Fang Yang finds himself thrust into a bizarre survival challenge where contestants are randomly assigned professions to earn popularity points. While others despair over useless skills, Fang Yang draws the seemingly mundane role of an excavator operator. Confident in his hidden expertise, he dazzles the live audience with flawless machinery control, instantly becoming a dark horse contender.

However, his luck takes a catastrophic turn when a single scoop of his shovel severs not just one, but five critical underground cables. As netizens joke about his impending imprisonment, the situation escalates from a simple construction accident to a national security crisis. When military helicopters descend upon the site and a high-ranking Colonel leads an armed squad to the scene, it becomes clear that Fang Yang has accidentally unearthed a top-secret national defense line.

Now, with the entire country watching his live stream and the army surrounding him, Fang Yang must navigate the absurdity of being the most famous criminal in history while trying to prove this was all a massive misunderstanding before he is dragged away to a cell.
