As the ancient god who governs time in this world, Shi Nian possesses limitless wealth and spiritual power.
All she wants is to live out this life in peace, complete her merits, and ascend to become an Eternal God.
That is, until she meets this arrogant Spirit Exorcist, number 9326.
Her peaceful life is thrown into utter disarray.
When they first meet, Shi Nian has just finished dealing with a parasitic clan that disrupted the flow of time in this plane. She is covered in the deep purple blood unique to the Xie Clan.
Yan Lie looks her over, mistakes her for a Xie demon, and flashes his badge and handcuffs. His expression is impassive. "Spirit Exorcist 9326, Yan Lie, captain of Team Twenty-Eight. You're under arrest."
Shi Nian: "…"
-
After joining the Anjie Bureau, Yan Lie can face anyone and anything with a clear conscience. Until one day, someone accuses him of falsifying his family ties and being a descendant of the Xie Clan.
After the accusation comes to light, the Anjie Bureau detains Yan Lie.
The feel of handcuffs around his wrists, the curses and blows all around him, Yan Lie stands on the platform as thousands revile him.
The next second, Shi Nian appears on the platform. With scorn in her eyes, she taps his handcuffs and easily frees his hands.
"He's mine. I'm taking him."
"Looking for a fight? I'm in."
-
Later, Shi Nian asks him if everything he did was worth it, given how things turned out.
Yan Lie says, "It was worth it."
"Spirit Exorcist 9326. I have to live up to that title."
Shi Nian can only laugh that humans are soft-hearted. The gods would never be so foolish.
Unfortunately, she ends up becoming just like them.

1. The world is entirely fictional.
2. The female lead is much stronger than the male lead. She is the kind who steps in and takes down an opponent in one move when the male lead can't win a fight. :D

My next story is Ascending God of Tribulation, Telling Fortunes Online. Check it out in my column. Here's the blurb:
Shen Jiaoning opens her eyes and immediately realizes she has been sent to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation. She is told she can only bring the treasure she seeks back with her and return to the God Clan to save her friend once her Fortune Progress Bar is full.
The System tells her: "Greetings, God Hengyue! System Assistant Two is at your service. We've activated your cheat skill, [Fate Sight]. Please make good use of it. Hope you return to the God Clan soon, and don't forget about Assistant Two!"
So, she can see people's fates, and she needs to fill her Fortune Progress Bar?
Fine, fine. Shen Jiaoning decides to tell fortunes.
A silly, spoiled young heir wants to impress a girl, so he spends a fortune on her.
Shen Jiaoning makes a quick calculation and kindly advises him, "Why don't you check the accounts at your family's company?"
The spoiled heir goes home and discovers that the vice president used his position to line his own pockets, and was also evading taxes.
Overnight, the spoiled young man becomes a promising talent who saves the company.
A down-on-his-luck programmer quits his job at a major tech company and happens to meet Shen Jiaoning.
Shen Jiaoning makes a quick calculation and hands him a bank card. "Start your own business. That project you're thinking about right now? I'll invest. Go all in!"
The programmer is deeply grateful, and in less than six months, he's worth tens of millions.
A small-time influencer is cyberbullied, so Shen Jiaoning starts a film company for her.
She makes a quick calculation. "If you can do it, go for it. If you can't, I'll back you up."
After a month of intensive preparation, the influencer lands the role of the third female lead. Her performance stands out, and offers keep pouring in. Her next role is the female lead in an S+ production.
Having a cheat skill is great! She can earn money, make connections, and build up her fortune.
Her return to the God Clan is just around the corner!

After completing her task, Shen Jiaoning finally obtains the spirit jade, but on the day she ascends, she runs into someone she knows.
She looks at the little assistant. "What a coincidence! You're from the God Clan too? Did you manage to ascend?"
The little assistant falls silent. "...I didn't make it."
Shen Jiaoning: "What was your task? You should have told me. I could've helped!"
The little assistant: "Win you over."
Shen Jiaoning: "..."
Good thing you didn't tell me. I couldn't have helped with that at all. :)
Core theme: "Someone is always carrying the burden for you."
