Synopsis
A journey "cursed" by luck Ah Xiao, an ordinary worker who works silently in the corner of the bustling city. Her life is filled with work. From morning to night every day, she works hard in piles of documents. Her meager salary barely supports her survival in this city. For her, the future is a long and gloomy road with no end in sight. One day by chance, when Ah Xiaojie was browsing WeChat, she saw an event about "Looking for the annual WeChat koi and winning a 100 million cash prize." At that time, she just downloaded the "Lucky Koi" APP for fun and completed the registration. She never imagined that this simple move would completely change the trajectory of her life. The turning point of fate is always so sudden. Ah Xiaojun actually became the lucky one and received a huge bonus of 100 million yuan. This sudden wealth made her instantly disoriented. Without any plan, she impulsively quit her job and decided to spend one year traveling around the world to spend all the 100 million yuan. Ah Xiaojie's first stop came to romantic Paris. However, as soon as she got off the plane, she encountered a thief, and her wallet and documents were stolen. For emergencies, she had to use some money from her bonus to solve the problem. While dining at a high-end restaurant in Paris, she accidentally knocked over an expensive set of tableware, and the high compensation made her heartbroken. After that, A Xiaojiao went to Japan. In Kyoto, the B&B she booked changed temporarily, and she had to spend a high price to stay in another hotel. When shopping, because she didn't understand the local market, she was deceived by unscrupulous merchants and spent a lot of money. As the journey progressed, Ah Xiaojun discovered a strange phenomenon: no matter how she spent money, the bonus would always return to her account in various strange ways. And every time the money came back, it would be accompanied by worse surprises. In Australia, her sightseeing plane suddenly broke down. Although it landed safely, she paid a high rescue fee. Faced with these unfortunate events one after another, Ah Xiaojun's heart was filled with anger and helplessness. But she always held back her temper and did not let her temper explode. She began to ask around for information about the organizers of the event, trying to uncover the truth behind this "lucky" event. However, every time she gets close to the truth, the clues are suddenly interrupted and she encounters various obstacles. One year passed in a blink of an eye, and Ah Xiaojun finally spent his last penny through unplanned consumption. She returned to China penniless, her previous job was gone, and her savings were depleted. This so-called "lucky trip" left her physically and mentally exhausted. She locked herself in her room and fell into a deep depression. The love and longing for life that I once had were completely destroyed by the "luck" of 100 million yuan.
