Chapter 1
“Excuse me! Excuse me!”A man pushed his way through the crowd of graduates filling the University of Stockholm courtyard this afternoon. He paid no attention whatsoever to the scornful glances and sharp remarks from the people he passed.Peter glanced at the small gift in his hand and smiled broadly. Today, he was going to propose to his girlfriend, Clara. He had spent most of his savings to buy that gift.Peter had been dating Clara for a year. She was incredibly beautiful, kind, and willing to accept all his flaws. His difficult days seemed to vanish every time he saw Clara’s smile.Graduating at the top of his class and landing a job at a company in the capital had convinced him that he could make her happy.Peter stopped to survey his surroundings. While he was busy looking for Clara, his gaze suddenly fell on a large crowd by the lake.“You two are a perfect match!”“I’m so jealous!”Those shouts instantly caught Peter’s attention for a moment. His feet were about to carry him t

People were once again laughing at and mocking Peter. In fact, Peter was the most handsome man in the crowd—indeed, the most handsome in the whole university. However, good looks without money or status were of no use. What is there to be proud of in a poor man?Peter immediately looked away as Clara and Simon kissed again. How unfortunate—he felt his face burning so fiercely that tears threatened to spill from his eyes. Every moment he’d shared with Clara had become a sharp thorn tearing him apart from within. He tried to convince himself that it was all just a game. Yet, seeing how tenderly Clara and Simon kissed made him certain that it was all real. Peter suddenly felt numb. He couldn’t say a word, as if a huge thorn were lodged in his throat. His legs felt so weak that he nearly fell over several times. His beautiful hopes had ended in disappointment and humiliation. The woman he had always praised for her beauty and kindness turned out to be nothing more than a common, chea

A golden-red light suddenly enveloped Peter’s body, healing all his wounds. The old book knocked over the cupboard and the books surrounding Peter, then circled the man’s body before finally landing on his chest. As the room grew dim once more, the rain began to pour down heavily. The wind blew fiercely, whipping tree branches against the window and creating a clattering sound. Raindrops seeped through a hole in the warehouse roof, falling onto Peter’s face. Peter began to blink, coming round. He rubbed his head repeatedly, taking in his surroundings. “Where am I?” Peter jumped in surprise at the dim light. He felt around him, touching some books nearby. Peter turned towards the window. When a thunderclap rang out so loudly that the room was suddenly lit up, a series of events instantly flashed through his mind. “I intended to propose to Clara today, but she was actually having an affair with Simon. No, that madwoman has been playing me all this time. Out of anger, I hit Simon

Peter arrived at the bank half an hour later. He didn’t care at all that he was soaking wet and his clothes were dirty. A staff member looked at him with annoyance and disdain, but the woman kept up her fake smile. “How can I help you, sir?” “I want to withdraw five hundred thousand dollars from my account,” said Peter. The staff member was startled, repeatedly glancing at Peter’s appearance. She took his card, checked the account, and froze in place upon seeing the string of numbers on the computer screen. The staff member immediately contacted her supervisor. Her cold smile turned into a warm, polite one. “Please forgive my rudeness just now, sir. Please follow me. I’ll take you to our priority customer lounge.”“Priority customer?” Peter said. The staff member nodded. “I have a hundred billion dollars in my account. Of course I’m a priority client at this bank.” Peter followed the woman. “I’m not surprised she suddenly became so polite to me.”Peter entered a very spacious r

Sonic glanced at the crowd around him. He felt he had plenty of allies to further humiliate Peter. Sonic laughed as he took in Peter’s appearance for the umpteenth time. “No one would believe you’re the bank’s highest-level priority customer. Only a fool would believe you’re a five-star priority customer.” The other customers nodded in agreement. “The main requirement to be the highest-level priority customer at this bank is to have at least five hundred million dollars in your bank account.” Sonic pointed at Peter’s face. “I’m not sure someone like you even has five thousand dollars in your account, let alone the fact that you’re just a low-paid food delivery guy. If you want to brag, you still have to use your brain.”One man in the crowd said, “Even the richest person in this city rarely becomes a top-tier priority customer.”“Goodness, that guy must be crazy!”“He must have hit his head on something so he can’t think straight!”“He’s a pathetic liar!”“I know daydreaming doesn

“Let me go, you bastard!” Sonic brushed off his suit, glaring at Peter. “You promised to run around this building naked if I turned out to be a five-star priority customer,” said Peter. “W-what do you mean, you bastard?” Sonic looked away. “If you keep your promise, I’ll drop all my charges. If you refuse, I’ll still report you to the police.”“I-I never said I’d run around this building naked.”“I recorded everything you said.” Peter held up his phone and played the recording of Sonic’s words. Sonic gaped at the recording of his own voice. “That’s an AI recording. I never said that.”“If you still don’t believe me, we can check the CCTV.”“No!” Sonic screamed hysterically, “I-I never said that stupid thing! I also... I’d better get out of this damn place!”Sonic rushed off. “Didn’t you want to borrow money using the deed to one of your family’s houses as collateral, Sonic? You… took that deed from your father’s safe.”Sonic immediately turned around, staring at Peter in disbelie

Cindy rubbed her eyes and shook her head repeatedly. “He... is indeed Peter. But how could he possibly be in that room right now?”Cindy pinched her arm repeatedly. “This isn’t a dream, and that man really is Peter. What on earth is going on?”Cindy watched as the staff entered the room carrying shopping bags. “The staff are treating Peter very well. They’re also placing the bags near him.”“Oh my God, what is going on?” Cindy stomped her foot. “How could Peter be… I can’t believe this. But that man really is Peter.”“What are you doing, ma’am?” asked a staff member, “You’ve been standing here for quite a while. Are you spying on our VVIP customer?”“VVIP customer? Do you mean that man?”The staff member nodded. “Please don’t stand there, ma’am. You might make our VVIP guest uncomfortable.”Cindy sat down in a chair, continuing to watch as the staff came and went from the room. She checked the messages on her phone, massaging her head, which had suddenly started to ache. “Clara said

One by one, cars drove through the university’s main gate. A few people could be seen walking along the sidewalk. Bright lights adorned every corner of the street, creating a sea of light. Rows of round tables were neatly arranged in the front yard. The sound of music and singing drifted down from the stage. People began to fill the event venue, chatting and taking photos. Cindy sat in a chair. A glass of drink was in her hand. The sweetness of the drink couldn’t erase the frown on her face. “Oh my God, my boyfriend really broke up with me. He also beat up his cousin until he was a bloody mess.”Cindy watched the people passing by nearby. “I never thought Peter would see me going to the hotel with....”“Oh my gosh, I really want to scream right now.” Cindy let out a long sigh, growing even more annoyed as the drink spilled onto her dress. “I was supposed to be wearing the latest dress right now, but because of what happened earlier, all my plans fell through. I also didn’t have tim
