A sprawling ensemble story with a slightly unhinged edge
1
After being transferred for work, Meng Ruchu arrived in Linyuan, a city on the border.
One night, she saw a young man lying by the roadside with a hand pressed to his chest. The scene seemed strangely familiar...
My elbows? My thighs? My waist? They're all fine!
This was definitely a scam. Not wanting to risk getting fleeced, she decided to turn around and leave.
But her conscience wouldn't let her walk away, so Meng Ruchu took the young man back to her place and saved him.

Chiyao was a god who ruled the sun. While on the job, he was maliciously slandered by a jealous colleague and accidentally fell into the mortal world.
He lay on the ground, quietly recovering and preparing to return to work, when a young woman took him back to her place.
And they unexpectedly formed a pact.
Chiyao couldn't leave her side, so he had no choice but to shamelessly stick with her while looking for a way to break the pact.
Later, he discovered that the pact could be broken by driving a starblade into the woman's heart, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Little skit:
Chiyao followed Meng Ruchu around, insisting on repaying her.
Meng Ruchu held up one finger. “Ten million.”
Chiyao: “Miss, you'll bring down Heaven's wrath on yourself acting like that.”
Meng Ruchu scoffed.
The weather had been radiant one moment, but the next, thunder and rain began. It returned to normal just five seconds later.
Meng Ruchu: This is personal. You're absolutely targeting me.
Will I meet a softhearted god this summer? The answer is no. I'll only meet a god who brings Heaven's wrath down on me.
Chiyao: “Chuchu, for thousands of years, all things in this world have followed their natural course. I shouldn't disrupt the order of humanity. If that's the case, then I would gladly cast off my divine bones and become mortal for you.”
