Bound to a Lie-Flat System, I Become a Full-Time Tycoon

Lin Xian, the protagonist, is a modern-day slacker who lives by the motto “lying flat is the only way.” After his gold-digging ex-girlfriend publicly humiliates him, he loses heart and vows, “I’ll never work hard again.” Then he unexpectedly activates the [Free-Ride System]. Its rewards are absurd: whenever the Host “gives up,” “slacks off,” “shirks work,” or even “sleeps,” he accumulates “negative emotion points” that can be exchanged for anything from everyday skills to superhuman physical abilities, business instincts, and artistic inspiration. To maintain his “I don’t work hard” persona and earn more points, Lin Xian has no choice but to start “acting like he’s trying.” He signs in at antique stalls and finds hidden treasures, sleeps in the library yet “realizes” the secrets of investment, and slacks off at the gym while building a top-tier physique. He only wants to quietly enjoy the System’s perks, but his gold-digging ex-girlfriend Su Muqing and her new, wealthy boyfriend keep showing up to provoke him, hoping to see him make a fool of himself. Lin Xian is forced to reveal his abilities “by accident” time and again, delivering face-slapping comebacks. From a loser everyone laughs at, he gradually becomes a mysterious master who seems unfathomable, lazy, and capable of anything. The story follows how he carefully maintains his “laid-back slacker” facade while handling one provocation and challenge after another, shifting between showing off and genuine mastery, until he ultimately uncovers the truth behind the System and redefines success and life.
