Dumped by his gold-digging girlfriend Li Yuqing for being “too poor” and having no future prospects, ordinary office worker Liang Xi hits rock bottom emotionally and financially—until he accidentally activates the mysterious [Regret Degree System], gaining access to unlimited “Regret Gold” that he can only spend specifically to make shallow, materialistic people regret their poor life choices.
Now armed with this incredible power, he’s turning the tables on everyone who looked down on him: Splurging on luxury cars, designer clothes, and million-dollar villas right in front of his ex-girlfriend, making her question every single life decision she’s ever made. Humbling green tea girls and spoiled rich beauties who once treated him like dirt and dismissed him as worthless. Converting their mounting regret and despair into real tangible power—the more they suffer from their choices, the wealthier and more influential he becomes.
This becomes the ultimate revenge fantasy come to life, but as Liang Xi discovers, true fulfillment isn’t bought with money—it’s built through genuine relationships and personal growth. But as his wealth and social status skyrocket beyond imagination, he faces a troubling new dilemma that threatens his very soul: Is he healing from his past trauma and becoming a better person… or is he slowly becoming the very monster he once despised?
With unlimited funds at his disposal and the power to humble anyone who crosses him, Liang Xi must navigate the dangerous waters between justified revenge and becoming consumed by his own power.
