[No Romance] [Management] [Subverting Expectations]
“Other people enter a horror: they scream, run away, and get eaten.”
“Qu Zhou enters a horror: she assesses the assets, sets the rules, and hires employees.”
“When a vengeful ghost wants to call her Mom, she hands over an employment contract. When a god wants to marry her and make her his divine consort, she waves a bankruptcy liquidation report. When an Old One wants to merge with her, she tells it to get ISO certification first.”
“Haunted Inn guest notice: Office romances are strictly prohibited. Gods may not propose. Emotional blackmail will not be tolerated. Violators will be fined ten years of their lifespan or forced to work for ten thousand years.”
Qu Zhou adjusts her glasses. “Your affection is valued far too highly, Lord God, but has no cash value. We do not accept emotional investments. We only take soul coins.”
