Wang Xiaoyu transmigrated to a parallel world and became a PhD student. He then received a system that rewarded him with 100 times the profit as long as he ran a company normally, spent money continuously, and mismanaged it. But unexpectedly, these sneaky bastards kept making the company better and better! They turned it into the world’s number one game company, the world’s number one supermarket, the world’s top investment firm, and so many other titles.

Wang Xiaoyu helplessly said: “I just want to lose money, but there are just too many of these sneaky bastards!”

"Please, I'm begging you all, stop letting me make money!"

"Get away, you damned bills!"

In the eyes of the public, Pei Qiankun was a titan of the entertainment industry, an investment genius, and the perfect boss—but he was utterly miserable.

Ever since he acquired the Wealth Compensation System, he'd been desperately trying to spend money and rack up losses, racking his brains to find losing investments.

But money seemed to have developed a life of its own—the more he spent, the more he had, the more he spent, the more it grew.

Even his employees, who were originally slackers, suddenly acted like they were on performance-enhancing drugs, working like crazy to earn him more and more.

Now staring at the business empire he accidentally built with his own hands, Pei Qiankun was on the verge of tears.

"I really just wanted to lose money!"

[AI generated summary]

After a lifetime of relentless effort, actor Ye Xiao finally lands his dream—the leading role in a major production. His triumph is cut tragically short when a freak accident on set ends his life. He reawakens to find he's been given a second chance, transmigrated into a parallel world where the entertainment industry is the most glorious and respected path one can take.

His excitement soars when a System binds to his soul, a golden ticket in a world built for stardom. However, his destiny takes a sharp, comical turn. The System, his supposed key to success, is a vast "Music Library." For Ye Xiao, a dedicated actor who is completely tone-deaf and can't read a single note of music, this is a cruel joke.

The System's first directive is an ultimatum: rise in the music world and earn points, or face a second, permanent death. Forced into a career he knows nothing about and is hilariously inept at, Ye Xiao's first request to his omnipotent System isn't for a chart-topping song, but for help enrolling in a basic music class so he can learn to decipher the "ghostly talismans" it calls sheet music.

This novel follows the comedic journey of a man who wants to be a legendary actor but is forced by a life-or-death system to become a music icon first. Armed with a library of classic hits from his old world but zero personal talent, he must reluctantly conquer the music charts, all while hilariously trying to steer his chaotic new life back to his true passion: the silver screen.

Exclusive Interview

Reporter: “President Mei, your latest game has once again gone explosively viral. Could you share with us the original inspiration behind making this game?”

Mei Caiyi, wearing a pained expression: “You might not believe this, but I actually have a system—every time the company loses money, I personally make a huge profit. So, the whole reason I made this game was to lose money. Same with the last one. And the one before that. All of them.”

Reporter: “Hahaha! President Mei, you’re truly hilarious. I understand now—you’re not in this for the money. You’re just sincerely making heartfelt, high-quality games for the players.”

He really wanted to say: “Understand my ass.”

How was he supposed to know all those games would blow up?

Now they call him things like “visionary,” “marketing genius,” “game development prodigy”—as if they weren’t just slandering him!

“Arbitrary Town”—a construction game with no gameplay, just mindless clicking.

“TombForce”—the protagonist is male, and all the enemies have bizarre, ridiculous designs.

“Cry”—deliberately made to provoke flame wars.

“Conscience-Free Game Platform”—created solely to deter people from registering.

“Escape”—designed to scare players so badly they wouldn’t want to buy it.

…He’s even gone online more than once begging for help: “Willing to pay handsomely for a large-scale, logically sound game idea that’s guaranteed to lose a ton of money!”

Liu Qingyun acquired a ‘Loss-Making System.’ As long as he loses money on investments, he gets ten times the return. He just wants to lose money, but every project he invests in somehow becomes wildly successful. Only the world where Liu Qingyun is the one getting hurt has been achieved.

‘I just want to lose some money—why is it so hard?’

After being reborn right after graduation, Cheng Xu embarks on his store-owning journey. He starts off with a single large shop—400 square meters—and just the monthly rent costs over 10,000 yuan. According to the trajectory of his past life, this should end in business failure and dragging his parents down with him.

This time, Cheng Xu decides to give up and slack off. No more striving—surely that will keep him from repeating his old mistakes.

Wait, what? A Wealth System has bonded with him? And it gives him a 100-to-1 rebate on any losses?

Well then, forget lying flat. He’ll follow the same path as last time—max out spending, join forces when he can’t beat them, and go all-in on milking the system for everything it’s got.

But somehow… he’s making money? What the hell? Get away from me, you damned piles of cash!

Ten years later, a reporter interviews him:

“Mr. Cheng, what inspired you to become such a conscientious entrepreneur?”

Cheng Xu sighs helplessly:

“Is it possible… that I just really wanted to lose money?”

After being reborn, Liu Wei unexpectedly gains the "Slacker System."

As long as he continues to slack off, he’ll achieve success.

But the result...

“President Liu, our game is a massive hit!”

“Brother Wei, our supermarket has expanded into a nationwide chain!”

“Hello, President Liu? Great news—the new movie just won an award!”

“President Liu, your all-in-one entertainment empire is progressing steadily...”

“…”

Liu Wei stands on the balcony, staring blankly:

"How did it turn out like this? I just wanted to slack off!"
