Synopsis

[Urban] [Everyday life] [Lighthearted] [Comedy] [System (you tell me if there is one)]

Xiao Baima, a post-2000s migrant worker in Guangdong, awakens an involution-and-rent-collection System one night after a car accident.

The System panel tells him his lifespan is running out, and the only way to extend it is to work himself to the bone and collect rent.

As it happens, Xiao Baima’s parents have gone abroad on vacation, leaving him with the burden of collecting rent.

In the course of his everyday life, Xiao Baima gradually meets all kinds of women, each with her own personality, and gets caught up in all sorts of strange encounters with them.

See how Xiao Baima hilariously works and collects rent in his comical daily life.

(And by the way, you tell me: is there really a System or not?)

Any Slice-of-Life Romance Novels?

No domineering CEOs or anything like that, and no tragic romances. No special powers, no System, no harem, just a simple, low-key love story.

Pure Slice-of-Life Stories

Are slice-of-life stories even slice-of-life anymore? It’s all showing off and face-slapping, and it’s really annoying to read. Give me something light, fresh, and genuinely slice-of-life.
