[Aloof and arrogant on the outside, lovesick and possessive on the inside male lead x seemingly foolish but actually clever female lead, healing + sweet and satisfying]
After being harshly berated by her boss for the nth time, Su Xiaojiu quits! She returns to her hometown and opens a guesthouse in a narrow alley with the meager savings she has left. What she doesn't expect is to meet her nemesis, Jiang Aohan. From then on, she's pulled into another world and witnesses all kinds of unusual stories.
The guesthouse is always filled with all sorts of visitors, all drawn by her reputation and seeking contracts to help solve their problems. Guests arrive from heaven, the underworld, and the human realm. In this guesthouse where all corners of the world converge, Jiang Aohan is treated like a precious household guardian. Su Xiaojiu dotes on him every day, but he's still not satisfied.
“Xiaojiu, when are we getting our marriage certificate?”
“Marriage certificates are just pieces of paper. You're a god. What do you need one for?”
“No, I want to get a human marriage certificate with you. Su Xiaojiu, you're still human, so you have to follow the rules of the mortal world.”
“Oh... but you're not human.”
“I'm not human, but I have everything humans have, and even things they don't, all fully functional. Why not give them a try?”
She instinctively tries to run, but he's already grabbed her shoulder and pinned her against the wall. Jiang Aohan is like a worm in her stomach, always able to predict her next move.
“Can't you indulge me just this once?” He rests his chin on her shoulder, his soft breath making her shiver. He is an ancient immortal sage, a wise man sought after by emperors for generations, and always so proud. When has he ever lowered himself like this? Now he's acting all pitiful, coquettish, and pleading with her. How is Su Xiaojiu supposed to resist...
But when her defenses finally crumble, Su Xiaojiu doesn't see the smug smile on his face.
