The Whole City Thinks I'm Just Messing Around

The protagonist, He Chang'an, is 24, a local of Yunjin City. He has a house in his old neighborhood that's slated for redevelopment, owes 80,000 yuan in online loans, and discovers his girlfriend's affair with a department manager on the very day he's laid off. He was supposed to go to a dinner that evening with his ex-girlfriend's cousin to apologize. Instead, the dinner turns into a setup to make him "voluntarily give up his compensation and take the fall." That's when the System binds itself to him. He Chang'an doesn't want to be a hero or pick a fight, but the System pushes him to stir things up. Every time, he uses the most straightforward methods to expose the posers, freeloaders, and schemers around him. Little by little, he goes from a laid-off office drone to the "mastermind behind the city's most entertaining livestreams."
