Chapter Text
Wei ying has a problem. No, scratch that, he has multiple problems. But what seems to be the biggest problem right now was the fact that he was hanging upside down from his apartment window which was 5 stories high. The only thing keeping him from falling to hs death were his pants and a hook on the window ledge.
Now, you might be wondering how he came to be in this situation or should I saw position. But unfortunately not even Wei ying knows how exactly he got himself stuck in this situation. You see, wei ying has a knack for getting into sticky and uncomfortable situations. His bold, reckless and impulsive nature had a lot to contribute to it. So, to understand how he came to be where he is let's start at the beginning.

It all startes with him being unemployed. He had left his previous job(got fired..)at an established IT firm under the Wen Corporation after he punched the president's son Wen Chao across the face for being a huge jerkface to the other employees. And if you ask him, it was worth losing his job for. He had wanted to do that for a long time. Unfortunately for him(I am going to say this a lot) his aunt was absolutely appalled with his behaviour. The Wens and Jiangs had had friendly and mutually beneficial relations with each other for a long time. This one mistake of his could jeopardize this anytime. Hell no. No way was Yu Ziyuan letting that happen. And so she refused to let Wei Wuxian join the jiang Corporation. She did not relent when he tried pleading. She did not relent when her husband requested her and she did not relent when everyone told her Wei Ying would be a perfect fit for their company.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY! " She had declared and that was the end of it. Three months had passed, his savings has started draining up yet Wei ying still did not have a job. Which was unusual because he had an excellent resume, cover letter and was recommended by renowned professors from uni and other places he had worked at. He figured it must've been the Wens. They just could not let him live in peace. Since high school they had been pain in his ass. It did stop for a while after he put a compass on Wen Chao's seat when he wasn't looking. But then resumed again at his workplace.
Now he had no idea what to do. Here he was in his apartment, five beer cans in looking for odd jobs.He supposed he would have to look for work in other smaller fields and was looking for any openings. If you asked him now he would not admit to it and say he was in his right mind. But I think we all know that Wei ying was quite tipsy if not wasted. In his tipsy stupor he came upon a strange link to a website that stated in bold letters:
Looking for jobs? Come be a grim reaper. No resumes, cover letters or experience needed. You only need to have dependable character. Sign up if you're interested and we got you covered*(^o^)/*
Now every sober person knows not to sign up for jobs from suspicious websites that don't check your resume. Especially not those websites which use emojis to communicate. But Wei ying
1.Wasn't really sober
2.Was really Desperate
3.Was Convinced that he had a dependable character
So he signed up.
And that... Was the biggest mistake or blessing of his life.

Wei ying stared at the screen for a long time as it was processing. He half expected a big scary skeletal dude in a dark cloak to appear in front of him. But after a while when nothing happened he leaned back with a sigh. What was he thinking? How is this even possible? Grim reapers don't exist. It is probably some sketchy website trying to steal his money.
Thinking this he was just about to cancel the sign in when a bright flash illuminated the room. Startled he fell back with a gasp trying to adjust to the light. A large white wolf stood in the middle of his room glaring at him. With a scream he scrambled back, unlocked the window and did the stupidest thing ever. He tried to take a dive. Well you can say that it is true that fear drives people to do the stupidest things.
Which Brings us to how he came to be hanging upside down from his window, 5 stories high, terrified and all signs of drunkenness gone.
That's it. He thought.I am either getting torn to pieces or plummeting to my death. And if I had to choose I'd rather plummet to my death.
But before he could, he felt someone pull him up by his shirt. For a second he thought that it was the wolf which would try to eat him up now but when he looked, standing before him was the most beautiful man he had ever seen; long black hair braided back neatly, shimmery eyes that glittered like gold and skin as smooth as jade. He was dressed in soft, blue, cotten sweater and dark jeans. He wore a blue forehead ribbon with intricate cloud designs on them He held a regal and solemn expression on his face. In short, he looked like an otherworldly prince.
"Woah... " Wei ying said and then threw up.
Incredible wei ying. Incredible.
