I Became the Male Lead's Younger Sibling in a CEO Novel, So I'll Lie Flat and Enjoy My Rich Life

Yao Nuo, heiress to the Yao Group, falls into a deep coma for three years during her final year of high school. In truth, her soul had left her body to complete the System's forced missions in another world. When the missions end and the System unbinds, she not only returns to her healed body, but also gains top-tier perfumery talent. She unexpectedly discovers the truth: she and her childhood friend Gu Jin are tragic cannon fodder in a CEO romance novel.

According to the original plot, the two will get caught up in a power struggle within the Gu family, ultimately leaving the Yao family bankrupt and Gu Jin exiled to a distant land, with a lifetime of regret. Only Gu Xiao, the eldest son of the Gu family, is the destined male lead.

Knowing the fate awaiting them, Yao Nuo decides to defy it. She chooses to step away from the rat race of the wealthy and avoid power struggles altogether. What others see as lying flat and giving up is really a clear-eyed choice about how she wants to live. Gu Jin, who has watched over her for three years, is willing to give up the pursuit of fame and fortune and escape their predetermined fate with her.

With the power struggle still lurking, the two quietly root out internal threats and bring stability to the family. They don't chase fame or fight for power. They devote themselves to what they love and stay true to their hearts, rewriting their cannon-fodder fate with an easygoing, clear-eyed approach to life. They turn the tumultuous years of a wealthy family into a blissful, peaceful daily life dedicated to preserving traditional intangible cultural heritage.
