Qin Yi is shocked to learn he has inherited a ten-billion-dollar fortune from his granduncle, Shen Qingshan. This news coincides with his materialistic girlfriend, Zhou Wan Er, breaking up with him, claiming he's no longer good enough for her. Her parents support the divorce, offering him a million dollars as compensation. Qin Yi signs the divorce papers, unaware that his granduncle's will stipulates the heir must be single.
After the divorce, Qin Yi activates the 'Divorce Rise System.' His first mission: accept the ten-billion-dollar inheritance. Upon completion, he gains Wei Xinghuai, his granduncle's top assistant, with 100% loyalty. Qin Yi becomes the chairman of Wanzhou Group, attracting the attention of Sun Mingjie, a major shareholder with ulterior motives. Qin Yi also faces the schemes of Zhang Yazhu, his granduncle's ex-wife, who plans to seize a larger share of the inheritance.
A system mission prompts Qin Yi to confront Zhang Yazhu, offering him 17% of Dome Security Group shares and the position of largest shareholder upon success. Zhang Yazhu, accompanied by bodyguards, attempts to intimidate Qin Yi into giving her half of Wanzhou Group shares. Qin Yi, with the help of his newly acquired Dome Security assets, subdues her bodyguards and warns her against further attempts.
Qin Yi attends a banquet where he encounters Zhou Wan Er, who is prevented from entering due to lack of an invitation. He also meets Zheng Hongxu, a rival from Vantone Group, who insults Qin Yi. Bai Qingyue, a former schoolmate and the daughter of the powerful Bai family, surprisingly shows support for Qin Yi, even offering to be his companion at the event.
Zheng Hongxu attempts to secure bodyguards from the elite Dome Group for a project in the Middle East, boasting about his connections. Qin Yi, secretly a major shareholder of Dome Group, effortlessly arranges the bodyguards, exposing Zheng Hongxu's lack of true influence. Qin Yi forces Zheng Hongxu to 'eat dirt' as a consequence of their bet, humiliating him in public.
Bai Qingyue informs Qin Yi about a live streaming agency for sale, which Zhou Wan Er is also interested in for her top anchor, Weiwei. Qin Yi receives a system mission to acquire the company and Weiwei, rewarding him with grandmaster-level fighting skills. He successfully acquires the company and secures Weiwei with a generous compensation package.
Zhou Wan Er and her father are disappointed that Weiwei renewed her contract elsewhere. They plan for Wan Er to pursue Han Chul-ho, a wealthy heir returning to China, to secure their company's future. Meanwhile, Bai Qingyue confesses her longtime affection for Qin Yi and proposes marriage, surprising him with her sincerity and bold nature.
Qin Yi and Bai Qingyue are attacked by assassins. Qin Yi, using his new grandmaster fighting skills, easily defeats them and deduces that Zhang Yazhu was behind the attack. He then confronts Zhang Yazhu at a 'Hongmen Banquet' set up by Wei Tianxiong, an underground leader. Qin Yi reveals his true power as the largest shareholder of Dome Group, leading to Wei Tianxiong's arrest and Zhang Yazhu's exile to a primitive African country.
Sun Mingjie and Yang Tai hatch a plan to oust Qin Yi from Wanzhou Group, believing they have enough shares and support. Meanwhile, Zhou Wan Er attempts to rent an office in a building Qin Yi secretly owns. Qin Yi prevents her from renting it, revealing his immense wealth and power to her dismay.
Qin Yi is tasked by the system to participate in a live streaming contest against Zhou Wan Er's company. He invests 200 million dollars in Weiwei's live stream, instructing her to prioritize sales over profit. Despite initial skepticism, Weiwei's stream achieves massive sales due to heavily discounted prices, leading her to win the contest and Qin Yi to gain 15% more shares in Wanzhou Group, giving him absolute control.
Sun Mingjie and Yang Tai convene a board meeting to remove Qin Yi as chairman. Qin Yi confronts them, revealing he has acquired enough shares to hold over 50% of Wanzhou Group. He dismantles their plan, fires them, and appoints Wei Xinghuai as Vice President, solidifying his control over the company.

Bai Qingyue moves into Qin Yi's neighborhood and reiterates her desire to marry him. His future father-in-law, Mr. Bai, supports their relationship, revealing that Qingyue has been in love with Qin Yi since he saved her from bullies in high school. Qin Yi, realizing the depth of her feelings, accepts her proposal.
Han Chul-ho launches a massive smear campaign against Qin Yi and Wanzhou Group, attempting to discredit them before a crucial bidding meeting. Despite the negative publicity, Qin Yi decides to proceed with the bid, accepting a system mission that promises evidence against Han Chul-ho.
At the bidding meeting, Han Chul-ho and Zhou Wan Er publicly accuse Qin Yi of various wrongdoings. Qin Yi, armed with compelling evidence provided by the system, exposes Han Chul-ho's illegal smear tactics and discredits Sun Mingjie. The Bai family publicly vouches for Qin Yi, ensuring his victory. Han Chul-ho is revealed to be a fake heir, and the Zhou family faces financial ruin and public humiliation, regretting their abandonment of Qin Yi.
