[Journey to the West] [Officialdom] [Feel-Good] [Absurd Comedy]
After transmigrating into a good-for-nothing in the cultivation world, Li Chang'an conned his way into ascending to the Heavenly Court over three hundred years. The moment he arrived, he was dumbfounded!
He had assumed that immortals and gods were sages who lived on wind and dew. As it turned out, the Heavenly Court was even more corrupt than the mortal realm.
No immortal roots and no connections?
No problem!
He came with the executive-management buff of Blue Star, was a master of workplace politics, and knew all the ins and outs of human relationships!
As a clerk at the Ascension Affairs Office, while others coasted through life, Li Chang'an used his social savvy to build a network, bringing fellow townsmen, old acquaintances, and even a mongrel dog into Heavenly Court civil service. He built himself a web of connections from the ground up!
The Internal Audit Office of the Thunder Ministry was coming to extort his sister over sneaking a peach from the Peach Garden?
Li Chang'an immediately reached out to Xiaotian Quan.
Li Jing wanted to take him down?
Erlang Shen had his back!
His colleagues wanted to trip him up?
He used public funds to bribe the bigwigs!
The Peach Banquet was about to fall through?
He simply "borrowed" the leftovers from previous years from Erlang Shen's manor!
Others cultivated immortality by meditating. Li Chang'an got promoted by making money and building connections! From a low-ranking clerk to a powerful figure in the Heavenly Court...
