[Laid-Back Protagonist] [System] [Empress Development] [Misunderstanding Comedy] [Lighthearted and Funny]
My name is Chen Ping. After transmigrating, I became the most useless odd-job worker in the Qingyun Sect. My only task each day is to catch a few fish from the little ditch behind the mountain for dinner. My fellow disciples are all working themselves to the bone, while I’m the only one lying flat.
Then one day, I awakened the [Cause-and-Effect Fishing System]. As long as I have a fishing rod, I can catch anything that is the “effect” of a “cause.” I figured I’d reel in a fat fish for an extra helping at dinner, but my first cast pulled up a woman covered in blood, her clothes in tatters. On the brink of death, she clutched my trouser leg and summoned the last of her strength to say, “Save me... I can give you anything.”
I was terrified. For all I knew, she might be trying to scam me! But the System’s prompt exploded in my head: “Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve caught the ‘Dying Empress,’ an emperor’s cause rarely seen in ten thousand years. Would you like to bind her as your ‘Dao Companion Fruit’?”
I was dumbstruck. A Dao companion? Was someone like me, a mere odd-job worker, even worthy? Worse still, when she woke up, she had amnesia. She pointed at me with a fierce, childish glare and said, “You’re the one who fished me up, so you’re responsible for taking care of me from now on!” Help! I only wanted to fish in peace. How did I end up fishing an empress out of the water and making her my wife?
