[Historical romance] + [lying flat] + [lighthearted comedy] + [mind reading] + [taking it easy]

“Marrying a second time and still having to serve my in-laws? Too much trouble. I choose to lie flat right here.”

As a divorced woman cast aside by her husband, her only golden finger is this: whenever she even thinks about trying hard, her head throbs with unbearable pain, forcing her to be a couch potato.

Just as her ex-husband’s family waits to laugh at her, while the noblewomen of the capital fight tooth and nail for a chance at a high-status marriage and compete relentlessly in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, the terrifying “Living Yama” of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household corners her against a wall, holding out property deeds and account books.

“Your Highness, I’m lazy. I can’t manage a household.” She rolls over.

“I’ll manage it. You just spend the money.”

“Your Highness, I’m greedy. I don’t want to follow any rules.” She yawns.

“Anyone who dares impose rules on you, I’ll cut them down.”

Peering through the crack in the door, her ex-husband’s family watches the once dutiful daughter-in-law being fed grapes by a man with power over the entire court. The whole family faints in tears. “This isn’t how the story is supposed to go! How can she win just by lying there?!”
