Stingy Means You Can Only Marry a Male Wife

As a struggling livestreamer, Song Hao decides to challenge himself to clear a pay-to-win imperial harem game with zero spending.

To boost his literary talent stat, he never goes on dates with the headmaster’s daughter—instead, he visits his buddy at the academy to write poetry.

To increase his martial arts stat, he never agrees to spar with the swordswoman—instead, he borrows martial arts manuals from his buddy’s house.

To save money, he never visits brothels or pleasure houses—instead, he freeloads food, drink, and lodging from his buddy.

Open the “public rumors” tab, and townsfolk say, “His literary skill and martial prowess are outstanding… though I hear he’s fond of the cut sleeve.”

Song Hao doesn’t care.

He knows that as long as he becomes emperor, the harem will be his—plenty big enough for everyone.

Finally, he achieves both literary brilliance and martial excellence, with clean sleeves and an empty purse.

The emperor recognizes him as his son, making him crown prince.

The grand wedding is soon to come.

The system prompts him to confirm his crown princess.

Condition: Affection above 100.

List of eligible candidates: Exactly one person—his dear buddy, Wen Qing.

Affection: 999.

999 isn’t Wen Qing’s limit—it’s the system’s cap.

The livestream chat explodes:

[Hahahahahahaha, I gotta laugh first.]
[The official’s been waiting for this expression from you.]
[Stingy means you can only marry a male wife!!!]
