[Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger] [Laid-Back Male Lead] [Airheaded Beauty] [Gap Moe] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Growth] [Master and Disciple?] [Wish Fulfillment]
The Rebirth Affairs Agency, a shabby little building tucked away in a corner of the city.
Its boss, Qin Yuan, is the ultimate slacker.
He loves to slack off, is a master of snark, and would never sit when he could lie down. His lifelong goal is to find the easiest way to do absolutely nothing.
Then one day, Chu Ling, a theory-minded top student overflowing with a sense of justice, barged into this den of slackers with a backpack full of textbooks and a heart full of passion.
She thought this was a sanctuary for saving lost souls. Instead, she discovered...
Was her master's idea of "hands-on training" to have her use a calculus textbook to pin down a sleep-paralysis demon?
Was dealing with a "cat spirit returning from the dead" just a matter of mooching sweet potatoes from the neighbors and soothing it with a few words?
Did stopping a street thief rely not on talismans or magical artifacts, but on... a coffee cup sleeve flicked casually from his hand?
Chu Ling's worldview shattered every day. She wanted to reform her slacker master with theory, but he kept turning her understanding upside down in the most irreverent ways.
Yet when true darkness descended, the formidable strength and icy gaze hidden beneath Qin Yuan's lazy exterior came to light. The "filthy things" that left Chu Ling helpless were no match for him.
Deep trauma, a mysterious background, an unknown tenderness, and a hidden soul power far beyond mere "perception": being a slacker was simply Qin Yuan's best disguise.
This is the strange journey of an airheaded beauty trying to rouse a slacker powerhouse, only to be drawn unexpectedly into an even deeper whirlpool.
As the city's mists are cleared, ancient obsessions awaken, and hidden forces emerge, it seems the slacker master's retirement is well and truly over~
