Cheating the Cheaters: Saving My Family

share time: 2025-11-27 00:31:04

Lin Xiaoman, a "civilian anti-fraud expert" who spends every day in anti-fraud live streams, is hit by a bolt from the blue—his father was scammed out of 2 million yuan in an "antique investment" scheme by a cheating gang, plus 500,000 yuan in usury, and his mother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from anxiety and is hospitalized. Desperate, he binds to the "Cheating Breaking System": complete tasks using the system's "legal anti-cheating skills" (reverse tricks to expose scams) to get clues to save his family. But the system's tasks are absurdly frustrating: first expose short-weight scams in the market to earn points, then crack the gym's "lifetime membership trap", even help an aunt recover her pension scammed by health products. Worse, Su Yu, a "cheating master" who seemingly helps him crack the antique scam, is actually the apprentice of the mastermind, luring him into a trap. Lin Xiaoman learns anti-cheating skills from the system to outwit Su Yu, while working three jobs to pay his mother's medical bills. The system mocks him as "stupid as an unopened dice" but gives him "cheat sheets" when it matters. When he finally reaches the gang's lair, he finds the mastermind is his father's "business friend" from 20 years ago... Can he break the game, save his family, and uncover the 20-year-old truth?
