The Old God's Lover

1. Lin Baizhou is an old god who stepped down after the old gods were replaced by the new. All his believers went to worship the new gods, except for one person who would rather become a lingering soul than stop worshipping him.

They reincarnated together nine times. In every life, the believer waited for him. By the time he found them, they had become a pile of bones.

In this, his tenth life, he is a highly regarded psychologist by day and a garbage collector by night.

By chance, he learns that his believer is the chosen one of this world, and that Systems and Hosts alike are trying to win him over.

System 1: [The chosen one is a poor wretch, unloved and unwanted. Become his savior, and he'll fall head over heels for you and personally hand over all his fortune.]

Host 1: "Haha, I'll finish the mission in no time!"

System 2: [The chosen one is stupid and pitiful. Submit his work to the competition again this time, and he surely won't object.]

Host 2: "Wonderful! The future master of Chinese painting is as good as mine!"

System 3: [The chosen one is deaf and mute. He must be desperate for love, so go for the romance route, Host. It'll definitely work!]

Host 3: "First I'll make him love me to pieces, then I'll dump him after completing the mission! I'll be the unattainable moonlight in his heart forever!"

One day, the Systems and Hosts all encounter the same person. The moment they get close to him, the mental stability of both Host and System instantly collapses, and they end up as bottles and jars stuffed into a garbage bag.

The chosen one they call stupid and pitiful follows at this person's side, gazing at him with admiration and affection as he says, "Zhouzhou, are these enough discards to meet your quota this month? If not, I'll lure in some more. They're so easy to fool."

2. Mu Xiaomi has had the same dream for as long as he can remember. In it, a godlike man cradles a pile of bones and weeps, saying, "In the next life, I'll come sooner and watch you sculpt a statue of me."

Later, the man appears before him just like the god in his dream, shielding him as if he were weak and driving away one ill-intentioned System and Host after another.

Wanting to get closer to the god, he shamelessly pretends to be weak, pins his god down, and does all kinds of shameful things to him. Then he wakes up and cries miserably: "I just feel so insecure. Please don't abandon me."

His god is softhearted and believes everything he says. Even though he's covered in shameful marks from being bullied, he still blushes and comforts him: "Xiaomi, don't be afraid."

His god is wonderful, while he is rotten to the core, but he will never let his god find out.
