Overworked wage slave Li Mo dies suddenly and wakes up as Shen Gongbao. He quits on the spot, ready to lie flat and retire. That is, until he meets the nine-tailed fox who scratches at his heart in the middle of the night. She tearfully says she doesn’t want to be a demon consort, and he hands her a pot of wine. “It’s all a workplace injury. Want to talk?” From then on, his retirement dream is shattered, and he’s forced to team up with the fox to bring down the Investiture of the Gods. Later, she wants to open a teahouse, and he becomes her bookkeeper. She says, “You help me change my fate, and I’ll take care of you in your old age.”
