A Straight Man Becomes Everyone's Crush, and the Entertainment Industry Is Full of Charisma

[Male-Male Romance] [System] [Handsome, Straight, Young Exorcist Bottom] [Metaphysics] [Entertainment Industry] [Over-the-Top Forced Romance] [All]

Xie Huaizhou is the second son of the Duke of Xie. Born with silver hair, he was blamed for his mother's death and branded ill-omened. Then, for no apparent reason, he went mad and became a Taoist priest.

Being crazy is kind of comforting. The whole capital thinks he's a madman and a walking disaster.

He refuses to accept that. Then, while catching ghosts, he gets hit and killed by a carriage. With a flicker, he transmigrates. Zhou: "Hahaha, I jinxed myself to death."

He lands trapped in a dressing room. In the one across the hall, two movie emperors are pouring their hearts out, staring in stunned disbelief.

He runs into the director. Zhou: "Your forehead is dark and your lips are purple. A bloody disaster is coming. A life-saving talisman costs ten taels!"

The director slams the table in fury. "That's the purple-rice porridge I just drank! Get out!"

Xie Huaizhou promptly gets out, only to be stopped by a late-arriving Romance System. Its list of targets is dazzling: young masters, domineering CEOs, movie emperors... even ghosts. Raising their affection levels can trigger random special effects? Skin hunger? Shared senses? Mind reading? Swapping souls?

Xie Huaizhou freezes solid. In a fit of rage, he throws the System into the trash.

That night, while catching a ghost, he accidentally wanders into a private room at a bar and gets carried off like a package. When Xie Huaizhou realizes what's happened, he cracks on the spot.

The next day, the director gets his head split open. On the way to the hospital, he nearly dies in a car crash.

Meanwhile, Xie Huaizhou is running a street stall when he's suddenly bound to the [Universal Heartthrob Aura].

Xie Huaizhou grins. "This aura is just what I needed. My business has been slow lately."

System: "It only works on men."

Xie Huaizhou's face changes. "I... am... a man!"

After getting a taste of the benefits, Xie Huaizhou starts sticking close and cuddling up to people. "I can be flexible."

But when he's surrounded, Xie Huaizhou says, "...Stop, stop!"

The System murmurs, "Every target on the list is a complete psycho."

Xie Huaizhou: "Well, well, well."
