He is also Yu Xiang's childhood neighbor.

One day, Yu Xiang's mother earnestly lectured him, saying, "Look at Jiang Ci next door, he's handsome and studies well, you..."

Yu Xiang, who was playing a game, replied, "Oh, so? Do you want me to marry him and bring him home as your son?" Yu Mom was shocked, wanting to refute but not knowing how to say, "No..." Yu Xiang quickly put down his game and stood up, "Alright, I'm going now."

But just as he was about to "show his skills," Jiang Ci approached him proactively: "You said before that you don't like ugly people. Am I good-looking?" Yu Xiang was stunned: "Yes, good-looking." Jiang Ci: "We grew up together." Yu Xiang: "That's right." Jiang Ci: "Both our names have two characters." Yu Xiang: "So?" Jiang Ci concluded expressionlessly: "So we're a perfect match." Yu Xiang: "???"

Pre-order "I Hooked a Mountain God by Fortune-telling" Synopsis: White-on-black mountain god seme X silly con man uke. The first meeting between Chi Yue and the mountain god Mo Qing was at a fortune-telling stall under a bridge.

"This young master, by a quick calculation, your fate is abundant with peach blossoms today, and you are destined for a romantic encounter tonight," Chi Yue stroked his fake beard, looking profoundly mysterious. Mo Qing: "Oh?" Chi Yue: "However, I need to provide a little guidance to ensure your success." Mo Qing said with interest: "Then please enlighten me, sir?" Chi Yue held out a finger: "One hundred taels." Mo Qing paid readily. Chi Yue: "Go to the Mountain God Temple on Mount Shentu tonight, you won't be disappointed."

As a result, a sudden heavy rainstorm hit that night. Chi Yue, on his way home after packing up his stall, had no choice but to enter the Mountain God Temple to seek shelter, where he found himself face-to-face with Mo Qing, who had already been waiting there. Chi Yue: "..." This young master, please let me explain.

Mo Qing smiled at him: "It seems you are my destined peach blossom." Chi Yue: "???" No, that's not it! After that day, everyone in the city knew that the young fortune teller had gained a handsome and distinguished follower. Chi Yue, the con man disguised as a fortune teller, was now truly sweating profusely: "I miscalculated, here's your hundred taels back, please stop following me, okay?"

Mo Qing shook his head and refused: "No, I'm determined to follow you." Later, anomalies struck the city, with various strange incidents and unsolved cases cropping up one after another. Chi Yue was forced to become embroiled, having to deal with demons and ghosts while also evading the pursuit of mysterious figures.

After encountering demons and ghosts for the nth time, Chi Yue finally couldn't take it anymore: "I've been honest! Please let me go!" Of course, he wasn't let go. Chi Yue cried out in despair: "Don't come any closer!" Just when he thought he was certainly going to die, Mo Qing, his gentle scholarly looking follower, appeared before him like a god, effortlessly dispatching the bunch of creatures.

Chi Yue stared blankly at Mo Qing, who had become even more handsome: "You're not human, are you?" Mo Qing, however, seemed like a different person, giving a non-sequitur response: "A mountain god does not reveal his true form before humans. Marry me, Chi Yue." Chi Yue had a bad feeling and wanted to run away, but Mo Qing grabbed him back.
