☆☆Coming soon: The Workaholic Careerist Gets Bound to a Slacker System. Synopsis at the bottom
Ji Yi transmigrated into an interstellar world with little knowledge of ancient civilization, only to find himself in a desperate situation: his lease was up, he had no money or food, and he couldn't find work.
As luck would have it, a show searching for cultural heritage was recruiting ordinary people online.
As a bearer of intangible cultural heritage, Ji Yi was overjoyed: What a coincidence!
He sent in his application right away. The director noticed his good looks, recognized his potential, and signed him, slotting him into the show as a pretty face.
But...
When a small-time influencer challenged him with a clumsy guzheng tune, Ji Yi sat down on the spot in a full Han-style outfit. His rendition of High Mountains and Flowing Water stunned the interstellar internet, and netizens called him a "heavenly immortal brother." He became an overnight sensation.
Think that's the end of it?
When making sugar paintings, Ji Yi took his time. In less than half a minute, a lifelike dragon leaped into being. He then drew all kinds of animals one after another, earning the admiration of his fellow contestants, who started calling him "bro" of their own accord.
When he practiced calligraphy, his fluid cursive style was derided as random scribbling. But the very next moment, a calligraphy master sought him out, begging to become his apprentice, and another round of face-slapping followed.
At an embroidery exhibition, he demonstrated the techniques of Suzhou, Hunan, Guangdong, and Sichuan embroidery, among others, sparking a new wave of enthusiasm for traditional embroidery across the stars.
Looking at the fans behind him, calling him "big brother," "hubby," and even "wife," Ji Yi said innocently, "I was only trying to survive."
The fans were furious. "Who tries to survive like that?!"
Later, when the show ended, Ji Yi opened a handicraft shop. Countless people came to study under him, but no one ever challenged him or caused trouble.
Only then did people realize that the person who had opened the shop with Ji Yi and stayed by his side from beginning to end was a legendary business tycoon!
The fans: We get it. We're shipping them.
Notes: 1. I'm a beginner writer, the villains are dumbed down, and the author's intelligence is limited, so please be gentle qaq
2. I usually reply to comments. Feel free to point out any problems and I'll make changes, but could you be a tiny bit nicer about it? The author is a bit sensitive ???
3. Thanks for reading, my dears. Sending love~
…Coming Soon
The protagonist is a bona fide workaholic. Every day, he's either cultivating immortality or on his way to a fight. Through sheer force of will, he reached the pinnacle of life, just one step away from becoming a god.
Then, for no apparent reason, he was struck dead.
Given a second chance, he was about to continue working himself to the top as before when a strange voice suddenly spoke by his ear.
"Congratulations, you've been bound to the Slacker System. The more you slack off, the more Heavenly Treasures you'll get!"
The protagonist: What? What is this?
The protagonist ignored it. His first step after being reborn was to take brutal revenge on the enemy who had crippled him in his previous life.
Just then, a lazy voice sounded beside his ear:
"Don't move yet."
The protagonist froze for a moment. In that brief instant, a meteor suddenly struck the enemy before him, and a golden Heavenly Treasure even appeared automatically.
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You've obtained a Heavenly-grade Soul-Cleansing Herb, which can be used to cleanse your meridians (Note: painless version)."
The protagonist: ??
His second step after being reborn was to reclaim everything he'd lost in his previous life.
But before he could do anything, all the weapons and spiritual treasures that had been seized from him in his previous life somehow came to him on their own.
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You've obtained a Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure."
"Congratulations on successfully slacking off. You've obtained a top-grade spirit beast and its treasure trove."
"Congratulations..."
The protagonist: ???
His third step after being reborn...
No! There was no third step! He'd already gotten everything he needed!
With nothing to do and countless Heavenly Treasures in his hands, the protagonist had wealth in his spirit ring that he would never even have dared to dream of in his previous life. For once, he felt a little empty and lost.
Forced to distract himself, he angrily demanded of the voice in his mind: Who are you, exactly?!
The voice answered lazily, with a smile: The one who'll help you reach the pinnacle of life without lifting a finger.
A powerful, tragic, workaholic protagonist who only wants to strive for greatness vs. a System transmigrator love interest who only wants the protagonist to live an easy, carefree life.
That's right, the love interest is the System ^_^
Theme: Promoting China's excellent traditional culture
Popular science: Currently, those who are eligible to enter the list of national-level representative projects and representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage need to have inherited the heritage for more than 100 years, inherited the genealogy for more than five generations, and have a clear inheritance pedigree. In addition, the intangible cultural heritage items stipulated in my country's "Intangible Cultural Heritage Law" are divided into ten categories: traditional literature, traditional music, traditional drama, traditional dance, folk art, traditional fine arts, traditional skills, traditional sports, competitions and games, traditional medicine, and folk customs.
First Look: Hala Star
Second sight: Raha star
A few seconds later: Hala Shaoxing

Is there one mini-boss in each level? There are so many cannon fodders.
Are there any extras? Want to see
It's too risky. If the literature about Tongcaohua in the interstellar era is really lost, wouldn't the protagonist be left in the dark?
You guys seem to really enjoy interacting with the comment section.
Ah! It feels like the protagonist is either "fighting" with others or on the way to "fighting" with others when he comes here, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
The origin of Tongcaohua is recorded by Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty in "Shijiyuan". However, at the time of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, it was only popular in the palace, and by the Northern Song Dynasty, it became popular among the people in the south.
"I have seen big words since I was a child", which really confuses the author~
Ren Liming has known her since she was a child. What is his daughter's name?
Open Book: Hara Star Close the Book: Sahara Star
