【A cowardly female lead who loves to lie flat × A seemingly well-behaved and loyal male lead】
Qin Baoyao had a dream. In the dream, because of her spirit root, her parents and brother died, and the sect members became evil cultivators who were hunted down. She herself turned into an inhuman, ghost-like evil cultivator, and was finally utterly annihilated, her soul scattered.
She trembled after waking up, as the dream was too real. Thinking of the tragedy in her dream, which all stemmed from the obsession with improving her spirit root, she felt it would be better to be a small, useless person protected by everyone.
So, she exposed herself for taking prohibited medicine, and then, under everyone's exasperated and distressed gazes, began her "lying flat" life.
While others practiced swords, she lay on a tree munching on melon seeds, casually correcting her junior siblings' sword moves; when others took assessments, she reclined, drawing circles, scoring last place, but then paid to help the top ten refine their weapons; when others went on expeditions, she lay there sunbathing, focusing on being a useless person who didn't cause trouble, only responsible for taking out magical artifacts and elixirs.
Her junior siblings shed tears of envy, while her senior siblings cultivated even harder to protect her.
Facing verbal provocation from others:
Opponent: "Your whole family has supreme dual spirit roots, but you're just a waste."
Qin Baoyao, while saying, "Ah, yes, yes, yes," pulled out a pastry made from supreme herbs and popped it into her mouth, not forgetting to ask, "Do you have any?"
Facing an opponent in the grand competition who intended to kill her, Qin Baoyao fully armed herself, equipping various defensive artifacts.
Opponent spat blood: "You won't die without cheating?"
Qin Baoyao: "I'm an immortal second-generation; what's wrong with cheating a little?"
