Ling Yun, an overworked programmer, dies suddenly and transmigrates into the notorious good-for-nothing Seventh Prince of the Tianfeng Empire. His meridians are blocked, everyone bullies him, and even his cruel servants pressure him to renounce his title.
At his lowest point, the [Idle Cultivation System] activates!
From then on, his cultivation skyrockets automatically while he eats, sleeps, drinks tea, or watches a show. The more he lies flat, the more efficient his idle cultivation becomes!
Everyone mocks him as a hopeless wreck and looks forward to laughing at him during the empire's grand tournament.
Ling Yun agrees with them and keeps a low profile, barely scraping out “narrow wins” against powerful foes with the most basic techniques.
The Crown Prince sees him as an insect, while the Third Prince wants to use him as a stepping stone.
But in the tournament's final, facing the arrogant Third Prince, Ling Yun finally stops holding back and slowly draws his sword.
That day, swordlight illuminated the entire imperial capital, reflected in the gaping jaws of everyone who saw it.
Yet just as his name becomes known throughout the land, a rebellion sweeping across the empire quietly begins...
While everyone assumes he made his comeback through sheer luck, Ling Yun looks at the progress bar on his System panel, nearly filled to the max, and can only ask:
“You call me a good-for-nothing? Then how about learning what it means to idle your way to godhood?”
