AnimationComedyDramaSci-Fi & Fantasy
Finding himself back in time 10 years ago, though technically an almost parallel world in 2009, Pei Qian got a system where he gets money to run his business. The funds for business and personal use are separated. After a set period, he can earn his personal funds according to how much his business funds he has left. The catch? Pei Qian earns more when he makes a loss in his business funds. Happily thinking how easy it would be, with many failed start-ups proving a point, Pei Qian founded his company Tengda and achieved financial freedom through the losses. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for him.
