Returning to the beginning of the century, awakening the Indulgent Movie King System.

The more you indulge, the happier you become!

Li Luo, who lived like a workhorse in his previous life, now thrives under the power of the system, leading a reckless life.

Liu Ziyang lay slumped on the creaking, broken sofa in his rented apartment, staring at the "Balance less than 100 yuan" notification on his phone screen. His temples throbbed. Just three days ago, he was a project manager at an internet company; now, he was part of the unemployed masses, without enough money in his pocket to even cover next week's rent.

"Grrrrumble—" His stomach growled at an inconvenient moment. He fished out the last packet of instant noodles from the fridge, three days past its expiry date. Just as he tore open the packaging, his phone screen suddenly went black, then a flashy, golden interface popped up.

[Ding! Host detected in a life low point, "Loss Rebate" System is binding...]

"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.”

“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!”
