Li Muchen came from an ordinary rural family. An unremarkable student with no connections, he became a programmer after earning a bachelor’s degree through a vocational college transfer program. He thought he was destined for a mediocre life, writing code with his head down, working hard, and remaining unnoticed. Then one day, he unexpectedly activated a mysterious System: the “Debug Your Life System.”
The System could analyze the “bugs” in life just like debugging a program, optimize decisions, improve abilities, and even predict the outcomes of pivotal moments. Faced with a demanding boss at work, complicated romantic entanglements, and unexpected crises in everyday life, Li Muchen began debugging his life like code: quietly building up his strength, keeping a low profile, playing the pig to eat the tiger, and repeatedly turning the tables to deliver face-slapping payback to those who looked down on him.
In the steel jungle of the city, he meets Su Yixi, a cool and clever woman whose gentle appearance hides a calculating mind. Workplace rivalries, hacker battles, System upgrades... Every choice could change the future. Can he master the System, break free from an ordinary fate, and make his way from obscurity to an all-around comeback?
This cyberpunk urban fantasy combines workplace savvy, technological speculation, and reflections on life. It’s funny but fierce, with undercurrents of danger. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the “bugs” in your own life, follow Li Muchen and see how life can be debugged.
