The Mountain Village Inn That's All the Rage Across the Three Realms

No rebirth, no System, no golden finger, and no serious cultivation~~

Song Zhiyu, a banished celestial who has always lived carefree, opens a humble restaurant to earn gold bars.

Unable to bear watching the female ghost, who had been a general in life, get destroyed, he curses the God of Wealth, whom he once secretly knelt before at night.

The God of Wealth both loves and hates Song Zhiyu. Fortunately, he ties Song Zhiyu's life to his newly opened restaurant: if the restaurant stands, Song Zhiyu lives; if it falls, he dies.

Song Zhiyu decides to make the best of things and becomes a bridge between humans, ghosts, gods, demons, and every other kind of being.

But, well, gold is a must.

Gold coins, humble copper. Pay up, get the job done, deal closed. A thousand years unchanged, as clear as the moon.

From then on, ghosts, demons, and gods across the Three Realms begin a life of feasting.

One day, the master of the Liu residence books a banquet. The ghostly guests he invited have all finished their feast when word comes that Master Liu is dead.

The one who comes to investigate is none other than Song Zhiyu's disciple, Zhang Meisheng. He immediately declares that the killer is among the guests. Song Zhiyu dashes over and shuts the doors to investigate!

They don't find the culprit. Instead, they pull a rich, handsome man named Mu Yuntan out of a black mud monster. He has a boyish face, an old man's heart, and, above all, plenty of money.

Just as the case reaches a stalemate, a giant green frog smashes through the restaurant wall.

Mu Yuntan sits cross-legged on the frog's back, leaving behind only a faint silhouette. "Until next time."

Hey, handsome, if you wanted to leave, you could've just told me! Why smash the wall?

That costs a fortune!!

Song Zhiyu chases after him, trying to stop him. "Don't go! Pay for the damage!"

The first time they met, he made Song Zhiyu cough up blood and pass out.

You've even got the Demon King as your mount, and you still say you're not the Demon King?

"I borrowed it. One gold ingot for two hours."

You've even got the Demon King's weapon, and you still say you're not the Demon King?

"I stole it."

Mu Yuntan: "If you like someone, you should bring them something to eat."

Song Zhiyu: Chu Liu and I both ate it.

Chu Liu: Another classic line for sucking up to the boss.

Additional notes:

1. The whole story is fictional~~ If there are any plot holes, I'll do my best to fix them, fix them, fix them, fix them. (I may occasionally make sudden edits~~)

2. The cities in the story can be thought of as being the size of countries.

3. This is a slow-burn story~~ There may be lots of everyday scenes, usually interactions between the two leads. Sometimes the main plot moves at a breakneck pace, though, and everything happens all at once.

4. Happy ending, so read with confidence.

Theme: Everything in the world is unique, and everyone deserves to be the main character.
