The Heavenly Dao Wants to Find a Match for a Brooding Ghost

As the agent of the Heavenly Dao, Qi Yanxing has saved countless lives and taken countless lives over the millennia. He is notorious, known among humans as the "disaster star" and the "god of slaughter." Qi Yanxing doesn't care in the least. Every time he finishes one of that old geezer Heavenly Dao's tasks, he shuts the lid of his coffin and lets the outside world go to hell. In modern times, as spiritual qi revives, Qi Yanxing is awakened from his coffin by the Heavenly Dao after years of slumber. Before Qi Yanxing can blow up, the Heavenly Dao's incarnation cheerfully says, "Little fox, I'm getting promoted!" Qi Yanxing: "...What?" The Heavenly Dao's incarnation says, "I'm leaving Earth Village to become the Heavenly Dao of the ￥#@ star in the @#% system!" Qi Yanxing: "..." The Heavenly Dao's incarnation: "But I'm worried about you, so before the new Heavenly Dao takes over, I want to set you up with a wonderful match!" Qi Yanxing: "Are you awake yet?" The Heavenly Dao's incarnation: "The other guy is incredibly handsome, absolutely your type, and has a wonderful temperament. Even if you make a huge fuss, he'll take thoughtful care of you, eat, sleep, and play with you. He's the perfect husband. More importantly, he's actually your future, " Qi Yanxing: "Enough! Just get lost!" To keep the Heavenly Dao from arranging a marriage for him behind his back, Qi Yanxing decides to go out, grab a partner, and register their marriage. Once the fuss dies down, he can return to his coffin. As it happens, on the very first day after Qi Yanxing wakes up, he comes across an amnesiac handsome man whose looks perfectly match his tastes. The important part: he's lost his memory. Qi Yanxing blinks, quickly checks the amnesiac handsome man's phone contacts, and smiles with interest. "Good. You're the one!" * After living as a human for twenty-six years, Yuan Jibai suddenly remembers that he is actually the newly appointed Heavenly Dao, and Earth Village is the first world he has been assigned to manage. As the Heavenly Dao, the reason he entered the six paths of reincarnation and was reborn as a human was that the old Heavenly Dao of Earth Village tricked him before he officially took office. The Heavenly Dao: "As the Heavenly Dao, it's important to learn about the world you'll be managing and its culture before taking office. So I've arranged for you to be reincarnated once and experience human life. Is that all right?" Yuan Jibai thinks for a moment. "Sure." The Heavenly Dao: "Love is an important part of the human experience, so I'll arrange a romance for you in this life. Is that all right?" Yuan Jibai thinks for a moment. "Sure." The Heavenly Dao: "Speaking of romance, most humans' dream partners are fox spirits, so I'll arrange for you to meet a fox spirit. Is that all right?" Yuan Jibai thinks for a moment. "Sure." Hey! He's so easy to fool! The Heavenly Dao happily sends this newly born Heavenly Dao into the cycle of reincarnation. Twenty-six years later, Yuan Jibai finally remembers his true identity. But at the same time, he also forgets the life he lived for the past twenty-six years. Fortunately, the partner assigned by the Heavenly Dao shows up right on time. Qi Yanxing: "Jibai-ge, hurry up! We agreed we'd go get married today. Did you forget?" Yuan Jibai looks down at the face before him, a perfect match for the description of a "fox spirit," and nods in acceptance. "I didn't forget. Let's go get married." *Married first, love later. The Heavenly Dao plays matchmaker, and everyone approves. *A competitive, grabby, tempestuous, coquettish, sharp-tongued, fierce fox-ghost bottom X a perfect husband and peerless top. Two nonhumans talking past each other, yet somehow really connecting. A bloody melodramatic stew, sweet with a hint of sour. Theme: Good and evil are always repaid in the end.
