I’m Done Being a God

Su Chenchu was an utterly ordinary office worker. After dying suddenly from overwork, he ascended to immortality.

He had wanted to lie flat and enjoy the good life, but things didn't go as planned. The previous God of Great Sorrow had been under so much pressure that he jumped from the Immortal-Slaying Tower.

As it happened, Su Chenchu harbored deep resentment over his own sudden death, and through a twist of fate, he inherited the previous God's position.

Su Chenchu: ?

The moment he took over the job, his head began to ache.

Task 1: Collect rationality points from romantic tribulations and tally how many people pass.

Task 2: Send immortals who fail to meet the rationality-point requirement back to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations again.

With so many lovesick immortals around, Su Chenchu once again became an unlucky office worker, on call twenty-four hours a day.

At last, he couldn't take it anymore. Slamming the table, he roared, "I'm done being a god!"

The next morning, Su Chenchu came up with a foolproof plan: he would descend to the mortal realm himself, disguise himself as an immortal in need of a retake, and undergo their tribulations in their place.

So that very day, he jumped down to boost his performance numbers.

In his first life, Su Chenchu was a celebrated scholar in the capital, and the object of his romantic tribulation was a princess of a fallen kingdom.

He had to marry the princess first and fall in love later, then break with her over their differing allegiances and watch his beloved die with his own eyes.

On their wedding night, he discovered that the princess was a man.

Su Chenchu: "How am I supposed to love him? Tell me, how am I supposed to love him?"

Xu Yiliang: "Hey, this client's romantic-tribulation partner is actually pretty good-looking."

To fulfill his quota, Su Chenchu endured the humiliation, waiting only for the day the princess died for his country...

Yet when he watched Xu Yiliang leap from the city wall with his own eyes, his heart felt suddenly hollow, as though he had lost something incredibly important to him.

After successfully completing his tribulation and returning to the Heavenly Realm, Su Chenchu ran into an "old acquaintance."

Su Chenchu: "Wait, nobody told me this guy was undergoing someone else's romantic tribulation too!"
