Shen Qi died on the day her parents' will was announced.
Unlike other transmigrators, she had a System, but her main quest was to retire and enjoy a peaceful life.
In other words, the more she lay flat, the greater the rewards.
While other transmigrators were frantically busy with their System quests, Shen Qi was discussing with her System whether jellyfish were better cold-dressed or stir-fried.
Then one day, she accidentally killed the village bully and took a life. It took all she had to get away.
Shen Qi instinctively turned to the System for help, but the System, which had always answered her every request, fell silent for three days and then tossed her a drab, gray book as a "reward."
The words A History of the Xuan Clan caught her eye. Shen Qi read it at lightning speed and finally realized she was a disposable villain in a power-fantasy cultivation novel. If she behaved herself and lay flat, nothing would happen to her. If she kept courting death, the protagonist would dismember her and tear her limb from limb!
The System remained as calm and unruffled as ever. "Behave yourself, and I'll take care of you."
With that postmodern, domineering-CEO manner of speaking, the System almost made Shen Qi laugh out loud.
She raised an eyebrow. "Do you know that in our world, 'I'll take care of you' eventually turns into 'I took care of you'?"
The System: "..."
Shen Qi pointed to the line in the book that read, "Whoever obtains the Rainbow Ice rules the world," and asked the System, "Is that true?"
The System was silent for a moment, then said, "It is."
"Good." Shen Qi shut the book and held out her hand. "I want it."
The System: "..."
On her quest to become the greatest under heaven, Shen Qi met many other transmigrators. Some were bound to romance Systems and had to earn a specific level of affection. Others were bound to cultivation Systems and had to focus on training to avoid death...
When they heard about Shen Qi's System, they were all astonished and envious, sighing, "Lying flat is great, lying flat is wonderful. Your System must have come to repay a debt of gratitude."
Shen Qi alone remained calm. "The System is just a tool to me. What if it betrays me one day? I have to keep my fate in my own hands."
Everyone: "..." Is this what it means to have the wisdom of a great master? We are in awe, truly in awe.
The System: "...Could you at least not talk behind my back while I'm right here?"
*My take on a cultivation story with a System. The female lead has a strong sense of self-worth and is a nasty, lazy fish. If she can lie down, she'll never stand up. The story focuses mainly on romance.
*As usual, I'm writing the story I want to read. The romance is one-on-one in each stage, the female lead has experience while the male lead doesn't, and the male lead is strong while the female lead is weak.
Theme: Everyone has their own fate.
