On their wedding night, she gnashed her teeth, yelling, “Your Highness, that’s shameless!”

Set off by the flickering light of red candles, he curved the corner of his mouth into a wicked grin, “Actually, I can be more shameless…”

…

When they met for the first time, he was the young prince who lived in his day of brilliance, while she was the pampered princess of the adjacent state.

When they met again, he became the crippled underdog suffering from frustration, while she became the lackluster hostage stranded in an alien land.

In his mid-life, he was defeated in the fight and had his legs broken; his wife passed away and he didn’t have anything left except his father’s detestation… After constant blows took the edge off his spirit, all he wanted was nothing but serenity.

In her teen-age, her state perished and her home lost; she lapsed into an awkward situation after being abandoned and having her marriage annulled… As endless hardships isolated her from happiness, everything she wished for was no more than peace.

…

“Lu Zhishan, when I first met you, I didn’t think I’d marry you…too old,” after years passed by, one day, she lay on his laps mumbling, with a kind of hazy beauty on her boozy face, “and lame.”

“Mu Nanzhi, you have the wrong memory. At our first meeting, I’m neither old nor limp.”

“…When was that?”

“When people were celebrating your first birthday,” that man assumed all gentleness and joy crept on his eyes and brows, “On that day, you were ‘drawing lots’ in the rear hall. I also sneaked there to have a look. But, out of my expectation, you directly grabbed my true-love knot.”

…

How vivid the red love pea is embedded in the exquisitely carved dice,

Just as my feelings for you deep in my bones.

Warning- [Contains Mature content and themes such as BULLYING, GORE, REVENGE, RUTHLESS AND MERCILESS MC] [Contains lemons as well as onions!]By the end of 2025, humanity made first contact with extraterrestrial beings. A century later, in 2125, the world had transformed beyond recognition. With the aid of alien technologies and interactions with various space-faring species, humans expanded their reach to other planets and galaxies. Advanced sciences, indistinguishable from magic, genetic mutations, and cybernetic enhancements propelled humanity to new heights. Humans were no longer the weak, powerless beings they once were; they had evolved into one of the dominant species in the cosmos.Xavier, a young nomad from a small village, had received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Astraeus Academy on Earth. Although he was reluctant to leave his family behind, he enrolled in the academy upon his father's insistence. His ancestors had made a significant investment in Astraeus City—when it wasn’t even planned and constructed—which was the most powerful and luxurious metropolis that many dreamed of living in but few could even visit.However, things didn’t go as planned. Those with power and blinded by greed had taken over everything, and there was no sign of his ancestors' investment.In this new world, money was everything. It could buy anything and everything. Morals held no value against the almighty dollar. A father would sell his son for money, and a mother would kill her daughter for it. Oh, you can’t pay the 1 million dollar loan? No worries! Just rent your wife for a week and the loan is paid! What, you killed someone? No problem! Just pay 10 million dollars and walk free!Determined to reclaim what was his, Xavier decided to enroll in Astraeus Academy and claim the throne of power that rightfully belonged to him. But most humans had undergone genetic enhancements and cybernetic modifications, making them far stronger than ordinary humans. Xavier, however, was just a normal human, and due to his innate disorder, his body couldn’t support cybernetic enhancements.Xavier was bullied and thrashed every day, called names, framed and accused, and even worse, there were attempts on his life. Just when he thought his life was over, a voice called out to him—a voice that some might presume belonged to a goddess. The goddess gave him a system… an unlimited money system.In a world where money was everything, how would Xavier survive? But with an unlimited money system, who could stop him?“I need a house.”[Just buy it.]“I want a car.”[Steal it.]“I am looking for something ancient that’s not available anywhere on the planet.”[Unlock the Dimensional Store and get it.]“I am bleeding.”[Get the divine grade healing potion.]“I… want a girlfriend…”[Starting a quest to seduce your bully’s girlfriend! Step 1: Gift her flowers!]Follow Xavier in his journey to not only become the universe's richest, but also the most strongest.Spoiler/Tags- Genius MC, Smart MC, Ruthless MC, Merciless MC, Anti-Hero, Handsome MC, Gore, Bullying, Rich MC, Harem, R-18, smut, echhi, Student-teacher relationship, Senior-junior relationship, cousin relationship, milfs,poor to rich, weak to strong, System, Super rich, beautiful female leads, alien waifus, monster (vampire/dragon etc etc) waifus, Dimensional Store, Mafia, gangs, guns, cars, cyberpunk, futuristic, space, interstellar, aliens, action, Conquor, Domination, VR, spaceships, NO YURI.
