I Only Want to Scrape By and Live Like a Slacker, Yet the Prince of Yan Spoils Me

[System + Ancient-Era Fantasy + Laid-Back Princess Consort + Scheming Devotion]

What should you do if you wake up as the daughter of the Ming dynasty's greatest general, are set to marry Zhu Di, the future “rebel emperor,” from the start, and are destined to die young according to history?

Su Qingqing, who worked herself to death in her previous life with a 996 schedule, says: Competing for favor is out of the question, and building a career is too exhausting. She'd rather lie flat at the Prince of Yan's residence and keep herself alive.

Who knew she'd accidentally bind herself to the “Lie-Flat Devotion System”? As long as she lies flat instead of competing for favor and earns Zhu Di's sincere affection, she can trigger a massive bonus reward!

And so, the Ming dynasty's way of life grew increasingly absurd.

While the secondary consorts bend over backward to curry favor, she lounges in the sun and casually gets a set of plans for high-yield rice.

With Emperor Jianwen's army bearing down on them to abolish the princely fiefs, she snacks on melon seeds and sips tea while the System quietly offers her plans to improve the Shenjiying's firearms.

She'd only wanted to stay alive, but by lying flat, she ended up carrying the Prince of Yan's residence and the entire Ming dynasty to victory.

Watching his princess consort ignore everything yet somehow foresee the future and produce miraculous inventions, Zhu Di's gaze grows increasingly possessive and intense.

When the Yongle Emperor finally ascends the throne and all the court officials accuse the empress of interfering in politics, Zhu Di draws his sword and sneers, “Half of my realm was won by Miaoyun! Who dares say another word?”

And Xu Miaoyun, spoiled beyond belief, looks at the System panel's final countdown to “Changing the Fate of an Early Death” and sighs silently...

Wasn't she only supposed to lie low and stay alive? Can she really keep being a laid-back fish to the very end?
