In her previous life, Yan Xiaolan was a workaholic office drone who stayed up every night grinding away at PowerPoint presentations. Then she suddenly ran out of breath and found herself back in the year she was five.
She thought she'd spend this life with food brought straight to her, lounging around and doing nothing. But her mother, who was determined to see her daughter succeed, immediately pulled out two flyers for tutoring classes. “Xiaolan, do you want intensive spoken English or mental arithmetic?”
Yan Xiaolan refused to get caught up in the rat race without a second thought, and that somehow activated the [Life Development System]!
The System doesn't require fighting monsters or clearing levels. The only way to level up is to experience everyday life.
“One slurp of spicy red-oil noodles, and your stamina goes up by one!”
“Climb the wildly twisting Eighteen Steps, and you can even unlock the [Mountain City Living Map] skill!”
“Help the henpecked old man put a heartless vendor in his place, and your intelligence goes up by two!”
To escape the fate of being sent to kindergarten and cram school to be “disciplined,” Yan Xiaolan had no choice but to step up herself.
Putting her office-honed mind and top-notch bookkeeping skills to work, she took her foolish dad and clever mom around this lively mountain city, cooking, complaining, and teaching a lesson to any rival who dared cross her.
No one expected that a shabby little diner on the verge of closing would, thanks to her efforts, become a high-end private restaurant halfway up the hills of Jiangbei, bringing in a fortune every day and drawing crowds of rich patrons eager to get a table.
This is the heartwarming yet hardcore story of a five-year-old who only wanted to lie flat in peace, but accidentally turned her whole family into the richest people around.
Yan Xiaolan says, “Adults have to choose, but I'm five. I just want to lie flat and eat at max level!”
