Wu Yu x Xie Tan
A self-obsessed, red-haired river god x a human who is aloof at first and turns into a flamboyant peacock later
Wu Yu is convinced he's so handsome that no one can rival him, and that his looks can conquer the world.
Then he runs into the prickly Xie Tan.
The human doesn't bow to a god. Fine. But he even turned around and filed a complaint against Wu Yu.
Wu Yu: As long as you withdraw that complaint, I'll give you money. More than you could spend in several lifetimes.
Xie Tan: Please leave.
Wu Yu racks his brain, then soaks himself to the bone, lets his clothes fall open to expose his chest, and stands dripping wet outside Xie Tan's door.
"Do you want a partner? I'll even pay you. If I do a good job, you have to withdraw that complaint."
Xie Tan: "P-please come in."
After N days of living together, the Matchmaker tells Wu Yu, "Your partner's red thread is glowing. He's going to fall in love with someone else! Lord River God, you're about to get dumped!"
Sure enough, Xie Tan, who usually wears gray shirts buttoned all the way to the top, shows up one day in a dark red apron with lace trim and a deep V-neck T-shirt underneath. Two collarbones and a firm chest are on full display.
Wu Yu stares at his neckline, unable to look away. Well, well. The iron peacock has spread its tail.
Wu Yu: "Dressed like that, are you trying to show off? Which girl have you got your eye on?"
Xie Tan, dead serious: "Sorry. I looked through your wardrobe without permission, and I thought you'd like this."
Wu Yu: "Like what? Your clothes? Keep practicing for a few more years. I don't approve of your style."
Wu Yu tosses his head confidently, the earrings on his ear cartilage chiming softly.
Xie Tan: "No. I meant me. If you don't like these clothes, I can take them off."
Wu Yu's inner thoughts: Huh?! Bro, you've spread your peacock tail for the wrong person...
Theme: Good luck getting that permanent position
