Even Gods Get Face Blindness

Si Renyu had been called absent-minded by the elders of his clan ever since he was little.

But he didn't care. He was gifted and only needed to focus on his cultivation, then ascend to godhood after his tribulation.

Who could have guessed that something would go wrong in the human world, and he'd be kicked down to "set things right"?

Si Renyu only had time to shout, "I don't know anyone!"

The clan elders exchanged glances, but it was already too late.

After descending to the mortal realm, he worked diligently to help the young emperor deal with the great traitor in court. Just as he was on the verge of success, the person the clan had sent to assist him finally arrived. That's when Si Renyu learned he'd wasted three years!

The ruler he was actually supposed to assist was none other than the "great traitor" he had spent three years opposing: the Regent!

Si Renyu promptly switched sides and joined the Regent's camp.

He'd expected the Regent to make things difficult for him in every possible way, but who knew this kind of "making things difficult" would be something else entirely?

He was fed all kinds of delicacies every day. This was so much better than working for the young emperor!

Yu Changjin had noticed, long ago, a minister who deliberately tried to attract his attention.

Whenever Yu made a move, the man was the first to sneak over to the Regent's residence and eavesdrop.

He wore an ugly blue robe and always crouched by the same windowsill, apparently thinking Yu couldn't see him.

Such obvious eavesdropping was clearly meant to be seen!

Yu Changjin took one look at that ugly court robe, dragged the man over, and gave him a thorough makeover. Now that was more like it.

The next day, the Regent watched helplessly as the little minister he'd just dressed up put his blue robe back on and followed the emperor around.

The emperor didn't even pay him any attention, yet he kept badmouthing Yu.

Yu Changjin: What a fool!

Later,

Yu Changjin: I'm the real fool.

As the leader of the Four Spirits, Si Renyu always drew all kinds of animals who'd heard of him, coming to recognize him as their "mountain king."

Si Renyu looked after his little underlings well, helping them take human form and arranging government posts for them.

The little underlings diligently followed their boss in opposing the Regent, their nemesis. Just as he was about to fall, their boss told them that they were all going to be one family from now on.

The little underlings: Boss, aren't we taking him down anymore?

Si Renyu, who'd been outmaneuvered and had a sore bottom: I'm furious with embarrassment!!

Featuring a little self-delusion and mistaken identity. Very sweet.
