Chronicles of the Moon-Scaled Maiden: She’s in a God’s Script

[Moonlit Scales Chronicle fanfiction + showbiz + livestreaming + gods + beautiful but tragic leads + happy ending for everyone]

The Dragon God Jiling, carrying the newly born nine-tailed fox Lu Wuyi, used his life to carve a path through the world formed by the Starstone, escaping into a space-time tunnel.

When they woke, they had landed in the H Town Film and Television City.

Lu Wuyi had lost all her memories, as pure as a newborn baby. The spirits of four great demons dwelt in the Spirit-Driving Ring: Baize, Xiaowei, Wuzhiqi, and Hanba. Each was a fearsome demon of ancient renown.

But spiritual energy was scarce in the modern world, so the four demons could take physical form for only two hours a day. Worse still, Jiuying had crossed over with them, hiding in the shadows and feeding on human negative emotions.

Baize said, “We need to make a show to help Lu Wuyi regain her memories.”

Jiling said, “Then let's make one.”

Baize added, “And make some money while we're at it.”

And so Jiling became a billionaire, thanks to Baize's power of foresight, and the four great demons played themselves as filming began on Moonlit Scales Chronicle.

On screen, they were playing demons.

Off screen, they were demons.

The audience thought the effects were CGI, but they were real magic.

The audience thought it was acting, but they were a real couple.

The fans were passionately shipping them, never realizing that every insult they hurled at the characters was feeding Jiuying in the shadows.

While the whole internet argued over whether Jiling's gaze at Lu Wuyi was genuine, the real crisis was drawing near.

On the day of the finale livestream, Jiuying appeared.

Millions of viewers watched as the feed cut out and a crack split the sky.

“Your anger, fear, jealousy... they're all my power.”

This wasn't part of the script.

It was real.
