8 Days Limited is a Chinese drama series following two unlucky souls whose lives seem cursed by an eight-day cycle of failure. Hou Ba Tian, a short and anxious man, loses every job and relationship within exactly eight days, convinced he's doomed to perpetual disappointment.

When their paths cross, both discover they're not alone in their misfortune. The series blends comedy with genuine pathos as these two underdogs navigate setbacks, bad timing, and the question of whether luck—or fate—can ever turn in their favor. It's a lighthearted yet touching exploration of resilience and connection amid life's cruel coincidences.
