From Simp to Sigma: Rich, Single, and Desired

Episode 1

Cody Lawson has spent three years chasing Selene Zeller, and one brutal conversation ends it. She tells him they're just friends and that what she does with Zhao Jun is none of his business. Cody agrees—then swears off being a simp for good.

That vow is barely out of his mouth when a system activates: a massive "simp money" fortune, with a first payment of one million. The catch? He has to spend it within a day and earn favor from beautiful women.

Cody tests it by spending on himself, and a campus beauty's favorability ticks up anyway. His conclusion is sharp: money is meant to be seen, not spent on them.

Episode 2

Selene and Zhang Yan can't process what they're seeing. Cody, the guy they wrote off as a broke simp, is suddenly wearing head-to-toe luxury—and he doesn't flinch at the price of a fifty-thousand watch.

When Selene sneers that he can't possibly afford it, the payment goes through. Her favorability jumps, and she's left sputtering.

Cody doesn't gloat. He turns to Ling Wu, offers to cover a beauty treatment as thanks for her help with his styling, and walks off.

The women scramble to make sense of it. Zhang Yan pushes Selene to find out the truth, while Selene's own favorability climbs—even as Cody stops chasing her entirely.

Episode 3

At the salon, Cody doesn't blink at the top-tier membership package—he pays for the most expensive one without a word. Selene and Zhang Yan watch, stunned.

Zhao Jun, meanwhile, keeps making excuses about his father limiting his spending, and Selene starts to feel the difference. Cody explains his logic simply: he repays kindness, drop by drop.

His favorability with Ling Wu and Selene keeps rising. Selene, unsettled, can't shake the feeling that something has shifted—the man who once obeyed her every whim now barely looks her way.

Cody's takeaway is blunt: instead of groveling for someone else, build yourself up and let them come to you.

Episode 4

Cody invites Ling Wu to dinner at a pricey seafood restaurant. She hesitates at the cost, but he insists on treating her, and she thanks him genuinely for the evening. She even asks to add him on WeChat, a first for her.

Across town, Selene's day with Zhao Jun curdles. He pushes for a private cinema; she says she's tired and wants to go back to school. He snaps, calls her out for spending his money all day, and leaves her stranded.

Selene is shaken. The old Cody would have forgiven her anything.

Later, she finds Cody still nearby and demands to know why he was out with Ling Wu—and what the two of them are to each other.

Episode 5

Cody doesn't owe Selene an explanation, and he says so. She insists he's changed, that he used to be different. His answer: he's changed because he finally started thinking.

She admits she hurt him by spending her birthday with Zhao Jun, then flips it—he hid his money from her, so aren't they even? She proposes they forgive each other and start over, hinting she'll consider being his girlfriend.

Cody isn't buying it. He points out the imbalance: he showered her with gifts and got nothing back.

Then Selene spots a bag she wants and asks him to buy it. His response is pure disbelief.

Episode 6

Selene can't believe Cody refuses to buy her the bag—especially after she spent the day with another man. She threatens to never speak to him again, and the system warns him her favorability just dropped.

Cody doesn't care. He's done being the guy who apologizes for existing.

Instead, he goes on a spree for himself—computer, phone, tablet—and discovers that spending on himself feels amazing. The first million is spent, the task completes, and he earns a cash reward plus a lottery draw.

The prize boosts his health and stamina, and a second, bigger task arrives: spend ten million in three days and win fifty favorability points.

Episode 7

Cody realizes he needs favor from the campus's top beauties, and Selene is a dead end. His next target: Qin Bingqing, the finance department beauty.

Meanwhile, Selene learns from Zhang Yan just how much Cody spent in a single day—designer clothes, a bicycle, a watch, a backpack. She's furious, convinced he was secretly rich all along and just refused to spend on her.

Zhang Yan argues he's probably just a lucky upstart who'll burn through it, nothing compared to Zhao Jun. Selene isn't so sure—and she's not ready to let this windfall go.

At a car dealership, Cody walks in and asks if a car can be driven off the lot today.

Episode 8

At the dealership, Ling Wu and Qin Bingqing size Cody up—the notorious simp who chased Selene for three years, now acting like a big spender. Qin Bingqing gently tries to talk him out of some heartbreak spending.

Cody stays calm and asks again whether the car can be driven away today. Ling Wu needles him, doubting he can afford it, and he turns it into a bet: if he really buys it, what will she give him?

She jokes she'll marry her best friend off to him. He agrees to the terms and pays. The transaction clears, and the room goes quiet.

Episode 9

The payment goes through, and Ling Wu is stunned. She tries to laugh off her bet, and Qin Bingqing steps in to smooth things over, offering to treat Cody to a meal as an apology.

Cody isn't finished—he asks to buy a second car, a top-trim Mercedes G63. Both women's favorability climbs, and Qin Bingqing, who has never added a guy on WeChat, adds him.

She agrees to deliver the car and take him for a drive. Then Selene calls Cody, asking him to dinner as thanks—and mentions she's prepared a surprise for him.

Episode 10

Selene corners Cody in front of a crowd, demanding her roses and her bag—her "apology gift." Zhang Yan piles on, certain he's playing hard to get and will cave.

Cody doesn't cave. He tells Selene he has no feelings for her left and that he's surrounded by women who actually interest him—dismissing her bluntly.

The onlookers are sure he'll kneel and beg. He doesn't. Selene and Zhang Yan are left furious and humiliated, while Cody walks away without a backward glance.

Curious how Cody turns a broken heart into a spending spree—and who ends up chasing whom? Start watching and see it unfold.
