A modern overworked office worker drops dead and wakes up as Wang Xifeng, exhausted to the point of coughing blood.
She plans to keep working herself to the bone and hold the crumbling Jia household together,
but then she gets bound to the [Forced Lie-Flat World-Saving System]
the more you worry, the sooner you die; the more you lie flat, the steadier the Jia household becomes!
Dare to manage affairs? Points deducted! Dare to compete for the most overworked? Struck by lightning! Dare to push yourself to the limit? You turn ugly!
Wang Xifeng breaks down:
“I want to run the household! I want power! I want to be the fiery Feng!”
The System replies, “No, all you want is to lie flat.”
From then on, everyone in the Jia household is baffled:
The once decisive Madam Feng
now snacks on sunflower seeds, sleeps in, and lies flat until the end of time.
Yet, strangely enough
The Jia household stops running a deficit, the servants stop slacking,
all the schemes fall apart on their own, and disaster never comes knocking!
Wang Xifeng:
“...All right, it seems lying flat really can save the Jia family.”
