The System Forces Me to Hustle, but I Just Want to Lie Flat

Su Lanlan, a star programmer who worked herself to death, finally gets her wish and transmigrates to the world of immortal cultivation, determined to lie flat for good. Who knew it would be hell from the start? A System called “Grind Your Way to Immortality” forcibly binds to her, with electric shocks for failure! To avoid being shocked into a crisp, she's forced to get to work, becoming a notorious “good-for-nothing with connections” at Tianyan Sect despite her fake Five-Element spiritual roots.

While her fellow disciples sweat through their training, she figures out how to tie a sword to a tree and make it swing automatically. While everyone else meditates to gain enlightenment, she sleeps until she loses track of day and night. But who could have guessed that her body would cultivate automatically while she slept, producing spiritual power so pure it was frightening? In the outer disciples' tournament, where she expected to be eliminated in the first round, she makes it into the top ten by “playing dead” and “taking a dive,” earning the nickname “Tortoiseshell Fairy” and catching the eye of the sect's aloof grind king, senior brother Mo Qianyu.

From then on, her lazy days are over. She takes a nap in a secret realm, and a hundred-year-old spirit herb grows at the cave entrance. She even accidentally “blows up” Mo Qianyu, her rival, while saving him, and ends up forced into a team with him to survive. In the inner sect, she becomes everyone's target, while the System assigns her the absurd mission of forming a Golden Core in three years. Faced with the System closing in at every turn and the senior brother grind king, who uses “repaying a debt” as an excuse to “keep an eye on her,” Su Lanlan is forced to develop a series of lazy tactics: drowning her opponents in a sea of talismans, repelling attacks with shields, hypnotic sound attacks...

Just as she becomes famous for “lying down” her way to victory in the sect tournament and leaves everyone in awe, Su Lanlan falls into deep thought: Is the lie-flat life she wants really just another kind of grind? And when the Golden Core tribulation descends, the truth behind the System begins to emerge, while the person standing beside her has already fallen deeply in love with her...
