On a jade desk was mountain of piles of wood name plates tied together. Mao Cai stretched out like a cat in satisfaction.

"This is the last one~" He looks at the name plate and with a swipe of a finger, more words appear. "One day, while the immortal Bian goes traveling on his flying sword, he falls down because of a roc bird scaring him. Then he falls into a lake where immortal Hou Ju was taking a bath. Thus their fates will intertwine."

He looks as a red string starts to form and connect both name plates.

"Master, are you making random stories again?" A voice rang over his shoulder.

Mao Cai smile twitched, "Yi'er, If it works, it works!"

The young man scratched his forehead.

"But something feels wrong? Won't immortal Bian blame you?"

"Psh! If you and I don't say, who will know..." Mao Cai stops and stares at him. "If you tell him, I'm going to drag you down with me!"

Mao Cai picked up another name plate.

My name is Mao Cai, the god of marriage. I transmigrated here as a newborn god and was forced to become the god of marriage. However with so much marriages, how would I even manage? That's why I only handle the marriages that are actually important.

Immortal Bian and Hou Ju had friends that wanted me to help to introduce them to love interests. To be honest, I just create opportunities for two people to fall in love. Like a story template.

Take this for example. Two people suddenly meet up at a bar in the night. The events before and after that are what I have to deal with. There are cases where even if they did meet and talk, they won't necessarily form a red string of love.

Since a lot of immortals bribe-Ahem-Ask for a favor to fall in love, I don't take some seriously and just make it happen regardless of how ridiculous a story can be.

When he first got here, the rules were really tough on love. No love for immortals basically. However, Mao Cai convinced the Celestial Emperor that love is something that can't be forced and it comes and go. If the rules keep forbidding love, then eventually no immortal would stay in the heavenly court if they fall in love. As long as they fulfill their duty, would it really matter?

Yi'er spoke casually, "Master the Celestial Emperor wants to talk with you."

"What?" He spoke with shock. "How long has he been waiting?"

"Uhhhhhh...." He counts on his fingers."Ah~ 3 hours." Yi'er smiled with pride.

"....God is really punishing me with such a useless teammate."

Mao Cai rushes to the guest room while fixing his clothes. The Celestial Emperor was his boss after all. He stood at the door and clasped his hand towards the Celestial Emperor.

"Mao Cai must have made you wait, I beg for your forgiveness."

"Haha, Mao Cai, I didn't want to bother with your work so I told Yi'er to not bother you till you were finish. Come, sit."

Mao Cai sat on the chair across the emperor and didn't beat around the bush. "I wonder what matters brings his majesty here?"

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Haha, you were right with your suggestion after all 1,000 years ago. Love comes and goes like the passing wind. It's futile to stop it and forcing it to stop is harmful rather then helpful. Your words woke me up and gave me a new sense of enlightenment."

"It was just a passing remark. I hope that his majesty won't feel offended."

He waved his hands. "No, no, how could I? These 1,000 years I've seen countless immortals fall in love, but that only drove their drive to perform better. Even I, who was tempered in front of love still fell into it."

Mao Cai looked patiently at him while thinking to himself.

sigh~ Just tell me what you need.

The Celestial Emperor took out a profile out.

"I would like you to set my daughter up with a immortal."

SHOCK! 🙈🙈🙈

Mao Cai shook uncontrollably not daring to take it with his own two hands and had his best poker face on. "Are you talking about the 3rd princess? The bright and cheerful Xue Xiaolin?"

"Ehm...No." A bead of sweat showed as he brushed his mustache and beard.

Mao Cai shook even more this time, sensing a ominous future ahead. "It can't be the 4th princess, Xue Jiayi, the god of war right?

The Celestial Emperor taps his finger on the desk still not answering.

"Don't tell me..." Mao Cai said with lifeless eyes, "It's 2nd princess....Xue Chuntao?"

He nods. "...That's right." Even the Celestial Emperor knew it was a tough request and closed his eyes.

Xue Chuntao....Mao Cai would've never had guessed it. It was understandable for the 3rd and 4th princess, but the 2nd?

That is like a peasant trying to become the emperor.

Xue Chuntao had a reputable reputation. She was the classic ice cold beauty that everyone idolized. But in reality her cold glare can cut your heart to shards of ice instead!

One of her suitors who tried their luck got his hand cut off and was even sent to work as a janitor for the 7th prison pagoda.

If she learns Mao Cai tried to set her up with someone?

She would kill me!

This time Mao Cai looks at the Celestial Emperor with big puppy eyes.

"Stop it Mao Cai, you aren't cute at all."

Tch!

"But you're majesty! How can I even dare to arrange her marriage?"

"Eh? You were able to convince me that love shouldn't be forbidden, surely you can convince my daughter that too right?"

"Y-your majesty-"

He raised his hand to stop Mao Cai, "If you do well, I can award your retirement that you've been asking for these hundred of years."

"Fret not, your majesty. I will accomplish your task without fail!" A strong determination filled his eyes.

"Hn."

The Celestial Emperor hands the profile to Mao Cai.

The first page was how she looked.

The second page described the things she liked and dislike.

Likes: Cultivation.

Dislikes: Frivolous men. Cheating Men. Stupid men. Dog licking men.

His right eye twitched reading these.

She's practically married to cultivation!

"Well, I'll leave it up to you then."

When Mao Cai looked up, he had already vanished.

He looked down on the profile once more with a even greater determination.

I've had to deal with even more strange immortals in my time to be intimidated by this.

He cracked his neck left and right inaudibly with a sense of pride in his stride as he moves towards his desk.

I don't believe I can't get you interested in love!

That was his plan right now. As long as she gets interested in love, it's his win.

He looks at the list of man of who wanted a partner. 100 and thousands of names appeared.

"Lets get started!"

His brush moved fast and ferocious.

"Zhong Gen, while looking at flowers looks up and sees Xue Chuntao. He invites her over to view the bloom of a 9,000 ice flower."

A red rope started to form.

Come on....

Snap!

The rope which were about to form broke. However he wasn't shaken and continued.

"Feng Si, his little niece falls in front of Xue Chuntao."

"Chen Qilin, his painting falls and reaches Xue Chuntao's feet."

....

After 30 tries, still no results.

"Impressive." He sneered upwards as the adrenaline rushes to his brain. "But I'm just getting started."

This time, instead of writing on the name plate he plucked out a red hair of his.

"Because I was born as the god of marriage, my hair especially can be used to substitute the red string! Although it's a lot more forced and I have to use hundreds years of my cultivation, it's worth it!"

He pulled the hair and wrapped it around her nameplate. Then with the other end-

"Master!"

"Not now!"

"Really?" A flat voice spoke through the void and penetrated the space. Mao Cai held the plate behind his back instinctively.

Fuuuuuuuuck
