Ling Qingci, the peerless genius of Qingyun Sect, has maxed out every talent except one: cultivation, which she refuses to improve. A seasoned lie-flat devotee, her lifelong dream is to sample every delicacy in the Immortal Realm and sleep until she wakes naturally. She loathes meditation and breath cultivation.
Just as she is about to drive the sect elders to collectively retreat into seclusion, System 9527, an overachiever who dreams of retirement, is forcibly bound to her.
The System stares at its mission panel, still sitting at zero points, and nearly cries. Then it finally understands its Host’s childish mindset: forcing her won’t work. It has to coax her!
And so, the most absurd sight in the cultivation world comes to pass:
Heaven-tier techniques are disguised with the covers of Fun Comics, divine pill recipes are dressed up as The Complete Guide to Making Snacks, and even profound sword arts become Advanced Hide-and-Seek Techniques.
Ling Qingci opens them with the attitude of “just messing around.” Thanks to her heaven-defying talent, she comprehends everything automatically, then somehow advances through Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and beyond, all while lying flat her way to greatness.
Others toil at cultivation for a hundred years, while she breaks through after reading a couple of comic pages. Others risk their lives in secret realms, while she picks up one bargain after another using “game guides” disguised by the System.
The System had only meant to rack up enough points to retire quickly. But after day after day of placating her, coaxing her to eat, and taking her on trips, it transforms from an anxious overachiever into a laid-back nanny.
This is a journey of mutual salvation: she becomes invincible through lying flat, while he completes his final mission by staying by her side.
When cultivation is no longer a rat race, all that remains is the hilarious daily life of a proud genius and a fretful System.
