In the near future, cities will launch an "emotional tax" system: emotional fluctuations such as anger, anxiety, and fear will be converted into taxes in real time and automatically deducted; the subsequent "emotional credit" will further divide people into three, six, and nine levels. Wen Che, an unemployed former algorithm engineer, was forced to switch careers as an "emotional tax agent", exploiting loopholes in rules to help people legally reduce taxes and appeal for tax refunds.
At first, he just wanted to make a living, but he unexpectedly discovered that the emotional peaks in the city seemed to be uniformly tuned by someone: hot searches were the igniter, the advertising screen was the rhythm master, and someone was doing "emotional futures" to bet that you would collapse tomorrow. When he tried to resist, the system sent him a warning: "The anger is worth it, please pay."
OK, since you have to pay for being angry, let the person who made the rules go bankrupt. Wen Che decided to use the rules in reverse, turning his emotions from harvested leeks into the sharpest weapons, setting off a nationwide tax refund storm that brought the system to a halt.
This is a dark humorous anti-murder drama that makes people laugh with thorns and make their scalp numb.
