Why Does the God of Death Have to Take the Civil Service Exam?

The full story costs only 3.75. Thank you, lovely readers, for supporting the official version!

An overpowered, devoted husband with max combat ability x a refined, intellectual elite with max intelligence, who's a slow-on-the-uptake God of Death

Ise (gong) x Lin Cheng'an (shou)

After dying in a car accident, Lin Cheng'an inexplicably inherited the position of God of Death and was forced to take over the Reincarnation Management Center.

As its name suggests, the Reincarnation Management Center is an organization under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Realm. It handles guiding the souls of the dead onward to reincarnation.

After the previous God of Death fell into a deep sleep and vanished five years ago, the center gradually fell into disarray without a leader. Disorder and heavy-handed law enforcement became commonplace, and it had nearly turned into a thorn in the side of the entire Celestial Realm.

Lin Cheng'an looked at his subordinates, who were lax and showed no respect for authority, then glanced at the order he had just received demanding a full overhaul. His head began to ache.

The future looked bleak!

To deal with the center's problems, he caught Ise, a black cat he happened to meet, and made a contract with him, appointing him his familiar and assistant. He also cleverly introduced a civil service exam system to overhaul recruitment and staffing at the center.

Job applications, written exams, interviews: the whole works!

During the overhaul, Lin Cheng'an discovered that his assistant was good at everything: strong, capable, and just a little clingy. He even insisted on sharing a bed at night.

Still, he was competent, and Lin Cheng'an could pet him when he turned into a little cat, so he could put up with it.

Through their joint efforts, staff at the center were assigned scientifically and became more qualified. The entire organization was brought under control, earning the Celestial Realm's award for Best Team.

People from across the Celestial Realm came to see for themselves. Looking at the center's now-disciplined staff, who enforced the law by the book, they fell silent.

Quite a contrast, huh? Who would have thought these people used to act like street thugs?

Hearing that, Ise, Lin Cheng'an's personal assistant, remembered how his Lord God of Death was decisive and efficient at work, yet could host guests and cook at home, and even knit sweaters for cats. He glanced at Lin Cheng'an and said quietly:

"Then you haven't seen an even bigger contrast."

Lin Cheng'an: ?

Later, when Lin Cheng'an was caught in a scandal, framed for embezzlement, and condemned by everyone, he saw enormous black wings spread out behind Ise, blotting out the sky like night itself as a tremendous energy surged from his body.

Ise calmly admitted that he was the previous God of Death, silencing everyone. Then he parted the crowd, stepped in front of Lin Cheng'an, and gently drew him into his arms, lowering his head to whisper: Don't be afraid.

Lin Cheng'an was stunned. ? You said you were a little black cat, but you were the previous God of Death all along?

How are you the one with the bigger contrast?

P.S.

1. Both are each other's one and only. A sweet, mutually devoted romance with no angst at heart.

2. Wishing everyone success in their exams!

Synopsis:

Healing, sickly bubble tea shop owner shou x cool, devoted, jealous marshal gong

Bai Yi (shou) x Leon (gong)

Bai Yi transmigrates and becomes an ordinary person in the interstellar age, with not a penny to his name.

Looking at his empty wallet and bank account, he has no choice but to go back to his old line of work.

He opens a bubble tea shop in the interstellar age.

But while getting the shop ready, he somehow attracts a strange man.

Bai Yi is completely baffled when the man storms into his shop in a rage.

"You disappeared on me for three years, and now you think you can just come back?"

Leon, the legendary war god and marshal of the empire, grabs his hand and pins him against the wall. A flash of resentment flickers in his eyes.

*

From that day on, Bai Yi is utterly confused by the marshal who suddenly starts clinging to him.

The marshal, whom he has never met before, is maddeningly unpredictable. He makes things difficult for Bai Yi and targets him, yet also helps him in his own awkward way.

When Bai Yi chats normally with an employee, Leon scowls and forcibly pulls him away.

When Bai Yi is trapped in the shop by the rain, Leon waits outside with a stern expression and drives him home.

When Bai Yi's landlord breaks their rental agreement, Leon says nothing and lets him move into his home.

He is also absolutely convinced that Bai Yi is the ex who dumped him three years ago.

Bai Yi, who has been single his whole life: So I'm being saddled with the label of a cheating scumbag now.

*

After Leon's unwavering insistence goes on and on, Bai Yi begins to waver, until someone who looks just like him shows up at the door.

Oh no, Leon really did mistake him for someone else.

Realizing this, Bai Yi snaps out of it, secretly hides his stirred heart, packs his bags, and boards a starship bound for another planet.

But just as he is about to leave, Leon, who has always been strict and impartial, uses his authority for the first time to stop the starship on its route.

In front of everyone, he boards the ship himself, hoists Bai Yi over his shoulder without a word, and carries him into the cabin.

He binds Bai Yi's hands with his tie. His cold fingers brush Bai Yi's cheek as his gaze turns dark and fierce.

"I never mistake anyone."

"What, trying to run again?"

P.S. No substitute lovers, real or fake. The gong has only ever loved the shou, and there was a reason the two of them broke up before.

Theme: Protect animals and respect life.
