The New Tycoon Conquers Every Business
Marcus stands outside Luminaire, an upscale restaurant he can't afford, holding a bouquet of discount flowers. Inside, his girlfriend of three years, Vanessa Chen, sits across from Derek Hastings, the same trust-fund brat who made Marcus's high school years hell. Derek's family owns Hastings Luxury Automotives, a multi-billion dollar empire.
Vanessa doesn't even have the decency to look guilty. She hands Marcus back the promise ring he bought with two months' salary and says coldly: "I need someone with ambition, Marcus. Not someone who's going to be broke forever."
Derek smirks, dropping his platinum card on the table. "No hard feelings, delivery boy. Some men are just born winners."
Humiliated, Marcus walks twelve miles home in the rain because he can't afford the bus. He collapses on his mattress in their cramped apartment—his mother Diane wheezing in the next room from untreated asthma, his father Raymond still out working his third shift, and his 16-year-old sister Zoe studying by flashlight because the electricity's been cut again.
That night, half-delirious with fever and rage, Marcus whispers: "I'd give anything to change this."

Adrian Carter's Silent Dominance
Adrian had planned the perfect anniversary dinner—Vanessa’s favorite dishes, a warm, quiet home, and even time for their daughter, Lily.
But as the clock neared midnight, his excitement turned into a hollow silence. Vanessa stumbled in, drunk and careless, not even noticing the effort he had put in. She tossed her purse on the couch, waved him off, and mocked his calls.
“Can you stop calling me all the time? I was at a banquet, making connections, actually contributing to this family,” she snapped, her words dripping with contempt.
Adrian stayed calm, trying to remind her of the night’s significance. But Vanessa scoffed, mocking the anniversary, humiliating him further. “Everyone asked why I didn’t bring a male companion. I wanted to sink into the floor. Imagine saying, ‘My husband is home babysitting a kid.’ I’d rather say my goldfish ran away!”
She continued, bitter and harsh: “If I didn’t get pregnant, I’d never have married you. Lily slows me down, and you… you slow me down the most.”
Adrian, silent but composed, finally spoke: “Let’s get a divorce.” Vanessa erupted in rage, smashing the dinner he had prepared, shattering more than just plates. In that moment, Adrian walked away, leaving the chaos behind.

Van Gogh, Don't Cut Off Your Ear! Your Top Trader Is Here
Takumi Asano, a painter from Kyoto, Japan, had copied tens of thousands of Vincent van Gogh's oil paintings. One day, he traveled through time to Arles, a small town in Provence, France, just before Christmas in 1888.
It could be said to be time travel, or rather, arriving in a parallel universe.
There, he became Marcel Duval, a 20-year-old local "chimney boy".
Right in front of him unfolded one of the most famous tragedies in art history: the impoverished and down-and-out Van Gogh, holding a razor, was pointing it at his left ear!
— "Mr. Van Gogh! Put down the razor!"
— "Tell Armand... I'll cut off my ear and give it to him right away!" Was there actually an untold secret behind Van Gogh's ear-severing incident?
— "Keep it, and it will bring you more and greater works!"
— "You're absolutely crazy! Who are you?"
— "I'm your top-tier manager!"
Years later, the Parisian art circle had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Van Gogh, who had grown into a great master, no longer had darkness in his eyes: "Marcel, it really was a good idea to keep my ear. Without you, none of this would have been possible!"
Takumi Asano, once a lowly copyist trapped in drudgery, had now become Marcel, the world's "Godfather of Art".
He smiled and raised his glass: "Come to my Provence manor this summer. I've planted a vast sunflower field—tens of thousands of mu—just for you... By the way, would you like to see my new paintings?"
