After Returning from the Palace Struggle, I Became a Slacker

The new novel, When Three Crematoriums Arrive, is now available. Zhao Jiujiu transmigrated into an ancient romance novel one day. After spending thirty years navigating its schemes and intrigues, she finally returned to her own world. She didn't feel like doing anything anymore. She went back to the company, ready to be an unambitious couch potato, only to discover... There were only four employees left. Zhao Jiujiu: "???" Fine. She'd just lie around. As long as they paid her. Just then, the boss said, "Our company is going under." Zhao Jiujiu: "???" And so Zhao Jiujiu took the remaining employees into a live-action game made by some rich kid with more money than sense. They planned to be a bunch of couch potatoes there, all for a 3,000-yuan prize. Everyone else was like: "Follow and like for points!" Zhao Jiujiu: "The scenery here is lovely. Perfect for a nap." Everyone else was like: "How do we clear this level?" Zhao Jiujiu: "The fish here are nice and plump. We can catch some and steam them or make soup~" Until one day, a man in a sharp suit stood in front of her. "Your Highness has gotten even lazier, hasn't she?" Zhao Jiujiu scrambled to her feet and got back to work. Not long after, the CEO of some conglomerate was ousted in a coup. Zhao Jiujiu stared at the news, stunned. He really had been planning a coup all along!!!! Li Yan: "Your Highness jests. I have always acted for the sake of the people." Zhao Jiujiu thought it over, then nodded. The little emperor who had transmigrated alongside her: "Sis! Sis! Are you stupid or what?! He's lying to you! Lying!" The little emperor eyed the man warily. That bastard was definitely plotting a coup!!! Li Yan: "..." When Three Crematoriums Arrive Gu Cheng'an was a wrongly killed movie queen. When she transmigrated, the System told her that if she followed the storylines, she could live again in the end. Gu Cheng'an thought it over and decided to combine the plots and get everything done in one go. So she merged three books into one. The first book was an angsty romance about a heroine who saved a domineering CEO, only to have her sister take credit for it. The CEO routinely held her sister in his arms and berated Gu Cheng'an: "How could you push her down the stairs?!" His arms wrapped around the sister, who wept prettily. "Big Sis didn't mean to." As the heroine of the angsty romance, Gu Cheng'an gazed at them with tears in her eyes and a heart full of anguish. In the second book, a popular movie star mistook a newly famous actress for Gu Cheng'an's double. When the actress found out, she tearfully accused him: "So you were treating me as Gu Cheng'an's stand-in!" The movie star held her close. "I've realized that I've truly fallen in love with you." Thus Gu Cheng'an, playing the villainess, became insanely jealous of the rising star and schemed against her in secret. In the third book, her childhood friend, a talented elite who had once promised to be with her forever, guiltily told Gu Cheng'an, "I'm sorry. I just realized I've always thought of you as a little sister. The one I truly love is her." Still playing the villainess, Gu Cheng'an immediately gazed at her childhood friend and the sweet, innocent heiress with tearful, doe-eyed innocence. At first, the System's heart fluttered with anxiety, afraid the plan would go off the rails. Then it realized that a movie queen really was a movie queen! She pulled it off beautifully! But one day, the three male leads suddenly got together, completely off script. At last, the whole thing went off the rails. The domineering CEO stared at Gu Cheng'an as she sobbed her heart out to the movie star, his face dark as thunder. The movie star looked at the CEO in shock, then at Gu Cheng'an, whose tears were stuck in her eyes and wouldn't fall. A spasm of pain twisted his heart. The elite arrived, fists clenched, watching as two other men vied for the once-sweet girl next door. His eyes were bloodshot. Gu Cheng'an's heart fluttered with dread. She'd gone too far! She was done for! She was going to die! System: "!!!" "Quick, choose the domineering CEO! You're his heroine!!" Gu Cheng'an nodded, then chose the domineering CEO's... uncle. System: "???" The uncle: "???" One day, Zhuang Zhan just wanted to meet the person who had the power to toy with his nephew, the money tree, and the elite. Then somehow, he ended up with... A pure, innocent beauty pinning him against the wall, her slender, pale fingers lifting his chin. "Mr. Zhuang, I've got my eye on you." Zhuang Zhan: "..." Theme: Couch-potato living is no way to live.
