In the southern part of Jiang City, above a two-story mansion, a mesmerizing blue light floated outside the window of the first floor.
The light elegantly glided into the mansion, traveling through the room and eventually settling upon a teenage boy with jet-black hair and piercing black eyes, who was struggling to breathe in his sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed, clutching his shirt as if he was trying to escape from something.
Suddenly, the blue light flashed into the room and slithered inside the boy's open mouth. He swallowed the light, and it sparkled brilliantly inside him, showing its trajectory through his throat, then down into his lungs, finally settling in his heart. Miraculously, the boy's ragged breathing calmed down, and he awoke from his slumber.
As he rose from his bed, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. Though different from his own, the room felt strangely familiar. As he stood, his bedsheet clung to his legs before slipping down to the floor. He tried to take a step forward but lost his balance and fell back onto his bed.
"What's happening? Why can't I walk properly? This body feels different," he thought.
He glanced at his arms and noticed they were chubby and plump. Suddenly, a sharp pain surged through his brain, and he fell back onto the bed, clutching his head.
Twelve hours later, the boy awoke, and all of his memories came flooding back to him.
"I've transmigrated. My name is Zhang Wei, and I am the son of a wealthy media tycoon. I was once engaged to the daughter of a famous conglomerate, but she broke off the engagement and cancelled all arrangements. I tried to take my own life by eating expired medicine," he muttered to himself.
Zhang Wei was stunned, unable to believe what had happened to him.
"Although my name is the same, everything else is different. Despite being the son of a wealthy businessman, my father is cold and greedy, and only cares about his profits. Moreover, I am the product of an extramarital affair with my father's maid, so my standing in the house is low, just like that of a servant. I also suffer from a disease that results in obesity, even though I eat normally or less," he sighed.
Zhang Wei got up from his bed, still struggling to walk properly, but he eventually got the hang of it after a few minutes.
"It's as if I'm learning to walk all over again," he thought.
He walked towards the corner of the room and stood in front of a full-length mirror. He was tall, standing at 183 cm, and had striking black hair and eyes. However, the most notable feature of his appearance was his bulging belly, which made him look as if he were a few months pregnant.
"I can't believe I have to live with this obesity," he mused.
Zhang Wei then sat upon his bed and thought about what he needed to do next. He had become the son of a wealthy businessman, but he couldn't live his life with his current body size. Suddenly, he remembered that people who transmigrate often receive a system to help them navigate their new world.
"Could it be that I will receive a system too?" he wondered.
As if the heavens had heard his question, the familiar sound from novels echoed in his head.
(Ding!! System Binding)
(Established successfully, system working mode on!!)
(Congratulations Host for transmigrating successfully, I am your Money Empire System!)
"It really appeared," Zhang Wei exclaimed, astonished by the unexpected turn of events.
