History graduate student Shen Yan drops dead on the eleventh late night he spends revising his thesis.
When he opens his eyes again, he is a penniless licentiate in an examination hall, facing a blank paper and a watchful examiner.
He thought that transmigrating meant he could lie flat, but instead he gets bound to the [Do-Nothing No More System]
The more he wants to keep a low profile, the more the System forces him to show off.
Asked to write an essay on statecraft? He delivers a master's thesis, leaving the examiners on their knees.
Invited to a poetry gathering? He plans to recite Tang poems and wing it, but a side effect kicks in and he breaks into a dance to “The Most Dazzling Folk Style” on the spot. It becomes a hit.
During the palace examination, the emperor asks about governing the country. Forced to draw up a cannon design, he is hailed as “the reincarnation of Wenquxing”
Then he recites the Communist Manifesto in front of everyone, and the court historians frantically write down: “The ancient sage ruler's words of wisdom on governing the realm.”
Shen Yan's thoughts: I just want to lie flat, but the whole world is forcing me to become a big shot.
Worse, within twenty-four hours of every show-off, he is guaranteed to suffer a spectacular public embarrassment: reciting modern poetry, doing group dances, singing rap to repel enemies...
Enemy: This man is terrifying!
Shen Yan: No, I'm just a graduate student who can't finish his thesis...
System: Ding! Host detected attempting to lie flat. Activating [Cosmic-Level Show-Off Mode] by force.
There are plenty of tragic twists later on, so read with caution!!
