Blurb:

Xia Qianqian, owner of a milk tea shop, transmigrates into the future and becomes a D-list celebrity. Her boyfriend dumps her, her agent exploits her, and she is buried in debt...

In this technologically advanced future, handmade milk tea is an ancient craft on the verge of becoming intangible cultural heritage. It can even produce "happy elements" that change people's state of mind.

With no money to her name, Xia Qianqian decides to quit showbiz and save up to pay off her debts with her milk tea-making skills.

On the day her milk tea shop opens, a hater immediately gets the hashtag #ThatNobodyWillFailAtSellingAnything trending.

But then...

First order: Cake-and-ice-cream milk tea, rich with the taste of milk, successfully cures a famous director's chronic insomnia.

Second order: Taro-paste boba milk tea, with a hundred percent sugar content, helps a male celebrity who can't fall in love find success in his pursuit of romance.

Third order: Four Seasons Spring Green Tea, as refreshing as a spring breeze, gives a romance screenwriter who's run out of inspiration exactly what she needs.

After countless orders, Xia Qianqian's career opportunities keep improving, and her name becomes a sensation in the entertainment world. She even becomes a top-tier celebrity.

One day, Xia Qianqian steps out of her van, red lips and black hair, radiant and captivating, only to be "besieged" by haters again.

Xia Qianqian hides behind her bodyguards, only to hear the haters say, "Sis, we're hoping to open our own milk tea shops. Would you consider franchising?"

Jin Shangwu, a researcher abandoned by his institute, holds the research materials he has worked on all night, only to be accused of plagiarism.

With his dreams taken away, Jin Shangwu feels utterly dejected. Then he hears that his shop has been rented to a young woman who knows how to make milk tea.

So he decides to try the novel drink that can produce "happy elements": handmade milk tea.

He never expected that one sip would make it so addictive.

And even more addictive is the girl before him, watching him drink the milk tea with a radiant smile.

"This lost art of milk tea-making deserves proper study, so please let me stay."

"Sir, milk tea is wonderful, but don't drink too much."

Coming soon: "The Cannon Fodder Goes Viral by Slacking Off on a Workplace Variety Show"

Wen Zhongxin is reborn. She discovers she's nothing but a cannon-fodder supporting female character who works herself to the bone and eventually dies from overwork.

The System in her head tells her to be a couch potato this time around, and to just take it easy and slack off.

Wen Zhongxin: I can't keep pushing myself anymore. Slacking off should be easy, right?

On a variety show, the production team wants her to serve as a foil, making her coworkers look diligent. She doesn't care and happily enjoys the results herself.

They bet she'll land an impossible contract with a rival company. She doesn't care, and promptly hands in her resignation, reveals that she's the real heiress, and quits her role as a wage slave.

Her whole strategy is to slack off to the bitter end.

But why are her follower numbers shooting up?

*

The workplace variety show "My Eight-Hour Workday" becomes a smash hit across the internet, bringing all kinds of big shots together in the workplace. Wen Zhongxin, a nobody who barely gets any screen time, casually finds a partner and declares, "Whatever. I'm just going to slack off."

When they're asked to work overtime past the end of the workday, Wen Zhongxin and her partner ignore it and leave.

When they're asked to attend a weekend team-building event, Wen Zhongxin takes her partner home to lie around.

Their carefree way of working draws angry comments from netizens:

"Seriously? She gets paid and does no work! Is she a nepotism hire?"

"She doesn't understand workplace rules. She deserves to get fired!"

But later, as Wen Zhongxin signs more and more contracts and works more and more smoothly with her partner, the entertaining interactions between her and Lin Sen soon take the internet by storm:

[Who doesn't love a slacker beauty and the puppy who cleans up after her!]

[The anti-workplace-corporate-speak duo is the best!]

*

Lin Sen used to be the most conscientious worker around, until he met the slacker Wen Zhongxin.

All he could do was sigh helplessly and quietly shoulder the extra workload.

What could he do? Since she wanted to slack off, he could only be a little more understanding.

Theme: Live each day happily and healthily.
