After Joining the Underworld

[New novel, After Setting Off a Trending-Topic Frenzy, is now underway] [Coming soon: The fantasy sweet romance Different Species, How Can We Fall in Love?! You can also find it in my author page. A deep bow] Blurb: On the seventh day after Wen Bai received his diploma, he won a prize: a job. It all started with a recruitment notice that had suddenly appeared on the trending topics not long before. Some sketchy, unknown shell company posted on Weibo that it was hiring a personal assistant for its boss. The post suddenly landed at the top of the trending list. Combined with its bold, red-highlighted requirements, “no restrictions on education, age, gender, or location”, it became an instant sensation. Onlooker One: You might not believe this, but I got my job by winning a lucky draw. Onlooker Two: What kind of sketchy company is making a spectacle of itself? Onlooker Three: Someone should send them to 1818 Golden Eye. As the mockery grew louder, the sketchy company revealed its location: First Manor. First Manor, where every inch of land was worth a fortune and the residents were either powerful or rich. It added that the salary started at one million and could be negotiated, and that the winner would be drawn automatically once the number of participants reached 810,000. Netizens: “...” I wanted to loudly condemn him, but he was offering far too much. By a strange twist of fate, Wen Bai became one of those 810,000 participants, and he won. Then... he started working for the Underworld. Wen Bai summed it up in seven words: The Underworld boss isn't human. -- The original Lu Zheng: Wen Bai, are you insulting me? Wen Bai: I am not. I didn't. Later, Lu Zheng: Wen Bai, do you like me? Wen Bai: Well, I really don't. Lu Zheng: ...You could. Later still, Lu Zheng: Why is Wen Bai so hard to pursue?! [Formerly “Stay Away from Me” → later “Why Is Wen Bai So Hard to Pursue?” → “I Take It Back” → Underworld big shot top x beauty bottom who wants to quit every day] ---The new novel After Setting Off a Trending-Topic Frenzy is now underway--- Here's the blurb: The day after Wen Nian unexpectedly became famous because of an “airport photo,” a director picked him up and slotted him in as a bit player on a talent show called The Second Summer. As soon as the official promotional photo was released, the hashtag #WhoIsWenNian# set off a frenzy on the trending topics. There was a reason. Based on nothing more than a list of its contestants, The Second Summer had already won the title of “Most Anticipated Variety Show of the Year.” It also had another well-known nickname: The Summer of the Second-Generation Kids. Some were children of celebrities, others were children of rich families. It was practically a makeover show for the second generation. Everyone: “Wen Nian? Who? This is ridiculous!” Then the show aired. #WenNianDrumming# and #WenNianAllStarSportsMeet# #WenNianThreeConsecutiveBullseyes# and more hashtags once again set off a frenzy on the trending topics. Even the production team hadn't expected the little bit player, brought in at the last minute just to satisfy the requirement that the show include “footage of ordinary people,” to become its most talked-about contestant. The audience fell in love with him. Ratings broke records, and every possible couple pairing took off. But the hottest pairing of all was “A Fine Year Like This Must Be Remembered,” featuring the little bit player Wen Nian and Shen Huaijing, the producer-mentor specially invited to keep the show in line. Later, one day on the eve of a red-carpet event, a sudden downpour threw the entrance of the hotel into chaos. Wen Nian's and Shen Huaijing's cars arrived one after the other. As soon as the cars stopped, Shen Huaijing's team rushed over with umbrellas. Everyone: Look at that. That's the speed and adaptability of a top-notch team. Just look... huh? Did Teacher Shen's manager make a beeline for Wen Nian first? Everyone: “...” Later, more photos came to light. Fans: We've shipped them for years, but this is the first time we've seen something so subtle and so obvious. The people around him protect the one he loves first. Who can still say “A Fine Year Like This” isn't real?! The second-generation kids, one and all: I'm tired of this love stuff.
