If I Don't Work Hard, I'll Have to Marry the King of the Underworld

The main story is complete and ready to binge.

Please check out my upcoming stories: Nightmare Reels [Infinite], Immersive Scream Experience [Infinite], and Your Highness.

A freak accident took Song Ningyi's life.

Before he could be thrown into the underworld's boiling oil, he faced a crowd of underworld ghosts who had never seen food before, along with a ruthless little King Yama. He pulled out humanity's ultimate weapon: Master Kong instant noodles.

Song Ningyi turned his life around and made a fortune through food livestreams, becoming so popular that he nearly overtook the number-one streamer, Chu Qiao.

With his status threatened and his livestream PK ending in defeat, Chu Qiao was furious. He staked his pride on challenging Song Ningyi to a livestream showdown.

On the eve of the big livestream battle, Song Ningyi found a little silver kitten outside his door.

The kitten was haughty and aloof. It wouldn't eat or drink, only sitting in a corner and secretly watching him with wide eyes.

He offered it food, and it knocked the bowl away. He tried to pet it, and it scratched his hand with its little paws.

The utterly shameless cat servant, Song Ningyi, tried to win the kitten's affection every day by tempting it with his thighs and fragrant shoulders.

But the kitten looked at him as if he were an idiot.

One day, Song Ningyi skipped the whole routine and went straight to bed.

He pulled up the covers and was just about to close his eyes when suddenly something heavy landed on him.

The kitten on top of him began to shine with golden light. When the glow faded, a silver-haired man appeared, his face expressionless.

"Where are today's thighs? Where are today's fragrant shoulders?"

Song Ningyi: Who are you?

On the day of the showdown, Song Ningyi opened his livestream room, only to learn that Chu Qiao had been missing for days.

The ghosts: What a jerk, messing with our Yiyi. Even if he's number one, we won't stand for it.

On camera, a huge silver cat strutted past with its tail held high. It rubbed its round face hard against Song Ningyi's chest twice, then rolled in his arms. Its paw slipped, and it tumbled down with its legs splayed.

The ghosts: That silly cat grabbing Yiyi's trouser leg and trying to climb up him has to be our Lord of the Underworld, right???

---------- Upcoming Story 1: Nightmare Reels [Infinite]

After Ren Qianlin died, several cards of wildly different styles appeared before him. A voice in his mind told him to choose one of the god cards.

Ren Qianlin: "Oh, I'll take the best-looking one."

When he woke again, he found that everything around him had changed. Humans had become the lowest class in society, subject to enslavement and slaughter at will.

On top of that, his teammates were constantly scheming to make him sacrifice himself for the group, while the Lord God was personally trying to kill him. But the Lord God was pretty handsome...

Later on:

His teammates turned to the new players and sneered, "There's no room left at my Qianbao's side. You'll have to catch the next ride."

The monster NPCs wept. "What happened to the cute little toys you promised us to help us unwind? So we're the toys now, huh?"

*

After all sorts of monsters pursued him endlessly, Ren Qianlin grew tired of it.

So while his teammates were being chased by NPCs and screaming their heads off, Ren Qianlin lay on the bed with his limbs spread, looking thoroughly satisfied.

The Lord God pulled up his pants and said he'd be back tomorrow.

But Ren Qianlin couldn't muster the slightest interest. He lowered his eyelids and drawled, "Have the God of Love come tomorrow instead. The little curly-haired one."

The Lord God: "...The God of Love resigned yesterday. I'll be taking over from now on."

Ren Qianlin: "Time to put the god-slaying plan into action."

---------- Upcoming Story 2: Immersive Scream Experience [Infinite]

Blurb:

Jiang Ci was born bad at talking to people and had always been ostracized.

When he was accidentally caught up in a murder case, there was nowhere to appeal and no one believed him.

To look for clues, he went to an experience center called "Immersive Scream."

There, he saw the victim whose death had saddled him with a false accusation.

Forced into the game, Jiang Ci discovered that he really might have killed someone...?

And every time he woke up, there was a body beside him, dead in a bizarre way.

When Jiang Ci entered the game again:

Monster A: "He's here! You guys go this time!"

Monster B: "Why us? If you want to die, go die by yourself. Don't drag me into it!"

Jiang Ci was baffled. "Why do even ghosts ostracize me?"

Theme: Even when things are at their worst, persevere and you will eventually see results.
