Synopsis

Lin Feng transmigrates and becomes an extra, spending every day waiting for work outside the film studio. Some days he gets a meal, some days he doesn’t. Luckily, he activates a thoroughly unreliable System, and takes on every kind of odd job: setting up a stall, telling fortunes, cooking, and delivering food. On day one, he ghostwrites an essay for an elementary school student. On day two, he helps someone open a safe and even helps the police catch a thief. On day three, he works as a sleep coach. He can do any side job you can name, but he just can’t make money, and he keeps ending up at the police station. His acting career, his main job, is going nowhere, but none of that stops him from bringing joy to everyone.
