Gu Ruan, a corporate heiress who had spent twenty-eight years working herself to the bone, was sent away by her own younger brother on the very first day she took power. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a book as the doomed aunt of the great villain, the regent. The script had sealed her fate: she would die within three chapters.
When other people transmigrated as a villain’s relative, they panicked and clung to him all night, trying to change the plot. Gu Ruan came to one simple conclusion: after working herself to the bone, she’d have nothing to show for it. She might as well lie flat.

Perfect. Even the heavens had given her permission to slack off.
So she slept, watched the drama unfold, farmed, and made money. She even packed up the original owner’s elopement partner and sent him back, then slept right through the fatal drowning plot.
But then something strange happened…
Her gloomy, precocious nephew, a little villain destined to turn evil and destroy the world, was raised by her laid-back ways into a proper human being, and his corruption level plummeted.
The emotionless villainous power minister, his father, interpreted every time she slacked off as a sign of profound strategy, and his respect for her grew by the day.
The most over-the-top characters in the whole book decided together that their aunt was hatching a world-shaking master plan, and knelt waiting for her instructions.
Gu Ruan: ? I really just want to sleep.
