I Went Back to the Village to Do Nothing, Then a Variety Show Made Me Trend

After five years of grinding through 996 workdays, Lin Ye quits without another job lined up and throws himself into the rundown old house in his hometown. The moment he steps through the courtyard gate, the Library of Myriad Worlds awakens, granting him all the entertainment and culture of past and present, along with the finest skills. All he wants is to take it easy, rest when the sun sets, and lie flat for the rest of his life. Who knew a hugely popular variety show would suddenly set up next door, with a camera accidentally sweeping across his peaceful little courtyard? He sips tea and reads, surrounded by birds and animals. His cooking amazes everyone, and even the little creatures from the mountains are especially fond of him. Overnight, the laid-back recluse goes viral across the internet. The show wraps up, but the buzz doesn’t fade. A chance encounter inspires a cool and aloof senior sister to start streaming from the countryside, and their easygoing daily life together sets the internet ablaze all over again. A top-tier star dating show even comes calling, hoping to poach this naturally charming civilian couple. Lin Ye: “I just want to quietly head back to the village and lie flat.”
