Heaven-Washed Lotus

Legend has it that there is a Lotus-Washing Pavilion in the Immortal Realm, a place like a living hell among mortals and a realm of slaughter among the dead. Any immortal, demon, or god who breaks the laws of the Immortal Realm or strays from the path of purity is sent there to have their body, heart, and essence transformed. In the end, they become fertilizer for the lotus pond, their souls utterly destroyed... The Pavilion's master is carefully addressed by the immortals of Heaven as Lord Lotus. No immortal dares speak his name lightly, for his true form was born in the Lotus-Washing Pond itself. When the little demon Mangu first arrived in the Immortal Realm, he had not practiced for long, and no celestial official was willing to take him in. With no other choice, he became the tea-serving boy under Lord Lotus. Lord Lotus was cold and merciless, meting out life and death without compassion. When softhearted Mangu broke the heavenly laws and secretly released the soul of a guilty god, he dragged Lord Lotus down to the mortal world to undergo a trial. Feeling guilty, Mangu worried that Lord Lotus would suffer in the mortal world, so he secretly helped him. And so began a tale of a thousand years of lotus washing and one fated lifetime... *One day, a lofty, aloof deity descends to the mortal world, and a thousand-year-old iceberg melts in the blink of an eye.* **A cold, ruthless heavenly god whose true form is a black lotus, top X an utterly adorable, naturally lucky koi-fish subordinate, bottom.** You might think this is a thoroughly serious workplace story about a deity undergoing a trial and rebuilding his life in the Heavenly Realm. In fact, it's a documentary of the bizarre antics of humans: a cold, powerful big shot is accidentally tricked by his clueless subordinate into coming down to earth to experience the seven emotions and six desires, and even ends up falling in love.
