Gu Yuan, a worker ground down by the 996 schedule, finally quits her job and returns to her hometown for a lovely pastoral life!
Then she faints from heatstroke while planting vegetables. When she wakes up again, she's become the famously lazy wife in an obscure village in ancient times!
She's also been forcibly bound to a system called the "001 Small Prosperity System."
She hates working :)
The System tells her that completing tasks will earn her points, which she can exchange for the supplies she needs.
Gu Yuan: Don't even think about making me work!
But then she looks around: hardworking parents, a drafty house, an empty rice jar, a frail little sister, a simple-minded older brother, and her own terrible reputation.
Gu Yuan almost wishes she could faint herself back to her old life, but things don't go as she hopes. She's still here.
With the mindset that a miserable life is better than no life at all, she starts clearing the task list.
[Clear the wasteland and receive a set of farming tools!]
To get the reward, Gu Yuan decides to work in the fields.
She looks at the wasteland, which is covered in nothing but hard rocks, and tosses her hoe aside... She's done!
The next moment, she feels as if she's been electrocuted, and faints again!
The Gu family is scared half to death.
Once Gu Yuan comes around, she tries to throw down her hoe again, then promptly faints in a flash!
Gu Yuan finally behaves herself!
[Seed sowing complete. Congratulations, player, on making spicy mixed vegetables. You receive one packet of Chinese cabbage seeds!]
[Fertilizing complete. You receive...]
She clears the tasks one by one. The dilapidated house gets a complete set of bricks and tiles, and even the thinnest little sister grows plump and rosy-cheeked.
The villagers all say, "The Gu family's wife has changed her ways. She even knows to clear the land and farm for her family now!"
As Gu Yuan gazes at her family's hundred mu of fertile fields, she feels immensely pleased. She's even thinking that one day she might take in a farmer as her live-in husband, when the neighbor boy who always helps her suddenly shows up at her house with the childhood betrothal agreement. His eyes are red as he stares at her. "Yuanyuan, are you going to be a heartless man?"
