Ji Tian sat in the several hundred square meter yard of her own home, staring up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle with melancholy.
She had transmigrated into a novel called "School Bully Loves Me Addicted," a Mary Sue campus story, becoming a minor character with low appearance rate and a tragic ending.
Her entire family was composed of villains, all of whom met with a terrible fate for antagonizing the protagonists of the book.
And she was implicated and ended up in jail, spending the rest of her life behind bars.
So tragic? Ji Tian refused! She wanted to reverse her fate, she wanted to turn over a new leaf, she wanted to change her destiny!
After igniting a fierce determination, a system called "Ultimate Sloth" in her mind issued a warning.
[Beep beep beep, detecting the Host engaging in serious behavior deviating from lazy ideology, red card warning once, exceeding three times, will directly erase the soul.]
A bucket of cold water immediately extinguished Ji Tian's enthusiasm, forcing her to spend her days in agony amongst a life of eating, drinking, and being merry.
After drinking a sip of chilled luxury coconut juice—even though one coconut was worth ten thousand—it still couldn't bring her happiness.
She sighed again as her phone rang; it was a video call from Father Ji and Mrs. Ji, who were vacationing far away in the Pacific.
Ji Tian answered the call, and Mrs. Ji's face, filled with worried tenderness, filled the screen instantly: "Good baby, are you feeling better from your illness?"
Ji Tian had transmigrated a week ago, and speaking of it was also unlucky. At school, because everyone had gone to watch a girl confess to the male lead, she, the unfortunate one, was walking by the artificial lake and got shoved in, causing her transition.
She nodded expressionlessly: "Pretty good, just that there aren't enough luxury coconuts."
Mrs. Ji immediately said, "Don't worry, Mommy will send you a thousand. No, let's turn Moon Bay into a coconut grove; let's start with planting ten thousand trees."
Ji Tian had never doubted the wealth of the Ji Family. She looked at Mrs. Ji with tearful eyes: "Thank you, Mom. You also have to be safe while you are out, everything should be the best, it's okay to spend a bit more money, if not used, it will be gone!"
Mrs. Ji didn't think too much, just felt that her daughter was sensible and adorable, and quickly agreed. In the end, Father Ji, with a strict face, told her to go to school the next day if she felt better.
Ji Tian responded listlessly: "Okay."
After hanging up, Aunt Wang, the housekeeper, came out and asked, "Miss, dinner is ready."
Ji Tian followed into the luxurious hall, which was decorated with a nouveau riche flair. Even the floors were inlaid with gold. Every time Ji Tian saw this floor, she felt it was a pity because in this book, five years later the Ji Family would go bankrupt, and this house would be auctioned off by the original male lead just to please the female lead.
The thought that this house was on a timer made Ji Tian wish she could dig out all the gold from between the bricks.
As she looked at the dinner table, which was filled with light but luxurious dishes, she asked, "Where's my eldest brother?"
"Mr. Ji is still working overtime at the company," replied Aunt Wang respectfully.
"And my second brother?"
"He's still working at the medical research institute."
"And my third brother?"
"Third young master went out with friends for a gathering and said he won't be back for dinner."
Ji Tian: "..."
Though they were villains, her family members were really the Kings of Competition.
In any case, since they were going to be brought down in the end, why not fully enjoy themselves while they still had the means instead of regretting it when it's too late?
Initially without much of an appetite, Ji Tian ended up eating three bowls of rice. While eating, her third brother, Ji Weinan, came back. He was dressed in garish punk clothes, with handsome features and a carefree demeanor, looking like an innocent fool without a worry in the world, exuding an air of clear stupidity.
In the book, because of his crush on the female lead, he was played by her in circles, and eventually turned from brotherly affection to becoming bitter enemies with the male lead.
Thinking of Ji Weinan's tragic end, Ji Tian looked at him with sympathy. Ji Weinan had never liked his sister; even though they were twins, she had a quiet demeanor, wasn't disruptive, and was practically invisible at school, so they didn't really connect.
So far, even when encountering each other at school, the siblings rarely greeted each other.
Ji Weinan was gleefully comfortable; he was too lazy to bother about looking after any sister.
But Ji Tian's gaze made him somewhat annoyed, "What's with that look, staring at me like that?"
Ji Tian silently observed his arrogance, comparable to someone worth two million five hundred and eighty thousand, and after a moment of silence, offered a lackluster compliment, "Noticing how handsome you are."
Ji Weinan glanced at her in surprise, not expecting his usually quiet and silent sister to have such a glib tongue. He flashed a confident smile, running his fingers through his hair, "My handsomeness is always on point."
Ji Tian: "..."
She figured it out, this third brother of hers wasn't just dim-witted, but also an awkward try-hard.
"Third brother, where did you go today?"
Perhaps because his sister wasn't as silent as usual that day, Ji Weinan was in a good mood and willing to chat with her. He went to the fridge, grabbed a cola, and said, "Hanging out with your Brother Yu at the Heavenly Life Club, had a few drinks. Met a girl there today, poor but with a huge temper."
Ji Weinan's tone was mocking, clearly finding the girl somewhat amusing.
But Ji Tian's alarm bells started ringing. The Bai Tingyu her brother mentioned was the male lead of this book, a rich and domineering man with a cool demeanor.
Following the law that the male protagonist must meet the female protagonist at the beginning of every book, the girl Ji Weinan and his friends encountered must be the female lead!
Was she not ready yet, and the plot was about to start?
Ji Tian stopped paying attention to him and rushed to her room in a panic, leaving Ji Weinan looking completely bewildered.
Once in her room, Ji Tian began to anxiously call out in her mind, "System, system! Come out!"
After waiting for about five minutes, her Laziness System sluggishly came online, yawning as if it had just woken up and replied listlessly, "What is it."
Ji Weinan urgently said, "How does the plot of this book progress? It seems like the female lead has appeared."
The Laziness System remained silent for a moment before slowly responding, "The plot has nothing to do with you. Your mission is to embrace slothfulness till the very end."
Ji Tian was close to despairing, "What am I going to do if I end up in jail in the end?!"
The Laziness System replied, "Then just find a new place to continue being slothful."
Ji Tian: "..." Thank you so much, my dear system.
"And, I have a name; I'm called King of Competition." Having said its last words, the Laziness System went offline.
Ji Tian: "..."
A Laziness System named King of Competition?
Compete, my ass!
"Ding ding ding, the Host has been detected insulting the System, Luck value -1!"
"..."
Online, it wasn't eager, but it sure was quick to punish.
As for this Luck value, Ji Tian was too lazy to delve into it since it didn't matter to someone as slothful as her.
She had realized it, this system was utterly useless, nothing but trash!
Finally accepting the truth, Ji Tian lay on her bed immersed in self-defeat, thinking that starting tomorrow, she would live a life above the rest!
Because if not cherished now, there would be no chance later.
The next day, Ji Tian was woken up by Aunt Wang; it was Monday, the day she went to school for studies.
Her school was a private aristocratic academy in Capital City called Imperial City Academy. Everyone who studied there was either rich or noble, and a portion were those with excellent grades but poor backgrounds, surviving these three years on the school's scholarship.
