Example Usage

Two weeks of overtime in a row — I'm completely running on empty.

Cultural Context

Originally from games like Honor of Kings and League of Legends, where 残血 means a character with critically low HP. Crossed into everyday speech to describe being financially, emotionally, or physically depleted — barely functional, one bad event from collapse. 残血状态 (low-health state) is now widely used on Weibo and Douyin to describe burnout, financial precarity, and emotional exhaustion.
