While Everyone Else Is Hustling, I Choose to Break Through the Ceiling by Going Down

After transmigrating, Ye Tian was bound to the 【Character-Playing】 System. Without hesitation, he chose the lie-flat persona. He also took on the ultimate challenge, 【Platinum Lie-Flat God】: as long as he lay flat for ten years, he would receive a hundredfold boost to his luck. One day, ten years later, the production team of the show Helping You All the Way received a call for help from a villager. The caller said his son had been lying flat at home for ten years. He was almost thirty, had no job, and wasn't looking for a partner. The caller hoped the show could talk some sense into him. Lying flat was a hot social issue, and the production team took it very seriously, seeing it as a trending topic delivered right to their door. When the crew arrived, they criticized Ye Tian for not going out to work 996, endure hardship, strive for success, or have children, and for rotting away at home, wasting his youth and living off others. Without a word, Ye Tian started firing back. “Wasting your youth means exhausting yourself to the point of becoming a workhorse?” “So what if I'm single? A single person has no ties, no burdens, and the freedom to do as they please, without being bound by anything!” “So what if I'm a puddle of mud? Mud doesn't fear a raging flood. Striving for success just means sprinting with the chains of desire around your neck.” “Everyone has the right to define their own youth. It doesn't need to be measured by society's standards.” When the episode aired, it shot to the top of the trending charts. Ye Tian's words went viral across the internet. But with the attention came controversy, and many online mocked him for using self-deception to console himself about being poor and unambitious. Not long afterward, however, an even more explosive piece of news broke: a mountain owned by the Ye family had been seized, and they received seventy million in compensation. The internet went wild!
