Romance included, faux System, no overpowered golden finger, relying entirely on her own hard work.
Le Wuyou is a star employee in modern society, a top-quality corporate workhorse. One late night, while rushing to finish a project, she gets an ad:
“Quit grinding through 996-hour workdays in the mortal realm. Come to the cultivation realm for a happy life! Stop being a workhorse down here and come lie flat as an immortal!”
After that, she collapses and doesn't wake up.
When she opens her eyes, she discovers she's transmigrated to the cultivation realm!
But before she gets the standard golden finger that comes with transmigration, she's driven to the brink of madness.
She's forced to take the blame for a massacre that wiped out a whole clan, and endure a century of imprisonment. Her ambition to make something of herself is ground down to nothing.
After escaping, all she wants is to lie flat in the human realm and coast through life. But who could have guessed that the mess in the cultivation realm would keep chasing her down? Even the perfectly peaceful human realm is tainted by demonic energy from the cultivation realm.
Everyone she cares about dies because of the demonic energy. The human realm is about to become a living hell, and only then does her golden finger finally arrive.
Le Wuyou: “So now you decide to show up and feed the baby.”
But what else can she do? If she doesn't follow its instructions, she'll turn into a mule and spend her whole life toiling away.
She has no choice but to return to the cultivation realm with this unconventional golden finger.
That day, the title of Sleep God spreads throughout the cultivation realm. Everyone learns that Kunlun Mountain has a disciple who cultivates the Way of Sleep.
From then on, Kunlun Mountain's daily refrain is:
“Junior Sister Le, stop sleeping! Get up and cultivate!”
And Le Wuyou always carries her battered sword, “Pillow.” Tired in a secret realm? Sleep.
Tired in a fight? Sleep.
Tired while being kidnapped? Sleep.
Tired during the sect competition? Sleep.
By sleeping, Le Wuyou becomes the youngest cultivator in the realm to reach the Deification stage. A craze for imitation sweeps the cultivation realm, and disciples everywhere start sleeping on the job.
Their elders roar in frustration: “Why are you sleeping? Get up and cultivate!”
Le Wuyou just shakes her head. “There's no such thing as gaining cultivation by sleeping. I trained it, one sword stroke at a time! Young people, there's no shortcut to cultivation.”
Later, she discovers that the entire cultivation realm is one enormous slaughterhouse, and she's the fattest pig being raised there!
