I Really Just Want to Slacken Off, Not Get Promoted

Yansia, a fictional parallel world, is in a stage of development marked by comprehensive reform. Its core national policies are "revolutionizing administrative efficiency," "relieving burdens at the grassroots level," and "deepening law-based administration." The old system of promotion by seniority has been thoroughly dismantled, replaced by a selection mechanism where the capable rise and the mediocre fall, giving practical doers and problem-solvers a fast track to promotion.

Sui Yi scores highly on the civil service exam and gets into the government, hoping only to follow the rules and lead a peaceful life. By chance, he activates the Compliance-Based Slacking and Get-Rich System, but every promotion wipes out all his rewards!

He sticks to his duties, resists pointless formalities, and clocks out on time as required. He only wants to lie flat in peace, yet solving the problem of overburdening grassroots workers leads to one exceptional promotion after another.

Hilarious contrast all the way through: I really just want to lie flat in peace. I don't want to get promoted!
