(雨落繁华 · "The Rain That Built Prosperity")
In a city where rain never stops falling, sixteen-year-old Yurei Lin has learned to survive by becoming invisible.
Raised in a broken foster home on the forgotten edge of Linhua City, she's a ghost among the living - quiet, unnoticed, and unwanted. Her only companions are the whispering storms and the reflection in the rusted window that divides her from the glittering skyline she'll never reach.
But one storm changes everything.
When the Tycoon System awakens within her - a mysterious entity that transforms moral and emotional actions into wealth and power - Yurei's fate is rewritten. Each act of compassion, each stand against cruelty, earns her "Wealth Points" that can be traded for real-world influence, skills, and capital. Yet every moral failure costs her pieces of her heart.
From sharing a single bowl of rice to unraveling corruption inside the home that caged her, Yurei begins to rise - quietly, brilliantly, and dangerously.
Through tears and thunder, she learns that the path to riches isn't paved with greed, but with choice: the courage to give, forgive, and fight without losing herself.
Her world expands from the shadows of neglect to the corporate towers of Linhua's elite - where morality has a price, power seduces, and love arrives like sunlight through broken glass.
Guided by her growing connection with Li Shen, a young investor haunted by his own ghosts, Yurei discovers that wealth is not measured in currency, but in the ability to change lives.
By eighteen, she must complete her final quest:
"Build a world where others no longer suffer as you did."
Fail, and she loses everything - including the System that gave her purpose.
Haunting, poetic, and emotionally charged, The Tycoon System: Rise of Yurei Lin is a modern Chinese fantasy about rebirth, compassion, and the alchemy of pain into power.
It's the story of a girl who was never chosen...
until she chose herself.
Prologue - The Beginning
They said she was weak.
They said she was unwanted, unloved, unworthy.
But when Ji Yunxi opened her eyes in a body that wasn't her own, she learned the truth-
she was bound to a System.
A cruel, merciless voice whispered in her mind:
> [Complete your missions. Cross the worlds. Face slap the fakes.]
Every task seemed small. Protect a sibling. Pass an exam. Survive a night.
But with every world, the enemies grew sharper, the betrayals deeper, the battles deadlier.
Ji Yunxi, once a broken soul, became a storm cloaked in silk.
A woman who smiled coldly as her rivals choked on their own schemes.
And yet-
through every world, through every face slap, through every twist of fate-
he was always there.
The tyrant in the high school hallway.
The CEO in the glass tower.
The general on the battlefield.
The immortal above the clouds.
Everywhere she went, he found her.
Always stronger. Always watching. Always hers.
She only wanted to finish her missions.
But he only wanted one thing-
Her.
And in the end, when the final world comes, when her true mission is revealed...
she will have to decide:
Will she walk away, or will she finally admit that across a thousand worlds, his obsession became her fate?
