Praying to the Gods for a Husband

Original title: The Leisurely God Arrives, Wealth Gods and Guanyin, All Step Aside

Overworked college senior preparing for exams x aloof top-scoring CEO

Lin Xi is stuck at the most awkward age. She could be set up on dates, fall in love, get married, and have children, or prepare for graduate school, civil service, and public institution exams all at once.

On top of that, she can be tormented by both her internship and her thesis at the same time.

At New Year, everyone wishes her a happy new year. Then they ask about her job and her studies, and finally ask where her partner is.

Thinking about what awaits her when she goes home for the New Year, Lin Xi says nothing and simply keeps buying later and later flights.

At this point, she isn't asking anyone else or even herself for help. She wants to ask a god.

Having spent plenty of time reading online jokes, Lin Xi knows exactly how things work.

When busy gods hear a wish that's difficult to grant, they may adjust it to something more manageable. They might even be too busy to grant it and make you book a time slot.

So Lin Xi stays up all night and finds the perfect deity: the Leisurely God, True Lord Shu Yi.

An obscure god whom ordinary people never mention.

She immediately makes wishes for wealth, academic success, career success...

High above the heavens, the Leisurely God receives Lin Xi's wishes while being berated by Taibai Jinxing.

In past years, people would take their holidays as scheduled, leaving her free to relax. She never had to worry about her KPIs, and could meet her performance targets while lying flat.

Who could have guessed that more and more people in the human realm would become obsessed with competition? Her performance had plummeted, and she was about to lose her nice, independent office and her leisurely department.

Seeing someone make so many wishes to her, she decides to take a trip to the human world and figure out how to treat both the symptoms and the root cause, so she can keep lying flat and earning her KPIs.

Yan Zhenshu, unaware of the blessing or disaster about to befall her, holds a document in one hand and a computer in the other as she listens to her subordinate's annual report.

"When last quarter's financial report came out, you told me things would rise steadily before the New Year.

The numbers don't lie. Open your eyes and look. Have you been doing nothing but eating for free every day?

Now you're telling me we'll have a huge boom over the New Year? Are you planning to get tossed into the wok and stir-fried for New Year's Eve dinner?"

Everyone lowers their heads to mourn their own fate. The overworked employees who have to work through the New Year will welcome their collective spring when the season turns.

By then, Yan Zhenshu will have a bubble tea in one hand and a mousse cake in the other, ready at any moment to hand over tissues and lipstick.

"Xibao, don't work today. There's no rush to give that report.

Studying? Baby, you've already studied for over six hours today. You should get some rest.

I think we should honor our contract and go out on a date, girlfriend."
