In her previous life, Xue Yuyao worked herself to death at her desk, pulling a 996 schedule for a promotion and a raise. She could only feel that her life had been a complete waste.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the body of the second daughter of the Rui'an Marquis household, who shared her name.
No worries about food or clothes, and a monthly allowance to boot. What a deal!
Given another life, all she wants is to eat, drink, have fun, walk the dog, and tease the birds. She wants to lie flat and live like a contented slacker. What do marriage prospects, her birth family, or a respectable reputation have to do with her? Eating well and getting enough sleep is what matters.
Above her, her legitimate elder sister is peerlessly talented and beautiful. Below her, her concubine-born younger sister is eager to make her mark. There's no need for her to bring glory to the family.
Xue Yuyao lies flat with a perfectly clear conscience.
When the senior lady lectures her, she stays in bed.
When it's time to sample tea and arrange flowers, she pretends to be sick.
When the whole family meets young ladies and gentlemen, Xue Yuyao happily hides in a wardrobe and lies flat.
Her mental state is absolutely thriving. Ask her and she'll say she's a crazy lady, and if you push her any further, she'll run everyone over.
She thought she could lounge around comfortably until old age, but her father and mother decided she had hit her head and lost her mind. After talking it over, they arranged her marriage to Xie Yanxuan, the young son of Duke Xie.
The slacker gets angry: "I'm not marrying him."
"Our daughter is being foolish! The young son of Duke Xie may be carefree, frivolous, and good for nothing, but he has a fortune to his name. You two could spend the rest of your lives living off it!"
The slacker: "...Well, I suppose that's not out of the question."
After they marry, just as her parents said, they have mountains of gold and silver that they can't spend, and life couldn't be more comfortable.
But somehow, the longer she lies around, the more often someone is beside her, and... he's kind of annoying.
Xue Yuyao frowns. "Can't you lie on another bed?"
Xie Yanxuan, who had to get his act together and become an official to support his slacker, takes off his boots and climbs onto the bed. "My legs are broken. I can't."
