Play the pig to eat the tiger + invincible + feel-good power fantasy + civil service + entertainment mogul
From the start, top-tier star Lin Yu turns down a contract worth tens of billions and retires from show business to take the civil service exam, all for a carefree life of tea and newspapers. On his first day at work, he keeps a low profile and just wants to be a nobody. But trouble always finds him, and the “Lazy Fish System” keeps pushing him to step in!
When his coworkers can't resolve a noise dispute, he settles it with a single remark based on his knowledge of acoustics, and is hailed as a “master” on the spot.
When his boss is tearing his hair out over anti-fraud campaigns, he edits a suspense blockbuster using filmmaking techniques, setting the internet ablaze and topping the trending searches!
When the neighborhood aunties' square-dancing routines are hopelessly outdated, he casually gives them a makeover. An entertainment company even shows up, wanting to form a “top-tier senior girl group”!
From Xiao Lin in the neighborhood, to an adviser for the district, to the city's handpicked chief planner!
The harder he tries to keep a low profile, the more famous he gets. The more he tries to slack off, the bigger the stage becomes!
Forced to stand center stage at the National Grand Theater, gazing at the fans and officials going wild for him below, Lin Yu can only say, “Fine, I'll come clean. I just wanted to be a civil servant, but my abilities wouldn't let me!”
