You're a Maniac, I'm Unhinged, Together We'll Conquer the Horror World

[Two Male Leads, 1v1, Both Pure, Chinese-Style Horror, Madness Fiction]

[Dark, psychotic evil-spirit male lead vs. survival-instinct-maxing, theatrical, frail beauty author]

"The Startling Ancient Jade" is a novel written by Jiang Lai. It tells the inspiring story of the male lead, Qin Zhimian, who uses an ancient jade to enter horror instances, leveling up and fighting monsters along the way.

One day, a reader gave it a one-star review and angrily complained that the protagonist had it too easy, leaving nothing satisfying to read.

Jiang Lai took the criticism to heart, waved a hand, and rewrote the plot, putting the male lead through hell.

The male lead was stabbed to death by the villain, who stole the ancient jade and sealed his soul inside it. In the horror instances, the evil-spirit male lead slaughtered innocent players, building up resentment until he cut off the villain's head...

The next day, Jiang Lai transmigrated into the story as the frail villain and triggered a horror livestream.

[Streamer Jiang Lai, your mission is to dispel the horror world built by the male lead, Qin Zhimian, and redeem the evil spirit.]

Jiang Lai: ...Do you hear yourself? You're sending me to my death!

[Upon completing the mission, one trillion in prize money will be deposited instantly.]

For a mere trillion, I'd do more than risk my life. I'd walk through fire and climb a mountain of blades!

Ghost Marriage instance.

Jiang Lai put on wedding clothes and was pushed into a coffin, yet he raised the other man's face in a lovestruck gaze and kissed him passionately. "Qin Zhimian, I love you so much!"

Creepy Hospital instance.

Jiang Lai rushed forward and threw his arms around the mad doctor holding a butcher's knife. "Qin Zhimian, I'm willing to die by your hand!"

The bitter chill paused. The evil spirit raised an eyebrow as he watched Jiang Lai spout nonsense.

"The ancient jade you're wearing has a ghost inside it that wants to take your life."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai shielded the jade and kept backing away, black energy swirling around him.

The exorcist furrowed his brow, but met the smiling evil spirit's gaze. "He's mine."
