During the Yin Dynasty, people throughout the Jianghuai region worshipped the Five Manifestations God of Wealth in their homes. The Five Manifestations God was no righteous deity. Though capable of bringing people fortune, this wild god also governed plague and lust.
A body aglow with golden light, both righteous and wicked, a beast in fine clothing with a dignified appearance. With the most orthodox bearing, this god committed the most lewd acts. Beyond the reach of karmic retribution, the god enjoyed endless offerings and accepted every prayer born of selfish desire and shame, so long as you had the nerve to lay your offerings upon the altar.
Power, money, sex, fortune: whatever you ask for, the god can grant, and whatever you desire, the god will give you.
The greediest of evil gods, the god had incense and offerings in abundance, and granted every request for men and women alike!

While conducting fieldwork, Jiang Lan, a modern folklore student, fell into a dry well and unexpectedly transmigrated, becoming the very subject of her research: the Five Manifestations God.
The good news: the god is a God of Wealth, glowing with golden light.
The bad news: the god is consumed by wicked lust, with an appetite that can never be sated.
Better to channel than to block. To protect her consciousness from being corrupted, Jiang Lan must satisfy the Five Manifestations God's desires within reasonable limits. Thus begins her busy life.
By day, she must work at the local government office in human form to earn money and support her sister-in-law.
"Honored officials, the documents have all been registered."
At night, she must sample the fresh flesh of all kinds of male demons.
"Demons from every mountain, if you want something, you'll have to trade something of equal value. If you have nothing to offer, you can use your bodies."
Late at night, she must hurry to the bed of a beautiful married woman.
"Your husband offered you to me in exchange for good fortune. Madam, it's time to repay the debt."
Running around nonstop all day long. Sigh, the God of Wealth is busy, really busy.
[A few little notes]
1. Since the female lead is a deity, she has both male and female forms.
2. No beautiful, kind-hearted wife is harmed in this story.
3. Some delicate, pitiful little male demons may be harmed in this story.
4. There are a few light elements of Chinese-style cosmic horror.
5. In human form, the female lead has a moral compass. In divine form, she is brazen, cunning, and lawless.
