The Foolish Immortal Official’s Guide to Going Viral

A battered old temple gets a new trainee celestial official. He answers every prayer and becomes a wildly popular tourist attraction.

After a while, people start to notice something's off. The little celestial official not only gives random replies to prayers he's already read, but offers divine help without aftercare. And your wish might even get switched for something else!

A: Seriously, thanks for nothing. I prayed for love on Qixi, hoping for a handsome partner. Sure enough, a gorgeous guy confessed to me the very next day. But the problem is... I'm a guy too!

B: You guys, you know what I mean? Work was exhausting, and I just wanted to slack off. Then the next day, the shop closed and the owner ran off. Now I'm lying flat for real.

C: I prayed to get rid of my bad romances, and within three days every person who claimed to be interested in me had announced their relationship! I don't know whether to be happy or worried...

Other temples: That clueless celestial official is about to mess up!

Who could have guessed that after a while, the old temple still hadn't gone under? Instead, the villagers had even built a golden statue of the little celestial official.

Worshippers: The little celestial official is so effective. Fine, I'll take the switched wish. I can just add "no side effects" when I pray.

Heaven: We're doomed! We have no choice but to bring him into the fold now. Sweating profusely.JPG

Bai Qize is sure that Xu Huailan has it in for him.

When he fell into demonhood, Xu was ascending to immortality.

When he fought his way back to become the Heavenly Emperor, Xu became a demon.

And just when Bai finally became a mortal apprentice and followed him around, Xu started disappearing all the time.

He waited eighteen years in the human realm.

He waited five hundred years in Heaven.

He waited over ten thousand years in chaos.

That's it. He's not waiting anymore!

Xu Huailan only lost his darling. Bai lost his love

Reader's guide:

1. Some divine titles and names in the story are based on existing ones, while others are fictional. Please don't take them too seriously.

2. Happy ending, mutually devoted, lighthearted, and a little silly~

3. The original title was The Trainee Celestial Official Offers Divine Help Without Aftercare. It might be changed back someday.

Inspired by things online. Blurb posted on August 3, 2023, and a screenshot has been saved.

Taking on the challenge of writing a sweet romance under 200,000 characters. My upcoming romance, A Guide to Self-Rescue for the Dragon Proud Heaven Foil, is available to preorder. Sweethearts, take a look at the author's profile~

Qi Rong transmigrated into a Dragon Proud Heaven-style male power fantasy novel that ranked first on the bestseller list.

To pander to readers who favor the male gaze, the author ruined the ending. The heroine, who had been by the hero's side throughout his rise, died saving him just before the finale. And the hero promptly turned around and married a powerful man's daughter, a delicate young wife more than ten years his junior. The tragic Dragon Proud Heaven became a kept man and a Chen Shimei, completely destroying his character!

Readers tore into the book, cursing it from the top of the bestseller list all the way to the top of the worst-books list!

And Qi Rong was the poster who started the most popular negative review thread in the readers' discussion board.

Good news: His mission is to change the ending and get the novel back on the bestseller list!

Bad news: He transmigrated into the Dragon Proud Heaven's foil, the book's number-one villain.

Good news: This foil has status, stunning looks, and peerless martial arts, allowing ordinary guy Qi Rong to experience the joys of being a privileged elite.

Bad news: The story was already just a few chapters from the end when he transmigrated into the book, and the Dragon Proud Heaven's sword was already at Qi Rong's throat.

Good news: The heroine is still alive. If Qi Rong can save her, he still has a chance of escaping the Dragon Proud Heaven.

Bad news: In the original story, the heroine was poisoned with a deadly toxin by Qi Rong while saving the hero. After Qi Rong was killed by the Dragon Proud Heaven, she died because there was no antidote. And to save her, Qi Rong has to give her his blood regularly.

Good news: The Dragon Proud Heaven never fell in love with the delicate second heroine, and the first heroine survived!

