Liu Wenjin, a corporate drone working 996 hours, finally receives his just reward. He is pulling an all-nighter, so exhausted that his brain feels like a dog's, when he successfully becomes one of the many hosts bound to a System.
System: Congratulations, Host. This System is designed to help you experience all kinds of perfect lives and change your corporate-drone nature.
Liu Wenjin: A perfect life? Yeah, right! Guys, who gets it? Whose idea of a perfect life is being a laborer forced to build the Straight Roads for the First Emperor? Or the executioner's ghost-headed saber in the hands of a man killing people for Grandpa Hongwu? Or the Luoyang Bridge where Sima Yi pointed and swore an oath over the Luo River? A perfect life means transmigrating into the past and having to fight for survival from the start? You have to live carefully, and even if you want to die, it has to be due to circumstances beyond your control. And you can't even kill yourself?
