Story Guide
Episode 1
Cole Preston's girlfriend, Gu Qingyue, ends things on his birthday—with a cheap cake as her excuse. She tells him she's found someone new and that a college graduate like her won't stay with a delivery worker. Cole reminds her he funded her tuition and living costs, working himself to the bone, but she calls it mutual and tells him he's only fit to deliver packages forever.
Then something strange happens: a system detects his resentment and hunger for wealth, binding to him as the LadyAid System. At a shop, he runs into high school classmate Chen Yuxin, whose phone is dead. He covers her small purchase—and the system rewards him far more than he spent.
Episode 2
Cole realizes the system is real: helping women pays back generously, and the more he gives, the bigger the return. When Chen Yuxin thanks him, a smug couple interrupts—her cousin Zhao Kai and his girlfriend, who shows off a brand-new top-tier phone and mocks Cole as just a courier who'd need months in the rain to afford one.
Zhao Kai piles on, sneering that Cole is broke and reaching above his station. Instead of backing down, Cole calmly offers to buy Chen Yuxin a phone of her own and lets her pick the color, turning their mockery back on them.
Episode 3
Zhao Kai and his girlfriend dare Cole to prove he can actually pay. At the store, the latest phone costs 18,000 yuan. Cole doesn't blink—he declines the discount and swipes his card, telling Chen Yuxin it's simply a gift from an old classmate.
Chen Yuxin protests that it's far too expensive, but the purchase triggers a system payout of 18 million yuan. Zhao Kai's girlfriend is stunned that Cole outdid her own phone, while Zhao Kai insists he's still just a broke show-off. Their needling only pushes Cole further—he decides to buy Chen Yuxin a bag next.
Episode 4
Chen Yuxin insists she can't accept more and can't repay him, but Cole waves it off, saying she owes nothing. Zhao Kai keeps taunting, certain Cole will humiliate himself. At the bag shop, the clerk presents the newest model—350,000 yuan.
Chen Yuxin balks at the price, but Cole tells her someone as beautiful as her deserves an expensive bag, and hands over his card. Zhao Kai and his girlfriend scoff, convinced the card will be declined and that Cole is only pretending. The clerk runs the payment—leaving everyone waiting to see if it clears.
Episode 5
The card clears. Cole really buys Chen Yuxin the 350,000-yuan bag. The stunned clerk even hands him a membership card with a 50,000-yuan voucher. The system rewards him for helping Chen Yuxin stand up to the mockery—with a globally limited-edition sports car, already waiting nearby.
Chen Yuxin is overwhelmed, unsure how to repay him; Cole just tells her to keep it since she likes it. Zhao Kai and his girlfriend scramble for excuses, insisting Cole must have drained his savings or taken out loans. When Cole offers a ride home, Zhao Kai sneers about his delivery tricycle.
Episode 6
Zhao Kai keeps mocking, claiming Cole emptied his savings and took out loans just to impress a girl. He taunts that if Cole truly had money, he'd trade his tricycle for a real car—then spots a car nearby and laughs that Cole couldn't afford a single wheel.
Cole reveals the car is his. Zhao Kai refuses to believe it, insisting it must be rented, and swears he'd kneel and call Cole "dad" if it were real. Cole doesn't bother proving anything—he simply tells them to stop bothering him, then drives Chen Yuxin home.
Episode 7
Chen Yuxin's mother pressures her about a blind date, and Chen Yuxin blurts out that she has a boyfriend: Cole. To prove it, her mother demands they kiss on the spot—and they do. Convinced, her mother leaves them alone.
The system registers that Cole helped Chen Yuxin escape the marriage pressure, and because he put himself on the line, it triggers a critical bonus: a villa at Tangzhong Yipin No. 1. Cole is floored that the reward could work this way—just as someone quietly watches the whole scene unfold.
Episode 8
The onlooker turns out to be Fang Ni, Chen Yuxin's best friend, who teases her for secretly finding a boyfriend after they agreed to stay single together. Fang Ni recognizes the 350,000-yuan bag and is amazed by Cole's generosity, calling him a rare catch.
Chen Yuxin admits they aren't even really a couple, but Fang Ni is undeterred. She introduces herself, and Cole, grateful, gives her one of his 50,000-yuan vouchers. Fang Ni is thrilled and promises to keep him updated on Chen Yuxin—then Cole heads off, leaving the two friends buzzing about where Chen Yuxin found such a wealthy, generous man.
Episode 9
Cole arrives at the legendary No. 1 villa at Tangzhong Yipin, stunned by its luxury—the chandeliers, the mahogany furniture, the sheer scale. A private butler, Su Wan, introduces herself and attends to his every need, preparing a bath and promising to serve him.
Chen Yuxin calls: her work badge is in his car. She offers to pick it up with Fang Ni, and Cole sends his address. Fang Ni marvels that only the rich and powerful could ever live in such a villa—No. 1 especially, which money alone can't buy. Then a familiar voice interrupts: Gu Qingyue, spotting Cole.
Episode 10
Gu Qingyue accuses Cole of stalking her, sneering that a delivery worker like him was never on her level. Cole fires back that he never chased her—and calls her out for her arrogance. Her new boyfriend offers him money to stay away.
Cole refuses, asking why he'd chase someone he no longer wants. Gu Qingyue erupts, insulting him as a broke nobody and claiming no woman would ever look at him if not for her pity. Cole's calm reply hints someone already does.
Watch how Cole turns every insult into his next fortune—start the binge and see the system pay off.
