The most ordinary experiences in Jiang Wangshu’s life were striking it rich and running into bad luck. Never did she expect to one day transmigrate into a modern cultivation world, only to find herself caught in an emotional dilemma where she had to save one of two people. With a thunderous crash from the sky, the money-burning system made its dazzling debut: “Esteemed host, your humble servant has arrived late.” When facing deep-sea demons, the money-burning system declared, “No one will harm my esteemed host!
