Three hundred years after fewer and fewer people on Earth believed in the gods, Heaven can no longer afford to pay its officials, so it launches a massive round of layoffs among the immortals.
Zhao Gongming, once the God of Wealth, descends to the mortal world and becomes a delivery driver. He races around in a kangaroo helmet while struggling to pay his mortgage. The Matchmaker gives up his divine thread and becomes a dating broker, using rubber bands to bring couples together, only to be baffled by modern matchmaking tricks. The King of Hell takes a job planning funerals at a funeral home, turning afterlife packages into down-to-earth services. Nezha becomes a swimming and spin-class instructor, disguising his Wind Fire Wheels as orthopedic insoles. Erlang Shen opens a pet shop and uses his mind-reading powers to pet dogs. The Kitchen God hangs around a food court filming delivery-food commercials.
Forced to descend to the mortal world and work for a living, these old-school gods see their divine personas fall apart as they struggle with cutthroat delivery work, dating scams, and workplace drudgery. The result is hilarious and down-to-earth. When Heaven tries to summon the immortals back to their old jobs, these unemployed gods, having sampled the everyday joys of mortal life, have fallen completely in love with working life instead. Their funny day-to-day survival in the modern city begins.
