The King of Hell Has the Day Off

[This was basically my first attempt at writing, and it may be a bit embarrassing in hindsight. I was still pretty inexperienced in every respect back then, so please read with caution! I’ll keep improving!] “I found a god, and the first thing he said to me was that he wanted money.” “You really know how to pick your people.” “Money is the one thing I’ll never run short of.” An extremely controlling, absolute ruler of the underworld x a sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside God of Poverty who loves nothing but money and is great at pretending to be poor Jiang Ce x Xiao Hua CEO Jiang x Assistant /Power couple/opposites-attract/younger man/monogamous/HE Breaking news! Instead of staying in the underworld, Lord Jiang has gone to the human world to become a CEO! Black Impermanence: My lord, haven’t you had enough of being CEO of the underworld? Why rush off to the human world? Jiang: The underworld’s too stuffy. I’m bored, so I’m going to look around the human world. White Impermanence: ...Even if you go to the human world like this, you won’t find anything fun. You won’t understand all that company stuff and... Jiang: Are you doubting me? So Lord Jiang went to the human world in person, started a company, and became its CEO. Determined to prove what he could do, he threw himself into his career and picked up a poor god to be his assistant along the way. Jiang Ce: He thought he’d picked up a delicate beauty in poor health to keep in his home. Xiao Hua: “I don’t know anything, I really don’t. I’m very delicate...” But in less than a week, Xiao Hua’s true nature came out. Xiao Hua: Delicate? Yes, I’m just pretending. (^^) The ruler of the underworld x the God of Poverty: a story about two powerful men joining forces to turn the human world upside down, build their careers, make money, and fall in love along the way. *An urban fantasy in an alternate world where humans, gods, and the underworld coexist.
