The Penny Billionaire

About this drama

One thousand four hundred ninety-seven characters, a long machine-translated listing that breaks off mid-sentence, and this summary reads it through without copying its register. Ava Bennett was an ordinary server at a top-tier Los Angeles hotel, hardworking and frugal, who had stood by her boyfriend Tyler for three years. At an elite engagement gala she uncovers the betrayal, Tyler had long chosen Brianna, heiress of the Sterling family, and the humiliation is itemized, Brianna pours champagne over Ava's head and forces her to kneel and wipe up the spill, while Tyler tells her she belongs nowhere but behind a serving tray. Stripped of relationship, job and housing, Ava is cast out into torrential rain. The turn is a device, a mysterious One-Cent Marketplace appears on her phone, restocking one staggering item daily, each priced at one cent regardless of market value, and the first purchase is a pink Ferrari that materializes before her eyes. The itemized rise follows, a Beverly Hills penthouse, private couture archives, a legendary blue diamond, controlling shares of the Crown Hotel, a struggling fashion brand. The stated payback, the manager who threw her out is publicly fired, and Brianna loses her parties, privileges and spotlight. The listing breaks off mid-account of the staff Ava promoted, so the final settling of scores is the show's to supply. Thirty episodes, complete, 2,257 views.
