Xu Qiren has always feared three things: tower cranes, winning the lottery, and appearing on TV.
Then a tower crane came crashing down, but didn't kill him. He casually bought a two-yuan lottery ticket and won ten million. That same day, something called the [Misfortune Conservation System] bonded with him. Every bit of bad luck he suffered became Misfortune Points, which he could transfer to anyone. But any good luck he transferred to himself had to be repaid with an equal amount of misfortune within seventy-two hours.
So he did something nobody on the internet could understand: he donated every last cent of his ten million.
He gave away the money, but not the trending headlines. Streamers blocked the entrance to his underpass, reporters crowded the factory gates, and film crews camped outside his dorm. The more he tried to hide, the more the entire internet hoisted him onto a pedestal.
“I just want to find somewhere nobody knows me and live out the rest of my life in peace.”