Bad news: The Dragon Proud Heaven doesn't seem to plan on killing Qi Rong anymore. He's planning to imprison him!

Good news: The novel is back on the bestseller list after falling to the worst-books list.

Bad news, from the original author's perspective: It switched from the male-oriented category to the female-oriented category.

My upcoming novel How Do You Deal with a Chancellor This Beautiful? is a continuation of the extra chapters for Married My Nemesis as My Husband. If you're interested, take a look~~

A chancellor adored by all and a Dragon Proud Heaven emperor

Arrogant, sharp-tongued bottom x short-tempered, clingy top

The powerful chancellor Yan Yunli suddenly falls from grace and is thrown into a bronze cauldron as a sacrifice to Heaven.

Reborn, he wakes up determined to live freely and never get involved in worldly affairs again! Whether the world falls into chaos or the Three Realms collapse, all he needs is a bed to lie flat on.

Warlord A: Master, I long for worthy talent. I'll give you mountains of gold and silver.

Yan Yunli: Go away.

Warlord B: Strategist, join my army and let me show you the whole world.

Yan Yunli: See you never.

Young Lord Ling Xiaobai: Lili, come to my tent. I'm all yours.

Yan Yunli: Runs away in the middle of the night

Unable to avoid them any longer, Yan Yunli decides to go over to the villain's side and get himself killed. That's better than being thrown into a pot of boiling oil later.

Advisor A: A mind as sharp as a demon's will become a threat. Kill him.

Advisor B: A beauty who could topple kingdoms must be a monster. Kill him.

Villain: You're so beautiful. Why not stay in my harem?

Yan Yunli: Runs away in the middle of the night

Why, despite doing everything in reverse, has the world ended up in Ling Xiaobai's hands again?

And now the coronation ceremony is just around the corner...

Yan Yunli: Runs away in the middle of the night

Emperor Ling Xiaobai blocks his way.

Yan Yunli: I'm not becoming chancellor.

Ling Xiaobai: Fine. Then become empress.

Yan Yunli: Runs away in the middle of the night

Black-rimmed glasses, round face, short, timid

His name is Yuan Qi, and he's stacked with debuffs

At school, people nicknamed him Round Seven

At work, he was bullied mercilessly in the office

Finally, he was made the scapegoat and fired. As he left in disgrace, he got into a car accident

When he opened his eyes again,

he was back at his desk in the office

Facing the workplace jerks in his life once more,

he decided to go feral and save himself, leaving everyone else with nothing to say

Coworker A: Yuan Qi, go tell the boss to cancel the compensatory days off.

Yuan Qi opens his boss's door: He wanted me to take the blame. That's it.

Cold, handsome boss: Hold on. What are you doing with your vacation?

Yuan Qi: ?

Coworker B: Yuan Qi, you and the intern stay late and help me with this. I have to pick up my kid.

Yuan Qi grabs the intern: She wants free labor from us. Let's leave on time.

Puppy-like intern: Brother Qi, let's go play ball after work.

Yuan Qi: ?

Coworker C: Yuan Qi, we're splitting up the sales team. Go join the top salesperson.

Yuan Qi finds the top salesperson: The lowest performer in each group gets cut. Nobody wants to join your death squad. No one can beat you,

Top salesperson: I'll give you half my sales.

Yuan Qi: ?

At the end of the year, the company held a cull of its lowest performers, and everyone voted for Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi walked into the general manager's office with his resignation letter.

The top salesperson rushed in: Yuan Qi, come with me! I'll take you to the number-one company in the industry worldwide. I've already arranged it.

General manager: You're jumping ship?

The intern rushed in: Yuan Qi, you don't have to leave. My dad owns this company, so I'll decide.

General manager: The heir?

The boss rushed in: Yuan Qi, it's up to you whether you leave. Our group has already acquired this company, so you can pick any position you want.

Yuan Qi looked at the general manager's chair...

General manager: Holy crap!!!

Message: Even an idiot can succeed
