Synopsis
Success usually means climbing the ladder, but Yang Hui finds himself in the absurd position of needing to fall off it. After reaching the rank of Regional General Manager at twenty-four, he is granted access to a supernatural relief system that pays astronomical sums for being jobless. Starting at ten million monthly, the rewards double every time he is terminated, provided he can manage to get fired within a strict seven-day window. This reversal of ambition creates a comedic friction where professional failure becomes the ultimate goal. The writing leans into the absurdity of the situation, escalating from simple workplace mishaps to a broader lifestyle of extravagant, unearned wealth. It is a lightweight experience that prioritizes immediate gratification and chaotic irony over deep character studies. People who enjoy seeing social norms inverted and corporate structures mocked will find this satisfying, while those craving a disciplined, realistic career progression will likely be frustrated by the sheer randomness of the system.

Editorial Review
With over three hundred chapters, the work demonstrates a strong ability to sustain its central gimmick beyond a simple short story. The hook is undeniably effective, providing a consistent stream of satisfaction as the protagonist navigates the contradictions of his wealth. However, the sheer volume of content suggests a risk of repetitive cycles, where the novelty of getting fired might eventually wear thin. While the addition of romance and drama adds necessary layers to the plot, there is a danger that these elements could dilute the comedic energy of the primary premise. The progression feels steady, but the transition from a workplace comedy to a broader fantasy drama can sometimes feel uneven. Overall, it is a solid example of the genre that balances its absurd premise with enough longevity to keep the plot moving, though it lacks a certain narrative tightness.
