Pei Qian awakens ten years in the past in a near-parallel version of 2009—and gains a mysterious system that funds his business ventures. The rules are simple: business funds and personal money are separate, and after a set period, Pei Qian earns personal income based on how much business money remains. The twist? The more money his business loses, the more he personally earns. Confident that failure is easy, Pei Qian founds Tengda with the goal of losing as much money as possible. But fate has other plans, and every attempt at failure somehow turns into massive success.
Loosing Money to Become a Tycoon is a satire disguised as a business webtoon. Instead of glorifying hustle culture, it mocks it relentlessly—turning bad decisions into accidental brilliance.
The humor comes from inevitability. No matter how irrational Pei Qian’s choices are, the world bends to reinterpret them as genius. This constant inversion keeps the story light, absurd, and addictive.
It’s an excellent palate cleanser between heavier corporate dramas, offering laughs without abandoning clever commentary.
