You can buy a TV bracket suitable to mount a small TV on a single stud, for $20.

The only objective you've stated is to save that money. If you want to do a botch job there's nothing really wrong with hanging a TV from a hook. That's a lot safer than hanging a flimsy chipboard shelving unit on the wall by one screw and putting a TV loosely on top of it!

Some of the other answers here, suggesting that you buttress your wall and furniture with bits of wood ..... will cost more than a TV bracket.

Plant a 2-inch by #10 screw hook into the stud. Get a pair of metric eye hooks for the TV. Not screw hooks, but hooks with metric bolts of the right size for your TV's VESA mount. These hooks will come with nuts that you can use to lock the bolts against the TV.

Then use picture wire to hang it up.

It's not terribly safe or attractive but it's WAY safer and more attractive than Plan A, and it will cost about $2.

If you don't even want to spend $2, go get some concrete blocks from a rubble pile somewhere and place the existing TV stand on them.
