could sense it — she was probing, testing. Unlike others, Su Mei wasn't blinded by the façade he maintained.

"I hear Celestial Motors is facing quite the dilemma," Su Mei remarked casually, stirring her tea. "Investors are circling like vultures. Strange how some remain hidden, don't you think?"

Zhao Feng's lips curled slightly. "Business is a game of shadows. Some prefer to watch from the dark."

Su Mei's smile deepened. "Perhaps. But even shadows cast reflections. I'll be watching."

With that, she stood, leaving behind an air of intrigue. Zhao Feng watched her departure, his thoughts stirring. She was clever, far more perceptive than the average heiress.

But it didn't matter. No one would uncover his plans.

[Stealth Reputation +500]

By the end of the week, Zhao Feng's influence within Celestial Motors expanded. His acquired shares reached a significant threshold, yet no one suspected the true mastermind.

"Phase one is complete," Xiao Ling reported. "The board is divided. With a subtle push, we can gain control without ever revealing your identity."

Zhao Feng's gaze darkened. "Do it."

[Wealth +1 Billion]

No headlines. No media attention. Only silent control.

But as Zhao Feng's empire grew, so did the watchful eyes. And among them, Su Mei continued her quiet observation, waiting for the shadows to reveal their master.
