[A hapless, clueless, sharp-tongued shou who accidentally wanders into a fantasy world x a sanctimonious gong who is actually a thousand-year-old fox with a hundred schemes]
Ning Chuan is an ordinary rich college student. When his childhood friend goes missing, he boards a train to the snowy mountains. One strange thing after another happens...
Then a young man suddenly appears beside his seat. Ning Chuan can't help thinking there's something off about him.
As beautiful as a celestial being, tall and slender, with an air that is anything but mortal, he inspires a inexplicable fondness in Ning Chuan, who shares the last of his snacks with him.
The young man takes them.
Ning Chuan: "Hey, I was..." I meant to share, not give them all to you!
The young man smiles. His breathtaking beauty leaves Ning Chuan speechless. In that instant, the strange feeling he'd had since boarding the train suddenly fades away, as if someone had pulled him out of a bubble.
Ning Chuan: ???
He comes to his senses and suddenly realizes: "You-you-you're...!"
Who would have thought? In broad daylight, he gets to see a god!
Nezha scatters the last trace of dark energy around him. Slender fingertips brush against Ning Chuan's shoulder. Ning Chuan can hardly feel their weight, or maybe his soul is about to float away, bewitched.
He's way too handsome!
Ning Chuan screams inwardly. When the train reaches the station, he has to part with him, full of regret.
He never expected their destination to be the same place...

Ning Chuan feels as though his entire worldview has been rebuilt. Didn't he simply board an ordinary train, go find a friend, and take an ordinary trip? How did he suddenly wind up in a fantasy world?
No, he must be crazy. Why else would some weird bureau invite him to work there, where he ends up eating a demon hunter? Why are all the demon hunter's coworkers monsters?
And he has to pay to work there.
As the only rich kid on the team, in the poorest team around, Ning Chuan has to pay for every business trip.
Ning Chuan, whose pockets are getting emptier by the day: This can't be right, guys!
I'm quitting today!
But the director, holding his resignation letter, seems to have a strange look on his face. Ning Chuan straightens his back and declares righteously, "I never expected to make money, but I can't lose money either! If my family finds out I'm paying to work, they'll kill me!"
That's the rich kid's problem! His family will laugh him to death!
A rich kid's bottom line is that he can spend money, but he can't be wasteful!
Wen Songchen: "...How about I marry into your family?"
Ning Chuan's eyes go wide. He figures Director Wen must have been corrupted by the fox in the bureau, the one who supposedly spent hundreds of years trying to find a wife without success. He's so desperate to marry that he's lost it!
He retreats twenty steps to the doorway. "Director, are you crazy?"
Wen Songchen: "...Yeah."
That night, Ning Chuan dreams that a nine-tailed red fox runs into his home with the whole place full of gold and silver treasures. "The betrothal gifts... I mean, your salary."
Ning Chuan: ...???
Does our bureau pay salaries through dreams?
Before they get together:
Ning Chuan: Director, is there really a fox in our bureau who's spent hundreds of years looking for a wife without finding one? Why have I never seen him? Is he too embarrassed to show his face?
Wen Songchen: Once he finds a wife, you'll see him.
After they get together:
Ning Chuan: Director, why still haven't I seen him?
Wen Songchen: (Transforms) (Proudly puffs out his chest) (Coaxes his wife into a hug)
Ning Chuan: ...O_O
Ning Chuan: Honey, didn't you say you were under a hundred?
Wen Songchen: …
(Mr. Wen: Asking online, what do I do about a huge age gap with my husband? Will he reject me?)
Content notes:
1. Immortal characters in the story don't have CPs. This is pure fiction; please don't take it seriously.
2. Older gong. Not a male power fantasy. The protagonist is lively and goofy, not a genius but not stupid either. He's a growing male lead. This is a lighthearted comedy, so please don't be too harsh. He starts as a regular employee of the Special Investigation Bureau and becomes a god later.
3. The protagonist shou won't die because he's got a cheat!
