How I Lost Everything in a Bull Market

Lin Haoran is an ordinary college graduate in Qingshi City, with no particular talent for work. By a twist of fate, he becomes a demolition-relocation beneficiary and suddenly finds himself with a million yuan in cash. In other people’s eyes, he’s a promising young man with a great start. But to him, working a job is a waste of youth, and stock trading is the shortcut to the top.

So he charges into the stock market with grand ambitions, dreaming of buying a yacht, marrying a beautiful heiress, and living the life of a winner. Then reality slaps him in the face: he gets trapped chasing stocks that hit their daily limit, becomes the bagholder when he tries to buy the dip, and gets wiped out by leveraged trading. His account is cut in half, then cut in half again, until it’s empty. He even loses the small apartment he got from the demolition compensation. While everyone else gets rich in the bull market, he ends up in debt, becoming a living fossil of the stock market.

But every story of fate has to turn somewhere, and that turn comes at the very bottom. Just as Lin Haoran hits rock bottom and scrapes by on help from his buddies, he unexpectedly meets a reclusive stock-market genius. A real turning point is quietly on its way...

This is the tearful history of a retail investor, and a coming-of-age story that will make you laugh through your tears. In the first fifty chapters, you’ll watch the protagonist lose his nerve, wipe out his account, and be left in tears. In the second half, you’ll see how he fights back from the brink and thrives. Some say the stock market is hell; others say it’s heaven. Lin Haoran is here to tell you: the bull market is the worst nightmare of all.
