The Little God of Wealth Is So Poor

Qi Xiaoye is a seven-leaf lotus in the Heavenly Realm's Hall of Wealth. Nurtured with spiritual energy by the Nine Gods of Wealth, he soon takes human form.

There are always little koi fish who sneak out of the Wealth God's pond in front of the hall and then sneak back in. They tell the little immortal spirits stories about the outside world and show them the handsome men in the photos they've taken.

No one knows that Qi Xiaoye has secretly fallen for the big shot in one of the photos.

That very night, he packs a little bundle and runs away to find him!

**

The outside world is so exciting, but Qi Xiaoye has no money and can't even fill his stomach.

But he can't just go home without finding the big shot he likes!

The little koi helps him think of a plan. "You're the only seven-leaf lotus in the Hall of Wealth. You can livestream just like humans! People who pray to you for wealth and good luck will bring you income, too!"

Qi Xiaoye is a little grass with social anxiety. He goes out to work during the day, then puts on a mask at night and holds up the glowing sign the little koi made for him, reading "Little God of Wealth's Wish Room." He sits in front of the screen all night.

At first, when people see Qi Xiaoye's livestream, they sneer at it.

"What is this? Just a cheap stunt. It should be banned!"

"Come on, people, get a grip. There are no Gods of Wealth or lucky koi in this world. It's all nonsense."

Ten minutes later.

"Oh my god! I won the lottery! I can't believe I didn't buy more tickets!"

"Aaaah, help! I just pulled for my husband, and got him in the first ten-pull!"

"My results came out today. While I was waiting, I came in and made a wish, and I actually ranked first on the written exam!"

"Our child was sick. Thank you, Little God of Wealth! After I made a wish, I passed an online interview and got a great job!"

.

Qi Xiaoye loves seeing the smiles on people's faces after he helps them.

But... things aren't turning out the way the little koi said. He still has no money.

Qi Xiaoye sighs sadly and hides in the company's stairwell to eat a lunch roll.

It's okay! As long as I can help everyone, that's enough!

The door opens, followed by a warm, composed voice. "Isn't that too little to fill you up?"

Qi Xiaoye looks up, his eyes wide with surprise.

It's the person he was looking for!

"H-hello. You're handsome, and I really like you, so..." Blushing, Qi Xiaoye holds up three fingers, too shy to look at him. "Three wishes."

The big shot looks at Qi Xiaoye with interest, one eyebrow raised. "Go ahead."

Qi Xiaoye: "Huh???"

[Bonus scene]

On a hot day, Qi Xiaoye is carried to a rocking chair by the big shot to rest. He sneaks into the study, climbs onto the big shot's desk, and suddenly turns into a potted tree. With his two leaves, he earnestly shields the big shot from the sun and fans him with a cool breeze.

The big shot scowls and moves the lush green leaves away from his head. His voice is low. "Didn't you get enough crying in last night?"

Qi Xiaoye: X﹏X
