Liu Zhen is an ordinary office worker with 6,000 yuan in debt, rent due soon, and no money yet for his mother's medical checkup. All he wants is to work hard, earn money, and pay off his debts. Then he accidentally gets bound to the Reverse Merit System.
Earnestly doing good deeds, staying up late to compete at work, and deliberately sucking up all cost him merit, bringing one streak of bad luck after another.
Slacking off, taking things as they come, and acting without thinking earn him merit, and good fortune comes looking for him.
His coworker, a grind-obsessed overachiever, stays up all night revising a proposal, then botches the presentation and smashes the projector.
He tries desperately to flatter a client and pour them drinks at a business dinner, only to embarrass himself in front of everyone again and again.
The neighborhood aunties enthusiastically form a group to rescue an orange cat, but the harder they try, the higher up the tree they drive it.
The harder everyone tries, the worse things get.
Liu Zhen doesn't dare give it his all. He has no choice but to slack off.
While everyone else stays up all night reviewing a meeting, he sleeps peacefully in the corner. Instead, the client takes a liking to him and names him project lead.
When the aunties fail to climb the tree and rescue the cat, he casually tosses half a sausage its way and saves it without even trying.
At the business dinner, he turns down the drinks and small talk, focusing only on the food. Then a long-forgotten share of royalties from some old material lands directly in his account: 200,000 yuan!
It's not that Liu Zhen doesn't want to work hard. It's just that doing things seriously really does bring terrible luck.
Let the overachievers work hard. Good fortune chases after him, the guy who can't be bothered.
