The Days I Moonlighted as a Deity

If you transmigrated to ancient times, what would you do? He Qi: Thanks for asking. I moonlight as a deity in ancient times. His maternal grandfather's Taoist temple is facing forced demolition, so He Qi, a prodigy, races a thousand miles to put out the fire. But even a Taoist priest can't work without a license! While studying for his exams at the temple, He Qi stays up late, bangs his head against a statue, and his soul drifts back to ancient times. “Tiger Immortal, please enlighten us! Why are the spirit tigers in the mountains causing trouble and eating the mountain folk?” Sitting atop a ferocious tiger statue, He Qi touches his little tiger-skin skirt and begins his first day pretending to be a deity. Then come ghost immortals, tree spirits, mountain gods... The pay for this side gig is pretty good, though it does interfere with everyday life. For example, major zoos send him special recruitment offers, inviting him to work as an expert. Pet hospitals and veterinary colleges quickly follow suit, joining the bidding war with high salaries! The people at the Taoist temple: ??? Boss, aren't you a Chinese language major? He Qi: Maybe it's because I can speak... tiger, cat, and dog. Theme: Love life, love freedom
