Hoping to lie flat and live like a salted fish, Mu Qingqing works overtime day and night on her original game, planning to sell the rights once it's finished and travel the world.
“Miss Mu, the copyright payment has been deposited into your bank account. Please check that you received it.”
Mu Qingqing is thrilled by the text on her phone. The contract is signed and the money is in her account. Tomorrow, she'll set off on a carefree trip around the world.

“Thank you, senior brother.”
“Qingqing is very clever. She learns in a few days what takes others months. It's just her temperament...”
