After Writing Seven Psychopaths to Their Deaths, I Took Them on a Group Livestream

Here’s the bottom line: Never make your characters suffer too much, or they’ll crawl out of the book and make you experience ten times the pain.

I, Shen Shiwei, am the unlucky one who learned that the hard way.

1.

Facing Gu Jin, the immortal lord who hates me most, I try to break his defenses with the last words of his beloved.

I recite my lines, trembling.

Instead, his eyes turn bloodshot. He pins me against the wall and says hoarsely, “Don’t say things like that in his name. Say it again, and I’ll shut you up with my mouth.”

The other six: (Quietly taking notes) Got it.

2.

Facing Lou Yu, the possessive, cleanliness-obsessed divine physician, I try to disgust him into keeping his distance.

I deliberately spill food all over myself.

Instead, he smiles and carries me into the bathroom. “If you’re dirty, you need to get clean. I’ll do it myself.”

Me: ??? (Help!)

3.

Later, I take them on a group livestream to make money, hoping to make fools of them and get my revenge.

I tell them to show off their talents.

Instead, they start flirting with me on camera, take the internet by storm, and become a top-tier star boy band!

Watching the tips pour in, I finally get it: Nothing beats making money, not love, hate, or complicated relationships!
