Jiang Ran transmigrated, and even got a System. He was at the age when he should be working hard.
But after marrying the young songstress Lu Xinyue, daughter of an entertainment company chairman, he settled into a life of lying flat and doing the bare minimum.
Why bother covering songs or becoming a superstar? Not interested.
Wouldn't it be nicer to take a walk, play with the dog, and go fishing every day?
He thought this kind of life would go on forever,
but one day, after his company suffered extremely unfair treatment, Lu Xinyue pushed Jiang Ran onto a music variety show.
Jiang Ran, however, treated the show like a job: nine to five, no overtime, and plenty of slacking off.
Teammates: Does anyone get us? What kind of team captain gives up the front row, runs to the back to sleep, and even uses me to block the camera?
Mentors: He's the most impressive contestant I've ever seen. He actually eats sunflower seeds right in front of the cameras.
Audience: Why is there a spectator standing onstage at the finals?
Rivals: This guy's our opponent? We're guaranteed to win.
But Jiang Ran perfectly demonstrated what it means to slack off without actually being bad at what you do.
His song "Legend" showed the online world what beauty could be.
His song "The Drunken Concubine" brought traditional opera, which should have become a relic of the age, back into the public eye.
His song "As You Wish" let the online world hear the sound of a flourishing age.
His rivals were dumbfounded: You said you were here to slack off!
So the music show ended, and Jiang Ran planned to go back to lying flat and doing the bare minimum.
But the online masses wouldn't let him.
"Jiang Ran, stop slacking off and get back here to work overtime!"
