Su Ying is a corporate drone at the very bottom of the ladder.
Working from 8 am to 6 pm, with just one day off a week, she earns a monthly salary of three thousand yuan—without even the basic social insurance and housing fund. To make matters worse, in an increasingly bleak economic climate, her boss vanished without a trace, leaving her penniless.
As if that weren’t enough, her landlord began hounding her for rent. Glancing at the balance in her bank account—less than four figures—she felt as though the sky had fallen.
Just as she was beginning to think that life was nothing but a series of ups and downs, downs, downs, downs, downs, downs, downs, downs….until
she discovered she’d won the jackpot: five million after tax!
Su Ying decided on the spot to take early retirement and lie flat on her back.
From then on, she lived the laid-back life she’d always dreamed of:
buying a house and a car, growing vegetables and tending to flowers, planning for the future,
and completely reinventing herself in the way she’d always wanted.
Later, she found that her anxiety had mysteriously vanished,
and when the man she’d had a secret crush on for six years asked her out, she accepted without hesitation,
and, unsurprisingly, ended up with a boyfriend who was the epitome of devotion.
She ran her fingers over his toned abs and looked up at his impeccably handsome face.
Hmm… having someone by my side on this path of ‘lying flat’ seems rather nicer.

Su Jiayu was the quintessential model young man within the system.
Good looks, a good job, a good income, a good personality, and a good family—people were constantly introducing potential partners to him, not least of whom were top-tier all-rounders.
But he politely turned them all down.
Simply because he had a junior sister in the gaming world with whom he’d spent every waking moment for six years.
His junior sister was innocent and adorable, yet had extremely high standards. Even with Su Jiayu’s many advantages—towering at 193cm and boasting a six-pack—he still failed to catch her eye.
It wasn’t until his mother forced him into a blind date, compelling him to face the reality of his future, that he sent another tentative signal to his junior sister.
Upon meeting her, the junior sister proved even more adorable than he’d imagined—petite, innocent and charming.
She was perfect in every way, save for being overly sensitive and self-tormenting, speaking in half-truths and saying one thing whilst meaning another.
Fortunately, Su Jiayu considered himself highly perceptive, able to read her unspoken thoughts at a glance.
They say that sensitive, self-tormenting people need an emotionally stable partner,
and that those who are a bit of a handful need a lover who won’t go away.
Su Jiayu: What a coincidence—that’s exactly me.

Side Story:
After they got together, some gossip started circulating at Su Jiayu’s workplace, saying that with such excellent credentials, how on earth had he ended up being swept off his feet by a yellow-haired girl.
Su Ying: Thanks for the mention. I’m the yellow-haired girl in question. I’ve just won five million, and I’m currently snuggling up to the Young Master’s six-pack.
