Set in the modern day
Sociable, fashion-loving God of Wealth gong x sharp-tongued, bold, proud shou
[Older man]
A little note: Shangzhi (zhi, fourth tone) is an official title, something like a judge.
[The Shangzhi turns the earth into a courtroom, and with a stroke of his brush decides life and death]
[The God of Wealth wards off disaster and harm, bestowing blessings and riches]
He Zhiyu is an immortal. After finally making it through his internship and becoming a full-fledged Shangzhi, he was falsely accused of taking bribes and banished to the mortal realm. The Heavenly Emperor ordered him to run a tiny law firm. Ordinary people assumed his business was so slow it was on the verge of closing.
Only He Zhiyu knew that, whenever night fell and all was quiet, one nonhuman client after another lined up to ask for legal advice.
As it turned out...
Every nonhuman client said the same thing: "You're the newly appointed Shangzhi? Why do you look so unreliable? I heard you take bribes..."
He Zhiyu held fast to the principles that he hated prejudice more than anything and would defend fairness to the death, fulfilling the wishes of his nonhuman clients.
The white-haired puppet: "Your Highness... Could you make me another body...?"
The mechanic covered in scars: "If only I could hold its soul one more time..."
The girl in the white dress: "Your Highness... Actually, I think staying in the picture frame is pretty nice... How about..."
From then on, a tale spread through Heaven and Earth: "Until a case is settled, no one can leave His Highness the Shangzhi's courtroom."
Seeing He Zhiyu thrive in the mortal realm, the immortals began trying to curry favor with him. Every one of them was turned away, and some weren't even allowed through his front door.
Before long, another rumor about His Highness the Shangzhi began circulating: he was keeping a beauty hidden away.
He Zhiyu looked at the handsome man in his home, ignoring the delicacies laid out before him as he focused on figuring out how to cut the luncheon meat on his plate into a heart. It was hard to believe the man before him was Shen Jinzhou, the God of Wealth.
At last, Shen Jinzhou gently pushed his plate toward He Zhiyu. His long lashes fluttered, and his voice was captivating. "Your Highness the Shangzhi, when are you going to tell everyone we're back together?"
