[Hilarious and Ridiculous] [Strong Female Lead] [No CP] [Ensemble Cast] [Subverts Expectations]
The day I was laid off, I received three things at once: a termination notice, a heart disease diagnosis, and a dilapidated temple left to me by my grandmother.
On the first day after inheriting it, a long line formed at the temple gate. Everyone applying for a job was a god.
The door god argued with facial recognition software. The Pixiu refused electronic payments. The Matchmaker had tied the red threads into an impossible knot. And the Civil Judge, who managed the accounts, asked me which kind of magical artifact Excel was.
I opened the ledger. It showed 7,300 yuan in assets and 4.87 million yuan in debt.
I said I didn't want the temple. The City God seal immediately warned me: If the temple falls, the gods disappear. If the gods disappear, you die. Your life is already tied to every divine lantern in the city. As long as the lights stay on, you live. When they go out, it's time to prepare the banquet.
Fine. A dying person has nothing to fear.
I put my ten years of big-tech operations experience to work, setting schedules and KPIs for the gods. I demanded to see the law-enforcement credentials of the gods who went down the mountain to hunt monsters. I used the same strategies my former company had worn out on the evil god who made a living off people's anxiety, driving him to shut up shop.
Later, gods who wanted to join my temple lined up all the way from one end of the street to the other.
Only Cui Yan asked me: Who put out the city's divine lanterns, and what happened to your grandmother?
