A man gets sent back in time with a system that pays him for losing money, so he tries his absolute hardest to tank every business he touches. The comedy writes itself. What makes it work is that Pei Qian's schemes are so aggressively stupid they somehow loop back around to accidentally succeeding, turning every episode into a war between his intentional failures and the universe's refusal to let him fail. The show knows exactly how absurd its own premise is and leans into it completely, never breaking character to wink at the camera.

Pei Qian, an ordinary migrant worker, finds himself in a near-parallel 2009 with a strange gift: a system that funds his business ventures while keeping his personal money separate. The setup seems too good to be true because it is. Profits earn him almost nothing, but every yuan his company loses flows into his own pocket. He founds Tengda and picks the costly, risky game industry, aiming to burn through cash as fast as possible and collect the rewards. At first his strategy works, and his deliberate failures bring him real financial freedom. Then everything starts going right. The offbeat games he makes to defy the market keep becoming hits, his company earns more and more, and the public hails him as a business genius. Now Pei Qian faces an absurd problem: he must keep trying to sabotage his own success, even though all he truly wants is to lose money.
