Journey to the West + the Celestial Court system + political intrigue + workplace drama. Not your traditional Primordial World story.
Gu Yuan ascended to immortality.
Then he discovered that the Celestial Court was like a gang.
The Jade Emperor sat at the top. The Investiture of the Gods was its roster, the Book of Merits and Virtues its ledger, and incense offerings its cash.
And he, Number 97241, was at the very bottom of the Celestial Court hierarchy, stuck doing the dirty work of taking hits for others every day.
Luckily, Heaven had given him a page from the Yin Register. Light a cigarette, turn a page, and every immortal’s dirty secrets are laid bare.
Each time he turns a page, his name fades a little more. Turn too many, and his soul will scatter.
But Gu Yuan isn’t afraid.
The thing he’s always been best at is risking his life on one big gamble.
The first thing he plans to do is head to Mount Hua and collect protection money from the Third Holy Mother.
She once fought her way from the South Heaven Gate to the Eastern Continent of Victory, a fearsome woman who gives even the Jade Emperor a headache.
An ascendant with no official position is going to collect protection money from her?
