Please add it to your collection and save the author QAQ] [Blurb] The hopeless fox spirit Hu Hu is obsessed with an obscure boy band whose name is just as obscure as his. The three-member band has no resources, no traffic, and only three thousand fans across the internet. Half of them joined because a membership came with a free subscription. The struggling agency decides to go all in and send the trio to a survival show to relaunch their careers. Hu Hu, the band's number-one CP fan and fan club leader, decides to go all in too. Even though the survival show clashes with the start of school, he's going to show up and give his idols the support they deserve. It's Hu Hu's first time being a fan photographer. The other fangirls at the venue shove him into the audition entrance, and a staff member mistakes him for a trainee and grabs him... Day one of the survival show Hu Hu: I have to leave! I can't become a fox who drops out of school! Day two of the survival show Hu Hu: I really have to leave! I can't do anything! My fox tail is about to show! Day three of the survival show Hu Hu: My CP really is real! The guys are so handsome, hehehe... Watching his idols shine onstage, Hu Hu, who can't sing or dance, pats his little face and secretly breathes a sigh of relief. Thank goodness being good-looking comes as a standard feature for fox spirits. To get the freshest scoop from the front lines, Hu Hu has to put in the same effort he did when he cultivated himself into a spirit, getting up early and practicing late every day! He also has to keep his secret identity under wraps! After all Fans on the front lines can't contact their idols privately. CP fans can't ship them right in front of the actual people. _(:з∠)_ [A little skit] “Whenever I get near you, my heart pounds, I get flustered, and I don't know what to do...” “Could it be that you...” (/v\) “That's right. It's the food chain keeping you in check!” “...” All right, then. “I've spent years cultivating myself. It wasn't so I could stay trapped under the food chain!” “Then what do you want?” “To turn the tables!” “???!!!” P.S. Probably... a soft, hardworking beauty shou X a cold-faced, secretly timid, jealous-guy gong++ A sweet one-on-one romance. All characters, lyrics, magazines, and everything else in the story are entirely fictional. A silly comedy with no angst. Hu Hu really does work hard! Preorder: "Hello, Can I Be Buried in Your Grave?" In his previous life, Xie Chenyuan was a notorious villain in the occult world who betrayed his master, destroyed his sect, and slaughtered his way through the whole community. After finally dying, he opens his eyes to find himself reborn as a young delinquent who was supposed to drown. Given a second chance, he finds that the sect he once “betrayed,” “destroyed,” and tormented hasn't fallen into decline at all. Instead, it's become the most prominent orthodox sect in the occult world, with thriving temples and incense offerings. After dying and coming back to life, all Xie Chenyuan has inherited is the delinquent's illegally modified, unregistered motorcycle, a fortune-teller grandfather who's barely breathing, and a bowl cut so green it makes people uneasy. The contrast is so stark, it feels like fate is paying him back. Payback? Xie Chenyuan, who's been nailed to the pillar of shame for betraying his master and destroying his sect, and cursed three times a day by later generations of the occult world for hundreds of years, refuses to accept it. He's ready to become the very embodiment of retribution and make the peaceful occult world feel the shock of a traitorous disciple once more. Seeing his former sect prosper is worse than dying! But before he can put his plan for revenge into action, someone comes to find him. The visitor is as radiant as a jade tree, as handsome as a bamboo stalk, a beautiful paragon of purity. He's clearly nothing like Xie Chenyuan. Sure enough, the first thing he says is: “Our grave has collapsed.” What the hell? The occult world used his corpse for a ghost marriage?! The visitor isn't making it up. The inscription on the stele says: “Four hundred years ago, a dragon ran wild, unleashing floods and leaving the people on both banks displaced and destitute. Then a Taoist devised a plan to pacify it: he arranged for the dragon to marry a human woman, who would help him raise a family and tame his violent nature, thereby restraining the evil dragon. The floods soon subsided, and peace returned to the region.” Xie Chenyuan can't accept it. “I'm the human wife... husband?” The visitor nods. “I'm the evil dragon.” A villain paired with an evil dragon. What a cursed fate... This is just what he needed! Theme: You only win if you're willing to fight!
