Pu Xinglan has always been delicate and fussy. He's afraid of the dark, hard work, and dirt, an absolute couch potato in spirit. Unfortunately, he has to work to support himself.
His greatest wish in life is to escape the drudgery of working life, retire thirty years early, and head straight for the finish line of a life spent freeloading until he dies.
Then, with a pop, he transmigrates into a book.
He becomes a romance-obsessed, troublesome cannon-fodder character, the kind who gives up everything for "true love," abandons his family and child, and ends up dying miserably on the street.
Looking at his opulent bedroom, Pu Xinglan is deeply confused: What kind of performance art is this supposed to be?
The blanket rustles, and a cute little baby peeks out, crying so hard he can barely catch his breath. His soft little hand gently clutches his father's clothes. "...Daddy, don't go, okay?"
Pu Xinglan: Wow! I've transmigrated into the day before abandoning my family and child!
He gives the little one a loud smooch on the face. "Daddy isn't going anywhere. Daddy will stay right by your side."
Why run away?
I'm going to enjoy life!

Pu Xinglan takes his child on a parenting reality show, planning to earn one last payday before taking the money and retiring.
He's about to leave showbiz anyway. Why care about his image?!
Pu Xinglan crosses his legs and happily plays the big shot on the show. The lazy nature he had suppressed throughout his years as a wage slave bursts out in full force. If he can talk instead of act, he won't lift a finger; if he can lie down, he won't sit. Apart from cuddling his kid, he wants nothing.
He also keeps coming out with memorable lines:
"If you can solve something by talking nonsense, why bother working? Got nothing better to do?"
"What's wrong with people not wanting to suffer, work hard, or deal with the cold and heat?"
"Here's a truth for you: Lazy people are the stairway to progress. Could you please respect every lazy person around you?"
He thought people would tear him apart, but who knew the father and son would become an overnight sensation? Pu Xinglan even became the entertainment industry's poster boy for rejecting the rat race.
[What a perfect mouthpiece for wage slaves hahaha, well said! Say more!]
[I've seen people give up, but never someone so unapologetically committed to giving up hahaha]
[Pu Xinglan, my role model for giving up!]
In a villa far away, a powerful tycoon watched his phone with a dark expression:
#Pu Xinglan says raising a child alone is pretty great#
#Pu Xinglan says an irresponsible spouse is worse than no spouse at all#
#Pu Xinglan says divorce is a fresh start in life#
#Pu Xinglan says he'll give his child the love of two parents all by himself#
The next day, all the trending topics had vanished without a trace. Only two characters stubbornly remained at the top of the list:
#Remarry# (Viral)
Clicking on it revealed a popular video.
A peerlessly handsome man stepped out of a helicopter with a bouquet of white roses. His stern features were full of tenderness as he knelt on one knee before Pu Xinglan.
"Darling, would you marry me again?"
Core Message: Persevere and strive forward. Never give up, and keep moving toward your goals.
