After Being Driven Out of the Street Market, I Became Part of a Wealthy Family

A talent show no one believed in appears out of nowhere and launches two top-tier stars: one contestant and one mentor. The contestant is aloof and beautiful, a master of both singing and dancing, dazzling the entire entertainment industry with looks and talent. The mentor is elegant and charming, utterly useless at singing and dancing, incapable of doing anything well, but a first-rate flirt. The audience is furious: "My idol won't even pay him any attention, but this mentor keeps flirting with him! Kick him off the show!" Mentor Mu Yi, flamed on the trending list, remains unruffled. Sitting elegantly at the judges' table, he turns his captivating smile toward the other contestants. "Come on, draw a tarot card. Let me see your future." Then their aloof, universally adored national idol, whom everyone wants to please, glares fiercely at the other contestants. "He said he'd only read mine. Don't you dare." The audience gets it: These two might as well get married. The fortune-tellers on the overpass are gathered together, trying to figure out how to become influencers. Then they see the trending headline. --Isn't that mentor the colleague who used to set up a street stall with us, until we drove him away? The wealthy families are trying to work out how to curry favor with the most powerful figure in their circle. Then they see the trending headline. --How did that big shot become a contestant? And what happened to his cold, ruthless image? Who's this person fawning over the mentor with such blatant double standards? Reader's Guide: 1.

After entering a horror game, his classmates snatch up the luxurious apartments, villas, and hotels, leaving him the rundown shack level: desolate, drafty, empty, and full of harsh conditions. Mu Xiaoning thinks he'll starve to death, but finds sweet potatoes in a patch of weeds and then picks up a sickle. The sickle is sharp and easy to handle. He uses it to cut chives, dig up sweet potatoes, and chop wood, soon making himself a meal. But he's still worried. How is someone who's afraid of ghosts supposed to make it through the first night? The Grim Reaper is so powerful that Heaven had no choice but to place a seal on his scythe. Only his nemesis, his destined partner, can wield it. The Grim Reaper couldn't care less. Whoever dares call himself his nemesis, he'll find him and kill him. The Grim Reaper's scythe has gone missing. It carries immense divine power, and can bring death and destruction to every living thing within three hundred miles. The Grim Reaper doesn't want to hear Heaven nagging him, so he decides to go look for it. Then he sees Mu Xiaoning using his scythe to chop wood, dig sweet potatoes, and cut chives. He falls silent for a long while. Mu Xiaoning thinks another player has come to take some of his food. Even though he doesn't want to share, he still serves the visitor a bowl. "I don't have much food, so don't eat too much, okay?" The Grim Reaper takes the bowl, stares at Mu Xiaoning's face, rubs his chin, and picks up the scythe. "Are you tired? I'll chop the wood." When Mu Xiaoning sees a ghost charge at him, he thinks he's about to die. Terrified, he shrieks and throws himself into the arms of the person beside him. But the ghosts scream even louder than he does. After trying to out-scream them for a while, he gives up. Mu Xiaoning: ??? Weren't the ghosts supposed to kill them? Ghost NPCs: Holy crap, how are we supposed to kill anyone with the boss right there with him? We'd be lucky if we don't get killed ourselves. Theme: Be a good person, do good things, and believe in science
