After Qin Huan worked himself to death, he transmigrated to the world of Genshin Impact. All he wanted was to be a useless shut-in kept by Kamisato Ayaka, spending his days drinking, savoring tea, listening to the wind, admiring the snow, and lying flat.
"It's the Shogunate era, with a rigid class system and closed borders. Ordinary people can barely stay alive. Why not lie flat?"
"The gods look down on the world, collect Visions, wield extraordinary power, and cut off every path to advancement. Why not lie flat?"
"Slimes, Hilichurls, Abyss Mages... Monsters are everywhere, and calamities keep appearing. The nation is on the brink of ruin. Why not lie flat?"
"In short, rotten officials hold office in the court, while beasts feast on their salaries in the palace. Wolves in human skin swagger through the halls of power, and toadies fill the government, until the nation is reduced to ruins and the people suffer terribly!"
"And I'm just a useless shut-in with no elemental power. I might as well lie flat..."
But one day, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly rose up in revolt and joined the rebel army:
"The people have suffered under Ba for far too long. Today, we launch our great undertaking!"
"Are kings and nobles born to rule?"
"My husband can take his place!"
