The ancient divine beast Bai Ze wakes from a deep sleep and tumbles from a cloud bed in the divine realm into an iron cage in the mortal world. The beast that once understood the feelings of all things and knew everything under heaven has become a gray-furred common beast that can be bought for ten copper coins?
Fortunately, he binds to a “Lie Flat System”: staying still raises his defense, napping boosts his spirit, and deep sleep doubles his gains. Making an effort to move actually lowers his stats! Bai Ze gets it: there’s no point grinding himself to death in the beast-taming world. Lying down to get stronger is the true immortal way!
But who could have guessed that the cool and noble “Lady Yue,” Ling Yayue, would pass over high-tier battle beasts and bring home this “lazy lump” instead? Even more absurd, a head pat doubles his stat gains, and staying close to her can trigger a bloodline resonance. Bai Ze lies flat for good: “Cuddles with Yayue, more stats for me!”
From then on, the imperial capital has a strange new story to tell: the orphan of the Ling family and her white-furred beast lie their way to victory over Thunderwing Eagles, intimidate Flame-Scaled Beasts, and even get Spirit-Erosion Insects to help find spirit fruit. No one knows that this impossibly lazy ball of fluff carries the soul of an ancient divine beast.
“Never be a slave?” Bai Ze curls up on Ling Yayue’s lap, munching a spirit fruit and yawning. “Once I lie my way back into my divine beast form, I’ll protect Yayue and clear her name first. Then I’ll show the entire beast-taming world that anyone who dares to mess with someone under my protection can be crushed while I’m lying down!”
