[The blurb is in first person, the main story is in third person]
My name is Cheng Yunwei, and I'm a good person.
Being the good person I am, I have a grand dream: to think about benefiting the whole world every single moment!!!
Sadly, I can't make it happen now, because I'm dead.
But even in death, I have a choice to make. A glowing egg tells me it's a System, and it wants to bind me as its Host.
I ask it, if I bind with it, can it help me fulfill my life's ambition of "benefiting the whole world"?
Unfortunately, it says it's a "Life of Slacking System." It only handles slacking, not hard work.
We clearly don't see eye to eye, so I'm about to refuse it. But then a huge, eighteen-meter cleaver suddenly appears in the egg's hand. It holds the blade to my neck and gives me two options: "Today, either you die, or I bind you."
May I ask where my choice is?
Though I love working hard, I'm also the sort of person who knows how to read the room. I swallowed my humiliation and bound myself to it.
Then it took me to transmigrate into a xianxia world.
Still swallowing my humiliation, I decided to set aside my drive and slack off for a while.
What? You say Junior Brother is framing me to hide his identity as a member of the demon clan?
Swallowing my humiliation, I decided to let myself be framed. I looked at him with deep sorrow in my eyes, but still resolved to do a good deed for the day by taking the blame for him. "That's right, I'm the spy."
Everyone: "..." Could you at least try to hide that completely obvious look in your eyes?
[Ding! Slacking points +10. This task-taker is a first-time task-taker. Reward: one "Comeback Against the Odds" buff.]
Then my Master, who was the very embodiment of the buff, suddenly appeared from the sky atop rainbow clouds, slapped Junior Brother half to death, and rolled his eyes elegantly. "Oh, please. You?"
Me: "..." Well, what can I do? I'm a good person, after all. It's my duty to care for my crazy Master.
System: "..." I often feel ashamed that I can't match your shamelessness.
What? You say the newly initiated nephew disciple wants to use me to steal the sect's formation diagram, then kill me to cover his tracks?
I looked at my seemingly gentle and harmless young nephew disciple, then turned and walked into the library where the formation diagram was kept.
An hour later, true to the principles of my slacker life, I successfully fell asleep on the library table.
After all, looking for things is tedious and exhausting, and it doesn't fit my current persona.
The Slacking System was very pleased. That's right, this is exactly what we should be doing.
But while I was sleeping, someone woke me up.
I opened my eyes and saw my Master, who was always acting crazy and taking advantage of me, smile gently at me.
Me: "..." All right, it's clear this crazy Master is up to no good.
My gentle Master handed me a cup of tea. Yes, a cup of tea with something added to it.
System reminder: [Ding! Host is about to face a chastity crisis. You have two choices. 1. Drink the tea voluntarily: Slacking points +100. 2. Drink the tea involuntarily: Slacking points +0.]
Me: "...Are you sure you're a legitimate System?"
[An ostensibly laid-back but actually troublemaking "good guy" seme x an ostensibly crazy but actually touch-starved, scheming uke]
Thesis: Study hard and make progress every day
