Modern-day office slacker Shen Wangyou opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the short-lived, villainous supporting heroine of a tragic historical romance. And the System forces her to win over the cold-hearted male lead, Xiao Jingheng? She immediately gives up. “Can I trade his heart for money? Deduct as many points as you want!”
From then on, the aloof beauty’s style takes a sharp turn. When she’s framed at a palace banquet, she flips the table and shouts, “Don’t keep me from my nap!” When the original heroine presents a poem, she bluntly says, “That’s copied. The original author was Li Bai.” Even when she tries to build a career, she just tells her younger brother how to “lie flat and earn money.” But the harder she tries to lie flat, the more she gets dragged into disrupting the plot: she falls asleep under a tree during an autumn hunt and accidentally saves the emperor, solves a locust plague with “A Bite of Locusts,” and even confuses the enemy army with “worker theory” on the battlefield.
The cold-faced Prince Xiao Jingheng goes from using her to becoming her number-one fan. After ascending the throne, he offers her his empire and asks her to be empress. But Shen Wangyou just waves him off from her chaise longue. “Does being empress mean running the whole world? I only want to look after my sofa.” In the end, the male lead dismisses his harem and changes the palace rules, creating a “Lazy-Fish Palace” just for her. After all, the most important thing in the world is making sure his lazy fish can lounge in comfort and win without lifting a finger.
