The God of Wealth Fell from the Sky

The God of Wealth Fell from the Sky

On a rainy night when Lin Xiaoman, a corporate slave, lost both her love and job, she was suddenly hit by a man in a golden-trimmed ancient robe. He claimed to be Zhou Jingming, the God of Wealth who had made a mistake, and had to fulfill three of her wishes to return to Heaven. But this "God of Wealth" couldn't turn stones into gold at all—instead, he would secretly pay her rent, cook sweet lotus root with osmanthus when she worked overtime, and even recognize the ancient jade pendant she hid in her old box! The more Xiaoman got along with him, the more confused she became: How did he know she loved warm pear soup the most? How could he recognize the silver hairpin from her past life at a glance? It wasn't until Zhou Jingming's divine power began to fade that she uncovered the 500-year-old secret: Back then, the young fairy Zhou Jingming and the mortal Xiaoman had fallen in love, but were forced apart by heavenly rules; now he's been banished to the mortal world just to make up for the unsaid "I want to be with you" from that year. But when the third wish comes, Zhou Jingming asks her to choose—let him return to Heaven to survive, or use the last wish to exchange for their lifetime together in this life? What he doesn't know is that in Xiaoman's old phone, there's already a photo: a portrait of them under a peach tree in their past life, with the words "Next life, I'll wait for you" written on the back.

But troubles pile up: Xiaoman's client confesses with a diamond ring in public, Lu Chuan's female colleague blocks his desk with flowers, and worst of all, the company is评选 "Best Partner"—they're so in sync they can revise proposals together, but dare not stand on stage to accept the award.
