(Two male leads, both devoted only to each other; the bottom attracts ghosts, while the top is an otherworldly, immortal-like unknown being; entertainment industry in the early chapters; secret identity as a ghost hunter; later, a world of immortal cultivation)
He debuted at the top, then fell out of fashion within six months. Born under a curse, Su Beisheng brings down every company he signs with. People avoid him like the plague, and he can barely make ends meet.
After a friend pulled him aside to persuade him, he sought a Buddhist prayer bead containing a sacred relic, which kept him safe for a year.
A year later, the bead shattered and went missing. All kinds of strange things began happening, and Su Beisheng unexpectedly set out on the path of scientific cultivation.
He became an overnight sensation in the entertainment industry.
In his spare time, he also flirted with men and hunted ghosts.
But
The unknown beings weren’t the only ones coveting Su Beisheng, their tempting prize.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it; the oriole does not know that a hawk is watching; the hawk does not realize that a great roc is looking down from above.
Each believes they are the one moving the pieces, never realizing they are all trapped in the game.
P.S. A warning: this is a slow burn. Even I feel the pacing is a bit slow, sob... But if I cut anything, it feels disjointed and incomplete. I absolutely haven’t padded it out, though. If you’re looking for a fast pace and nonstop thrills, please give me a pass. Clicking in, reading one chapter, and then leaving will seriously hurt my stats for the trial period. Please, please understand.
It looks okay, let's put it on the bookshelf first!
