At twenty-four, he had been rejected from three hundred jobs, was two months behind on rent, had lost his girlfriend to a rich man, and wasn’t even remembered by name in the family chat.

Lu Ci decided to end it all tonight by jumping off the Waibaidu Bridge.

Halfway there, a loudspeaker outside a lottery shop nearly burst his eardrums: “Tonight’s one-billion-yuan jackpot could be yours!”

“Fine. I’ll spend my last two yuan before I die and buy myself a little hope.”

Clutching the crumpled ticket, he stood on the bridge railing and opened a livestream of the draw on his phone.

The first number matched.

The second number matched.

The third number...

“Holy shit?????”

His foot slipped, and he plunged headfirst into the Huangpu River.

The ticket was safe in a waterproof bag, a passerby pulled him out, and the heavens arranged for him to trend online.

From then on, the young man who had won the biggest lottery prize in Huaxia’s history became a spectacle for the whole internet as he claimed his prize, spent his money, and stirred up trouble.

He installed heating in schools in the mountains, fought for justice for veterans, used his money to smash a chain of hidden-camera businesses, and hired a team of lawyers to take down romance scammers.

Some called him the God of Wealth, others a modern-day hero, and still others a madman.

Meanwhile, the people whose interests he had threatened were already sharpening their knives.

When Lu Ci discovered that even a “body double” for him was ready, he smiled.

“Want to kill me? Fine. But first, I’ll expose every last one of your secrets to the whole world.”
