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

ays passed since the subtle confrontation between Zhao Feng and Su Mei, but the tension lingered. Despite the warning, Su Mei's curiosity had only grown. Every unanswered question became a spark, fueling her determination.

But Zhao Feng knew how to play the game. The next move had to be hers.

Late in the afternoon, Zhao Feng returned to his penthouse. Just as he poured himself a glass of wine, the doorbell rang. A deliveryman stood outside, holding an elegant black envelope embossed with gold.

"From Miss Su Mei," the man said with a polite bow.

Zhao Feng accepted the envelope, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint smile.

Inside was a sleek card, its design reflecting Su Mei's refined taste.

You enjoy the shadows, Mr. Zhao.

But even shadows must step into the light sometimes.

Friday, 7 PM — Azure Pearl Manor

A direct challenge. She wasn't done probing, and now she wanted to face him in her domain.

"Su Mei," Zhao Feng murmured, fingers tracing the card. "Let's see how far you're willing to go."

[Event Triggered: Private Gathering at Azure Pearl Manor]

The Evening at Azure Pearl Manor

Friday arrived swiftly. The Azure Pearl Manor was a lavish estate perched on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a sea of manicured gardens and marble fountains. Under the golden glow of chandeliers, the manor came alive with murmurs of the city's most powerful elites.

Zhao Feng, dressed in an impeccably tailored black suit, stepped out of his luxury sedan. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and aged wine, a reflection of the wealth within.

"Mr. Zhao," the butler greeted, bowing respectfully. "Miss Su Mei is expecting you."

He followed the servant through the grand corridors until they reached an open terrace. There, beneath the silver moonlight, stood Su Mei. Her silk evening gown shimmered with each subtle movement, her elegance effortlessly captivating.

"Mr. Zhao," she greeted, her voice smooth yet laced with intrigue. "You accepted my invitation."

"As you said," Zhao Feng replied, a faint smile tugging at his lips, "even shadows must step into the light."

They moved through the gathering, exchanging pleasantries with other guests. Su Mei made a point to introduce Zhao Feng to influential figures — CEOs, investors, and rising politicians. While the conversations remained polite, Zhao Feng noticed the unspoken curiosity behind their eyes.

"You're making quite the impression," Su Mei remarked, her voice low.

"Perhaps that was your intention," Zhao Feng countered, sipping his wine.

She smiled. "I wanted to see how well you navigate the light."

"You're far too composed for a man with no secrets."

Zhao Feng chuckled softly. "Perhaps I'm simply good at keeping them."

As the night drew to a close, Su Mei led Zhao Feng to a secluded balcony overlooking the city lights. The air between them was thick with unspoken tension.

"You're not an easy man to figure out, Zhao Feng," Su Mei said softly.

"Maybe you're just asking the wrong questions."

She smiled, though the curiosity in her eyes remained. "And what would be the right question?"

Zhao Feng's gaze held hers. "Why do you want to know so badly?"

For a moment, she said nothing. Then, with a soft laugh, she stepped closer.

"Perhaps I'll find out soon enough."

The game was far from over. But now, Su Mei wasn't just seeking answers. She was becoming entangled in Zhao Feng's world — one step at a time.
