Reader's guide:

Lighthearted and mindless, with comedy at the forefront.

There are no absolutely good or bad people. The characters are all pretty silly.

It's a little unrealistic. As long as it's fun, that's all that matters!

So let's collect everyone's brains up front. Thanks for your cooperation, mwah mwah mwah!

Xia Zhihe lay flat and starved to death during the apocalypse. When she woke up, she found she'd become an actress about to be dropped by her company, and had been forced to bind herself to a deadbeat System.

Xia Zhihe: You can drop me, but pay me five million first.

Just as Xia Zhihe had taken the money and was about to lie flat, the System suddenly told her to become a top-tier star by farming.

Xia Zhihe: What!! No way!

System: As long as you complete your tasks, I'll make sure you have everything you need for the rest of your life. Money, good food, men: you'll have anything you want!

Xia Zhihe: I'm in, boss! I love farming. Farming makes me happy. So when do I get all that?

System: Young lady, don't get ahead of yourself. Here's a gachapon machine to play with first.

She looked at the deluxe little tomatoes, ultra-white lemons, pineapple peaches, and even a collectible-figure vegetable person she'd rolled. What kind of ridiculous stuff was this?

The biggest empty promise in the world is the one your boss makes...

One day, netizens suddenly noticed that Xia Zhihe, who'd debuted five years ago and was still a nobody, had opened an online shop selling fruits and vegetables. The prices were, well, something else.

Netizens: Has she gone broke? An 888-yuan lemon? How are these deluxe little tomatoes any different from the ones at the supermarket? I've never seen a peach that tastes like pineapple. And what even is a collectible-figure vegetable person?

Everyone thought Xia Zhihe had lost her mind after leaving the entertainment industry, until some curious netizens placed orders...

Netizen 1: Holy crap!! I really got fairer after eating this lemon, faster than with those whitening bottles!

Netizen 2: The elderly person in my family hasn't had much of an appetite lately, but after eating those little tomatoes, they've perked right up.

Netizen 3: Thanks for asking. I just got off a plane. I'm allergic to pineapple, the kind that lands you in the ICU. I never thought I'd get to eat a peach that tastes like pineapple. Worth it.

Netizen 4: The blogger is a genius. My vegetable wife is so beautiful. Aside from her short shelf life, her face looks like it was cut straight out of a sheet of paper!!

Xia Zhihe became an overnight sensation. Countless people rushed in, and her online shop crashed from the traffic.

After a night of heavy drinking, Gu Jingyi was woken early in the morning by his grandfather's relentless calls, followed by a scolding.

Grandfather: All you do is sleep! You've got no ambition at all. All day long, you do nothing but sleep or go out drinking. Look at the young woman next door. How did I end up with such a useless grandson?

Gu Jingyi: ... It's only six in the morning, for crying out loud!!

Wanting to see for himself who had his grandfather singing her praises so much, Gu Jingyi arrived at the villa community bright and early.

Gu Jingyi: Are you the one my grandfather keeps praising for being so hardworking?

Xia Zhihe looked at the young man with multicolored hair and took a bite of the persimmon in her hand.

Xia Zhihe: I don't know who your grandfather is, but that seedling under your foot costs 200,000. Cash or scan to pay?

You Qian transmigrated and got bound to a System.

[Congratulations, Host, you've been bound to the Demon King System. Our goal is to make the whole world our enemy!!]

You Qian: Thank goodness, I just transmigrated and I'm about to die! Who the heck wants to make the whole world their enemy?!

"I'm not doing it!"

System: If you don't, you'll die~

After snatching a bun from a little beggar hiding in a corner, You Qian felt she might never be able to go back...

And so...

She completely gave up!

She goes to the Lingjian Sect to stir up cutthroat competition, to the Hehuan Sect to promote pure love, and to the Demonic Cult to run a pyramid scheme.

Lingjian Sect---

A no-name sword sect, ranked 108th and known for its scientific sword-training regimen from nine to five. Then a workaholic showed up, practicing swordsmanship on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and cultivation techniques on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, day and night alike, making the Lingjian Sect disciples suffer terribly.

The disciples: Big sis, don't you sleep? Is this really necessary?! Is it really necessary!!!

[Obtained 9,999 negative emotion points from Lingjian Sect disciples]

You Qian looked at the negative emotion points the disciples provided every day and felt unsatisfied. It was just too slow!

And so...

[Today, I take pride in the cultivation world! Tomorrow, the cultivation world will take pride in me!]

[You're so young. How can you sleep? Get up and cultivate!!]

The disciples had thought they could take one day off a week. Then they looked at the banners plastered everywhere with dark circles under their eyes and were stunned...

Are you seriously not going to let us live?!

And then... they turned evil...

The disciples: If we're going to suffer, then... nobody gets to live! Hahahahahaha, everyone has to die!!!

No one knew when it began, but an obscure little sword sect suddenly rose to prominence, and its rise was terrifyingly fast. Whenever people asked how they did it, the sect members would usher them mysteriously into a little dark room...

That was the shortcut to becoming stronger!

You Qian came out smiling. "Welcome, new students. Please pay your tuition and buy your books first~"

Mo Jingran, a workaholic demon who worked five days and rested two, was constantly denounced by the outside world as inhuman. He didn't care and even enjoyed it a little. But lately, someone had stolen his spotlight...

He was very unhappy about it!

Until he met You Qian, and suddenly came to a realization...

"You really are more suited than I am to be the Demon King..."

You Qian: "You're too kind. Don't use your hobby to challenge my livelihood, thanks!"
