My Idol Can Catch Ghosts

Yan Yan, the eighty-seventh head of the Mingxuan Sect, is ordered to descend the mountain and expand the sect's lineage, only to discover that without money, he can't get anywhere.

Yan Yan: "Need your fortune told? Twenty yuan per reading, and the whole family gets twenty percent off. What are you even talking about?"

Passerby: "You could make a living off your looks. Why resort to scamming people?"

Yan Yan: "I'm not some pretty boy!"

Talent scout: "Hey, kid, you've got great potential. Want to make your debut?"

Yan Yan: "May the boundless Heavenly Venerable bless us. If you believe in Daoism, why are you making a debut?"

Talent scout: "Our company offers great benefits. With a face like yours, you could attract thousands of girls just by standing there!"

Yan Yan: "Our sect doesn't discriminate by gender. But this debut you're talking about... can it really bring in followers?"

Talent scout: "Absolutely! Just sign with me and I'll guarantee you make the A-list within three years, with over ten million Weibo followers. After that..."

Yan Yan: "Ten million! Wait, our sect can't fit that many people!"

Talent scout: "Come on! By then you'll be worth hundreds of millions. Expanding your sect will be easy. What can't money buy?"

Yan Yan, having just suffered the hardships of being broke: "That makes sense."

And so, our little Daoist made his debut in the center position, winning over thousands with his talent... of followers.

Reading Notes:

1. As usual, this is my take on the entertainment industry and doesn't allude to anyone. Characters from my other books will join in, too.

2. The love interest is a prodigy of a large, legitimate Daoist sect. He appears relatively late.

3. Most of the professional details are made up by me. Don't nitpick or argue about accuracy. Laughter, over-the-top praise, and believing in metaphysics are encouraged.
