Gu Yanshen is the most unusual “Buddha-like man” in Beijing's elite circles.
He believes in Buddha, but only in himself. He is indifferent, yet controls the joys and sorrows of half the capital.
That is, until he finds a girl who calls herself a “family god” in the ancestral shrine being rebuilt.
Dressed in Republican-era clothes, her stomach growling with hunger, she lifts her chin and orders him:
“Mortal, aren't you going to kneel before this deity?”
Qingtan has been asleep for a hundred years.
When she wakes, her family has stopped offering incense, and her divine power has dwindled so much she can't even make an apple float.
The current head of the family is a strange man who lectures her on modern civil law with a straight face and insists she “get certified before taking the job.”
She needs his faith to restore her divine power.
He needs her to deal with all those “unscientific” problems.
A Social Adaptation Agreement for Deities binds two beings who have been lonely for far too long.
Later...
Gu Yanshen turns the tide at a trillion-yuan negotiation table, all because Qingtan texts him: “The fridge is empty. Please get pudding.”
Qingtan nearly fades away protecting him, and the man who is always calm and composed speaks with a tremor in his voice for the first time: “Don't go... I'll worship you for the rest of my life.”
Later still, the Gu family shrine gets some new rules:
No incense offerings, just ice cream.
No prayers for protection, just a wish to see her smile.
