After dying from overwork, Gu Nanxi bound herself to a "Kind Mother System" and transmigrated into a book as the matriarch of a Marquis's household. The entire household was filled with villains, and in the end, the whole family was executed. Whether dying early or late, death was inevitable; she might as well lie flat and wait for it. Her indecisive eldest son was a simp for a woman he could never have, eventually squandering the family fortune and losing his life for a merchant's daughter. After Gu Nanxi transmigrated, he was no longer indecisive, nor did he chase after the merchant's daughter. Instead, he followed Gu Nanxi every day clutching "Five Years of Spring Exams and Three Years of Mock Tests," saying, "Mother, the teacher said parents need to sign the exam papers. Hurry and sign them!" Her sickly second son was desperate to venture into the martial arts world, only to be framed by a treacherous master, bringing ruin to the entire family. Gu Nanxi pulled the second son down to lie in the sun and read martial arts novels: "You'd be better off walking around the fields more often. You might save a refugee and end up being a master!" The second son's eyes lit up: "Mother makes sense!" Her youngest daughter, who was obsessed with becoming Empress, worked tirelessly to stir up trouble for the Imperial Concubine, only to end up relegated to the Cold Palace. Gu Nanxi tossed the daughter the keys to the household management and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems": "If you cannot even clean a single room, how can you sweep the world?" The Kind Mother System collapsed: "Is that how you're supposed to use the secret manuals I gave you? Since when is this how a kind mother behaves?" Gu Nanxi could lie down for twenty hours a day, using the remaining four hours to eat: "You do it then, if you're so capable." Gu Nanxi's "lying flat" lifestyle sent the entire Marquis's household into a state of chaos. Unexpectedly, her eldest son became the youngest Grand Secretary, her second son became a general guarding the border, and her youngest daughter became a renowned virtuous Empress.
