Overworked office worker Jiang Yingyue transmigrates into a cultivation novel full of angst as a cannon-fodder junior sister who won’t survive three chapters. That very night, she makes a clean getaway and joins the legendary Cloud Retreat Sect, a laid-back retirement haven. Her dream is simple: lie flat in the sun and sleep until she wakes naturally.
Yet on her very first day of lying flat, she casually improves the mountain-protecting formation. By the end of her first week, she has used a “Sleeping Charm” to knock out the original novel’s leads, who came looking for trouble. At the sect tournament, she is forced into action and uses her “Drunken Dream Arhat Fist” to make the geniuses question their entire lives. In the Primordial Secret Realm, she eats hot pot and sings as she goes, only to become the sole chosen inheritor of an ancient legacy.
Before long, the Cloud Retreat Sect goes from being the laughingstock of the cultivation world to its strongest dark horse. Her sleep charms become popular across the continent, and demand for the spiritual meals she delivers is through the roof. Then the Netherworld Hall returns, and the ancient Demon Venerable is on the verge of breaking free from his seal. To everyone’s horror, they discover that the junior sister who yawns all day has long since reached unfathomable levels of cultivation.
When the world-ending crisis arrives, Jiang Yingyue stretches and rises from her rocking chair. “Anyone who won’t let me lie flat won’t be able to lie flat either.”
This is a wacky cultivation tale about an unwillingly max-level powerhouse leading a laid-back sect, saving the world while cracking jokes, and ultimately proving that you can win without getting off your back.
