[Completed · No romance for the protagonist + BL couples among the side characters | A semi-fictional mythological system + a modernized Three Realms + workplace-style cultivation fantasy | Everyone's a comedian]
The actual story might as well be called: "Go ahead and have your immortal-demon romance, but why are you dragging me into it in the mortal world?!"
Qin Lian is a newly appointed Earth God who was "lucky" enough to be assigned to a highway.
At first, Qin Lian thought the job wouldn't be all that difficult. And, sure enough, things went wrong.
He was happily slacking off at work when he accidentally got caught up in someone else's melodramatic, star-crossed BL romance, wandered into a gods-versus-gods showdown, and discovered that the old case even involved his good friend Xiao Liu.
Qin Lian: I wanna die.
But he can't.
The biggest taboo in the Earth God business is dying on the job, because the people who come to collect you on the road to the underworld might be coworkers from another department.
Imagine opening your eyes and seeing the Black and White Impermanence or Ox-Head and Horse-Face again. How awkward.
[The protagonist has a bit of a camera-like quality. The writing might not be great; this whole story is pure self-indulgent nonsense. If we're not on the same wavelength, head for the exit!]
