The God of Light Says He's Fallen for the God of Darkness

Ji Xia was an "ordinary" girl. Ordinary looks, an ordinary education, an ordinary family, an ordinary job, and even an ordinary ex-boyfriend. She was lost in the crowd, bending over backward every day for a few measly bucks. Until her twenty-third birthday, when a group of impossibly cool, arrogant, and dazzling men and women descended from the sky, complete with special effects. They prostrated themselves before her and reverently kissed the tips of her toes. "Great and supreme Lord of the Gods, God of Darkness! The gods of darkness prostrate themselves in worship and welcome your return!" Ji Xia, horrified and expressionless: "If I'm really the King of All Gods, then could you guys help me curse that pig-headed supervisor who docked my entire year-end bonus because I was five minutes late? Make him grow a boil on his head and lose all his money in the stock market!" [Mini-scene 1] The gods of darkness: "We praise and worship the God of Darkness's return to the divine realm! Our Lord and King! Please continue to lead the gods of darkness to glorious victories, and let the power of darkness flourish once more and fill the divine realm!" Ji Xia, God of Darkness, a model young person born under the red flag and raised in the new era: "There, there, don't make a fuss. We've got more important things to do! The flight's delayed because of the weather. Get the Storm God to move the typhoon out of my way!" [Mini-scene 2] The gods of light: "Darkness is about to engulf the holy light once more! The sacred battle horns of the Divine Realm of Light have sounded. Gods, for the glory of the King of All Gods of Light, the holy war is about to begin again!" The God of Light: "Children, calm down. The times are changing. Leave that God of Darkness to me! A political marriage really is a good idea." [Mini-scene 3] The gods of both factions: "Come on! Let the battle of the gods begin! We all have powerful bosses backing us up, so who's afraid of whom?" Boss number one, the God of Darkness: "Enough, all of you! I have to go to work every day. I'm busy, and I don't have time to start a war." Boss number two, the God of Light: "Then how about we fall in love? The serious, responsible kind that helps keep the universe harmonious and stable." The gods of light and darkness: "We all dutifully prepared to lay down our lives for our respective divine realms. Who could have guessed our bosses would secretly start dating behind our backs!!!" The lazy, half-hearted heroine, a reincarnated God of Darkness, versus the ascetic, otherworldly male lead, the God of Light. This is a love story about two great gods that is both (shamefully) moving and (utterly) shameless. P.S. 1. The blurb has been screenshotted. 2.

[Warning: Updates are irregular for now, but the novel will not be abandoned. If that bothers you, please don't read.] Coming soon: "The Wealthy Family Contrast Couple Refuse to Lose" Chen Heyan married into a wealthy family right after graduating and began living the enviable life of a rich wife. Her husband, an heir to a wealthy family, was busy and rarely spent time with her, but he never fooled around with other women. Chen Heyan thought this life was pretty good. Until she tripped at her brother-in-law's engagement party. When she woke up, she discovered that this world was actually a novel, and she was the troublesome female supporting character. The male and female leads were her husband's younger brother and sister-in-law. She and her husband existed only to serve as a foil to the lead couple. The heroine had the script of a sweet romance in a wealthy family: a top-tier actress from a prestigious family who entered a powerful marriage with the hero after they fell in love. Her in-laws doted on her, her fans cheered them on, and she and her husband were blissfully in love. Meanwhile, Chen Heyan had married up despite her humble background, had narrow horizons, and no job. Her mother-in-law only cared about whether she had conceived the eldest grandson. Her husband was taciturn and didn't know how to show affection, offering her money and handbags and nothing else. Everyone was waiting to laugh when she was abandoned. What a stark contrast between the Qin family's two daughters-in-law. After the leads married, she would become jealous and compete with the heroine at every turn, only to be repeatedly face-slapped by the couple. She would cause one mess after another, eventually getting her husband killed in an accident. After the hero inherited the family business, he would throw her out of the wealthy household, leaving her in misery. Chen Heyan: "How is that acceptable? Get up and do something! Losing is for someone else." Top actress Jiang Xin and her wealthy husband appeared on the couples' reality show "Sweet Marriage." When Jiang Xin visited her husband's family, the camera occasionally caught glimpses of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Halfway through the show's run, the whole internet was talking about: #Another day of peeking through a crack in the screen to scavenge crumbs of the brother-and-sister-in-law's love# #I barely paid attention to Jiang Xin and her husband. I was rewinding the corner of the screen with a magnifying glass to watch the elder sister-in-law hit her husband. What kind of fairytale romance is this?# #A million people beg the show to invite the brother-and-sister-in-law as guests for season two# #From today on, I'm a die-hard shipper of this couple. Keep an eye on them, everyone. Ship them like there's no tomorrow!# [The male lead's version] He was born taciturn, not good with words or at expressing himself. He simply never told his wife that there had been a man who fell for her as a boy, and understood love only after his heart had already been given to her. From then on, his love for her was deep and unwavering. Theme: Harmony and friendship matter most.
