Chu Zhishui thought she’d finally achieved peak adulting: a new home and a stable job. Her dream of a relaxed, drama-free work life was about to begin. Little did she know, her new position at the supernatural bureau was anything but ordinary. In a delightful twist of fate, Chu Zhishui, a perfectly normal human, finds herself the sole mortal among a diverse cast of mythical beings. Forget ancient legends; these supernatural creatures are just trying to make a living, pursuing stable careers and the coveted “iron rice bowl” just like everyone else. This sets the stage for the uproarious comedy, "I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau Novel."

While establishing herself at the supernatural bureau proves surprisingly easy – her dedication and competence quickly earn her respect – Chu Zhishui soon discovers that office politics are universal, even in a world of magic and otherworldly powers. Her biggest challenge isn't dealing with a grumpy goblin or a mischievous spirit, but rather her department head’s relentless obsession with matchmaking. "Little Chu, you're doing wonderfully. Shouldn't you consider settling down? Let me find you someone. What's your ideal partner like?"

Desperate to politely deflect her boss’s well-intentioned but intrusive interference, Chu Zhishui concocts an impossibly long and detailed list of requirements. "I'm not picky. Just someone attractive, devoted to my parents, handy around the house, who can support the family... and able to bear children." She assumes this absurd fantasy list will surely end the conversation. Instead, her department head simply beams, "Excellent! We have exactly the person for you right in this office. Why not confess your feelings?"

Chu Zhishui's jaw drops. Her carefully constructed plan has backfired spectacularly. What started as a quest for a peaceful career has spiraled into a whirlwind of unexpected romance and hilarious complications. Will Chu Zhishui find love amidst the chaos of mythical coworkers and a meddling boss, or will her dream of simply slacking off at the demon bureau remain just that – a dream? Dive into this charming josei romance and experience the delightful antics of a human navigating the supernatural corporate world. This fantasy comedy promises laughs, heartwarming moments, and a unique take on office life.
