Killed by Her Thrift, Reborn for Revenge
Ever since I married Myra Cowan, I started living like a beggar despite making an annual salary of a million dollars.
She kept telling me, "We should hang in there for now, honey. Once we've saved enough money, we'll be able to live however we want without worrying about our financial situation."
My closet was stuffed with old suits bought ten years ago. My lunches were always sandwiches, which were nearing their expiry dates, bought from convenience stores.
My friends made fun of me for marrying a woman who was addicted to saving money. But my heart went out to Myra for suffering with me in life.
But when I was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer and needed money for a life-saving surgery, Myra broke down in tears and told me that all of our savings were kept in a fixed-term deposit.
Before I drew my last breath, I heard Myra telling her younger brother, Dwight Cowan, over the phone in a gentle tone, "I've already transferred you the down payment for your house."
When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Myra demands that I sell my gaming account in exchange for money.
The monitor shows a familiar login screen. Myra can be seen standing next to me.
"This account can be sold for 8,000 dollars. We can save three months' worth of expenses with this money!"
I just laugh in response.
In my previous life, I had done nothing but save money. In the end, all of my money became someone else's assets.
Why the hell should I save money in this life?
With just one click on the mouse, I reload a million dollars into the game right away.
Immediately, a reddish-golden meteor shower covers the skies of the entire server. The system makes an announcement in a bold, enlarged font that gets repeated for a long time.
"Player 'Void' spares no expense, inviting fair maidens from across the realms to forge a destined bond! Those who are interested are welcome to attend the Celestial Lake Gathering. A bride price of one million awaits—offered in exchange for a single, sincere heart."
