Siheyuan: I'm the Ultimate Stand-In

Lin Ping'an, a young man from Blue Star, is so happy that he laughs himself to death in his sleep. When he wakes, he discovers that he has transmigrated into the body of a minor character in Love in the Courtyard, a martyr's descendant with an impeccable background.

But the foolish boy insists on becoming a free and unrestrained hero, leaves home, and eventually starves to death in bed.

As Lin Ping'an wonders whether he should go back, admit his mistake, and lie flat through retirement, a System arrives with a super-space.

Ding! A character from the story has been detected: Jia Zhangshi. A story mission is now being issued.

“Jia Zhangshi is lazy and greedy, and does no work. How can that be allowed?”

“Host, use any means necessary to make Jia Zhangshi support herself and stop being a good-for-nothing freeloader.”

“Reward for completion: +1 Space Anchor.”

“Yi Zhonghai, the Supreme Moralist, is grooming Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age, and training Silly Zhu as a backup. He's doing all this for his retirement plan. How can that be allowed?”

“Host, use any means necessary to make Yi Zhonghai abandon his retirement plan. Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. Providing for yourself in your old age is what a proper childless person should do.”

“Reward for completion: +2 Space Anchors.”

“Silly Zhu, the Supreme Simp, is infatuated with the married Qin Huairu. He's clearly morally corrupt. How can that be allowed?”

“Host, use any means necessary to make Silly Zhu stop being a simp. If that doesn't work, use your hands.”

Looking at these ridiculous missions, Lin Ping'an just wants to hit someone.

What the hell kind of System missions are these? I don't want them. Let's just lie flat.

On his way past the neighborhood relief center, he picks up twin sisters who fled famine, and begins a lazy life where he can't quite lie flat, but every leaf in the flower garden seems to stick to him.
