A Lazy God of the Land's Guide to Getting Promoted

[Novel blurb]: After graduating from college, Xie Wuyi used his grandfather's connections to return to his village and temporarily take up the post of earth god. Unfortunately, he was a hopeless slacker. For two years running, his merit and incense offerings ranked at the very bottom of the city, and he was still on probation. Most recently, he lost 800 merit points as a penalty for getting into a fight. The City God finally ran out of patience and gave him an ultimatum: if he had nothing to show for himself after another year, the King of Hell would fire him! He'd gotten the job through connections in the first place, and now he was about to get replaced. How embarrassing. Xie Wuyi decided to stop being a slacker and make an effort. That's when the God of Misfortune showed up. One year remained before Xie Wuyi would be officially stripped of his immortal status. - During the final year before his dismissal countdown ran out: Xie Wuyi, your temple collapsed, and a red-clad vengeful ghost that had been hiding for over a century appeared and tried to eat you! You sent it straight to the ghost realm and got 800 merit points!? His living expenses increased by the day. His once-quiet shop, where he'd been the only resident, gradually filled up with two children, a snake, and a weasel spirit... Every day was so lively it felt like they were dancing on his head. Worst of all, after he accidentally became bound to the God of Misfortune by a red thread, he kept suffering from an irregular heartbeat, and eventually pounced on the man after getting drunk!!! At year's end, Xie Wuyi received a notice that he'd been made permanent, along with a marriage contract. With his entire household in tow, he shed tears of joy. In one year, he'd gotten a job and a family. Who wouldn't be envious?

My modern supernatural sweet romance, How Can Different Species Date?, is now available~ Blurb: Her boyfriend of less than three months cheated on her. Ji Xia first found out one late night when someone named "Qin" called. Thinking he was asleep, her boyfriend answered. She couldn't make out what the person on the other end was saying, but she heard her boyfriend whisper, "Where are you?" and "Stay there. Don't move. I'm coming to get you." Then he quietly got out of bed and left. He didn't come back until morning, looking utterly drained. Friend: He's been cheating right under your nose. Can you really put up with that? Ji Xia: No. Not at all. So, when her boyfriend went out again late at night, Ji Xia changed her clothes and secretly followed him, ready to find evidence of his cheating and beat the scumbag to death (literally). Until she saw him... Her boyfriend deftly flung out two yellow talismans, then thrust his sword at a red-dressed "woman" with long hair trailing on the ground. Ghostly howls filled the sky, and the earth shook violently. An ordinary thousand-year-old zombie, Ji Xia: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴ - My boyfriend is a Celestial Master, and I'm a zombie. What do I do? Early the next morning, Li Xing returned from catching ghosts, ready to make a loving breakfast for his little boyfriend. But because their ID numbers didn't match, he was dumped on the spot. ◆ From Li Xing's perspective: Work has been a little busy lately, and several zombies have appeared out of nowhere and started running around. He hasn't been able to spend quality time with his little boyfriend in ages. His little boyfriend, who needs kisses every day, got so angry that he broke up with him. But the reason was that their ID numbers didn't match... Should he make a fake ID to placate him? His brother-in-law, who works at the police station: So you're making fake IDs? Come with me. Still from Li Xing's perspective: He never got around to making a fake ID, but they broke up without quite breaking up. His little boyfriend couldn't change his habits overnight: he still needed a kiss every morning, food Li Xing made himself, and ketchup Li Xing made from scratch. Li Xing thought there was still hope of getting back together, so he coaxed him into staying with him. But even after polishing off a whole pouch of ketchup and burping, his little boyfriend still shook his head. (Li Xing frantically tugged at his hair, wondering what he'd done wrong...) What exactly was the problem? A skit: During his attempts to get back together, Ji Xia's identity was exposed. The Celestial Masters pointed at the person across from them, who was surrounded by a horde of zombies and treated like their king, and cried out in anguish: "See? Your partner really is a zombie! We weren't lying to you!" Li Xing clenched his fists in anger and glared at the zombie horde across from him. "You in the back, on the left! I'm talking to you! Why are you reaching out with your claws? That's my wife!!!" #So what if he's a zombie? I'm crazy about him# Attributes: [Adorable, sweet, and ridiculously powerful zombie bottom VS lovesick Celestial Master top who gags and spits out even the tiniest bite of zombie] Theme: Rise above adversity, and the summit will soon be within reach.
