Su Jianwan, whose family was in decline, was forced to work as a clerk in the "Documentary Office", the lowest level in the capital, in order to raise money for his younger brother's imperial examination tuition. She originally wanted to finish her working life with the Buddhist mentality of "catching fish and getting paid until retirement", but she didn't expect that the ancient workplace was ten times more demanding than modern ones - weird colleagues who robbed others of the blame, PUA bosses who were addicted to painting, and a complex environment where even the cleaning lady had a hidden background, which put her in a desperate situation at the beginning.
In order to keep his job, Su Jianwan was forced to unlock the "Black Humor Survival Rules": Does the boss make a fool of himself? She made the other party speechless with a "fishing report" backhand; did her colleague blame the blame? She used the "mystery of typos" to make the pot go back the way it came; even when she was pushed to do the difficult task of counting refugees, she was able to solve the hidden smuggling case by accident and rely on "chatty questioning".
While other people compete for background and talent in the workplace, what Su Jianwan competes for is his strange brain circuit of "living on" and his strong mentality of "laughing at everything". From being a transparent person in the clerk's office to being a "handler of difficult and complicated cases", and then being accidentally involved in court disputes, she stepped on funny pitfalls, criticized weird people, and "reluctantly" got promotions and salary increases along the way. There is no golden finger, no noble person from heaven, only the survival wisdom of the working man and the dark humor philosophy of life. Let's see how the Buddhist girl carves out a hilarious promotion path in the hierarchical ancient workplace and becomes the supporter of herself and her family.
