Su Youyou, the “veteran queen of slacking off” in the supporting-character department, is so hopelessly lazy that the Main System kicks her into the poor, hard-luck period-drama division.
She expects to spend her days bent over the fields, living on cornmeal buns. Instead, she plays the part of a delicate woman who can’t fend for herself, then lies flat on the abs of one rugged man and officer after another.
Sent down to the countryside? She flirts with a wild hunter bursting with raw masculinity until his eyes turn red. He pins her against a stack of wheat straw and whispers in her ear, “Comrade, you stirred me up and now you think you can run?”
A sacrificial pawn in a military marriage? The cold-faced battalion commander turns into a doting dad-type, drilling his troops by day and bringing hot water to wash her feet and massage her back at night. “Honey, the approval for our second child came through.”
There’s also a down-and-out fake heiress who meets a cunning landlord, and a charming widow who has a straightforward man who plays the pig to eat the tiger wrapped around her little finger...
Su Youyou: What happened to the hard times we were promised? This screenful of hormones, broad shoulders, and narrow waists is enough to make my legs go weak! System, I could lie flat in these period-drama beds for the rest of my life!
