Mo Feiyue is an ordinary girl who's both a social recluse and a social butterfly. One ordinary day, something extraordinary happens: she accidentally steps on an ant and kills it, but the ant starts talking. As a modern girl who believes in science, she's stunned and nearly faints from fright.
Only later does she learn that there are many things in the world that cannot be spoken of.
As for the ant, it had only come out to sunbathe, and its true form is the director of the Space-Time Administration.
Poor Mo Feiyue gets dragged away by him and forced into a job.
She's weak and socially awkward, so all she can do is serve as a background character in different worlds, watching the various protagonists fall in love, cheering them on and applauding to make them happy.
As for Mo Feiyue, she thinks her future life is bound to be miserable. But then she unexpectedly gets bound to a little dummy. This little dummy doesn't seem very "loyal" to the Administration either, and spends every day slacking off and dreaming of being a lazy fish.
Still, that works out pretty well. She's frail and often sick, after all. But just as she thinks she can spend every day slacking off as a background character, why are so many protagonists acting strangely?
For example, the first world is about a rich young lady and a poor, top-scoring student.
But why does the young lady look at me strangely? And why isn't the top student poor at all? It even seems like he's into guys. Otherwise, why does he look at his roommate like that?
And why have his side couples and classmates started shipping them?
(The side couples are the protagonists' friends. Since the protagonists fall in love, they do too, serving as a foil.)
Whatever. I'm already a lazy fish. I don't feel like turning my life around. I just want to make sure I don't end up stuck to the pan.
Unexpectedly, the missions don't fail. Instead, through a series of mishaps, she blazes a new path for completing them.
Many years later, a lot of taskers call her a master, and she's completely baffled.
The slacking System is also baffled to find itself becoming a master among Systems.
World One: The White Swan and the Gray Crow
When the crescent moon hangs high among the stars, the sky is wrapped in black satin, driving away the light. Light and night embrace and intertwine.
The lilies in her hometown have never withered.
A crow born in the slums is a gray crow. The dusty gray crow meets the swan who belongs to her.
That swan has been looking for her for a very long time. In the crow's world, the swan is a sinner too. They are far too different.
She's a gray crow, not a white dove born in the heart of a utopia, and certainly not a white swan reborn from the ashes.
But the swan she meets is hers alone. That swan keeps waiting for her, for so long that her heart finally softens.
The crow wants to embrace the swan. She doesn't want to push her beloved away, because then she'd be a fool.
--That crow is all dusty and gray, and a bit of a fool. She doesn't stand out at all, but when I met her, I wanted to embrace her.
Our souls resonate. Light and darkness coexist. I found her, dusty and gray, brushed the dust off, and set her beside my bed. I don't believe she won't get some sunlight. Besides, she's a little sun herself. In my eyes, she's already sparkling.
Why should other people understand her? They're not like us. It's enough that I understand her.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She'll always shine in my eyes. If she ever gets covered in dust, I'll be there to pick her up.
(Heroine's version. The male lead's version is that a "poor" top student from the slums, who has turned dark, meets the god he has always looked up to.)
