[At heart, this is a silly comedy with my own take on cultivation and a pile of made-up worldbuilding. In this setting, cultivators can accept offerings of incense, build shrines to receive worship, and make money from incense offerings, so please don't nitpick. Thank you, everyone!]
Blurb:
As the eldest son of the Zhou family, the foremost of the four great families of the Southern Kingdom, Zhou Zichen is so rich he has more money than he knows what to do with. He has one simple wish: to cultivate the Dao and become an immortal!
As an Immortal Venerable just one financial tribulation away from ascending, Xu Mobai has no head for business and no concept of money. His one glittering wish is to get ten thousand taels of gold!
To make his son's wish come true, Master Zhou secretly offers Xu Mobai a generous gift worth a thousand gold pieces, asking him to take Zhou Zichen as his disciple. And so the two become a pair of "loving" master and disciple. The result...
At first:
Zhou Zichen: Master, Master, I got accepted as your disciple so easily. Is it because I'm especially talented?
Master: To be honest, I didn't want to take you on, but your father offered far too much money.
Zhou Zichen: ...
So Zhou Zichen rushed home in the middle of the night and unilaterally disowned Master Zhou.
Zhou Zichen: What does a gift from the master of the Zhou family have to do with me, Zhou Zichen? I was accepted because I'm naturally gifted, after all.
Master: ...
Later:
Zhou Zichen: Master, Master, how's my sword-flying technique?
Master: Keep at it. If you don't work hard at cultivation, you'll be forced to go back and inherit your family's immense fortune. Don't forget how devotedly I looked after you when that happens.
Zhou Zichen: ...
So Zhou Zichen rushed home in the middle of the night and told his second younger sister to transfer the entire family fortune into her own name within three days.
Zhou Zichen: Don't worry, Master. My second younger sister has inherited the entire Zhou family fortune. With no way back, I'll devote myself to the Dao until I become an immortal!
Master: ...
Finally:
Zhou Zichen: Master, Master, why don't we practice dual cultivation to speed up my progress?
Master: Although the immortal sects expressly forbid masters from taking the bottom role when practicing dual cultivation with their disciples, I might consider it if the money's right...
Zhou Zichen: ...
So Zhou Zichen rushed home in the middle of the night and borrowed ten thousand taels of gold from a money house, using his master's immortal status as collateral.
Zhou Zichen: Master, we've got the ten thousand taels of gold. Let's practice dual cultivation and earn money to pay off the debt!
Master: ...

Blurb:
He Yanxing has a crush on a male colleague in his department. Lu Xing joined the company two years after him. He's tall, with deep-set eyes, and so handsome he has an intensely dangerous aura.
Because they're both men, He Yanxing is afraid of being rejected and doesn't dare confess. But his unspoken love keeps growing until, at last, he starts following Lu Xing...
Just a few more glances at him would be enough. As long as he doesn't find out, as long as he doesn't find out...
"Team Leader He, why have you been following me after work lately?" Lu Xing asked, wiping blood off his hand as he walked toward He Yanxing, who was hiding in the corner of a warehouse. His steps were graceful and unhurried.
He Yanxing had just witnessed the entire scene of Lu Xing beating up a debtor and even cutting off three of his fingers. His face turned pale with fear. He lowered his head and stammered, "I... I was just, just going the same way home."
"But isn't your home in the opposite direction, Team Leader?" Lu Xing raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile curling his lips. He lifted He Yanxing's chin with his index finger, his voice low and forceful, leaving no room for argument. "Would you rather I dig out your eyes, or spend a night with me? Which do you choose, Team Leader?"
"Huh?" He Yanxing's mind went completely blank...
Important note: They have a mutual crush, and the top is the first to break and make a bold move.
[Reader's Guide]
1. The top appears to be an ordinary employee at a financial leasing company, but he's actually the boss's son. From time to time, he handles debt collection that can't be done openly.
2. The bottom fell for the top at first sight. Since he didn't dare show his feelings, he always acted professionally at work, so the top hadn't noticed his feelings before he was followed.
3. The story contains various scenes of the top forcing himself on the bottom. Please don't read if that bothers you.

Hehe, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!!
Oh, I see. In fact, the day Lu Wanxin rescued the little goat demon had already sealed his future fate. There are good demons and hateful people, so if you accept it, just live well. (If you have the financial means, you should help your uncle. They owe a lot of money now!)
Hey, this pairing is fine too, you have to be a Taoist couple, it doesn't matter if you are a master or a disciple, so Master, do you understand?
It's really worth spending 10,000 taels of gold to have a two-day break with Master. Zhou Zichen is so capable. Tsk, tsk, tsk, pay back the money slowly in the future.
??? I didn't expect, I didn't expect, the young apprentice would be so tough! Ha ha ha ha! Looking forward to pushing the master down on the bed!
What what?! Master, do you still have this face? What did I miss?
According to my observation, does Lu Yinxin have a crush on his senior brother? He is particularly cruel to Sheep and Sheep, completely treating him as a love rival.
Wow, Zhou Zichen finally connected with his master. However, the master's emotional aperture was probably blocked by something and he couldn't hear his disciple's voice.
