[Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West + Investiture of the Gods + a made-up mythological setting. Set in the present day, one thousand years after Chen Xiang amended the Heavenly Laws.]
The moment Xiyue opened her eyes, she found herself in charge of the Three Realms. But the Heavenly Court was in the grip of a craze for descending to the mortal world.
One fairy bribed the King of Hell to extend her lover's life, creating an entire criminal enterprise.
One immortal lord chased his wife to no avail, then forcibly reversed time and threw three thousand worlds into chaos.
One black serpent tried to follow Bai Suzhen's path to immortality, but actually went through the proper channels, dated a doctor, and flooded Kunlun Mountain.
One Thunder God flew into a rage whenever he argued with his wife, striking down future colleagues undergoing tribulation and leaving the Heavenly Court short on talent.
One drought demon kidnapped a beauty's coworker to put on a performance of instantly evaporating him, just to make the beauty smile. The victim, a dragon, said, "Not a drop left."
Faced with such chaos in the Three Realms, Xiyue thought: As expected! When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms lose their peace!
Xiyue decided to restrain herself, restore propriety, and promote new laws. She would hold weekly meetings, make examples of offenders, and give lectures... She would put a stop to this craze for descending to the mortal world.
But she now faced two major problems:
1. How could she make her way in this world with a blank script and no memories?
2. As a newly parachuted-in member of management, how could she fit in with her new coworkers?
