[Blurb]

Xie Yao is a gaming streamer who has risen rapidly to fame on Shark TV. He's highly skilled and has a sharp tongue, and he's always ready with a killer line:

"Real men don't play support."

"If a child isn't taught well, it's the parents' fault. If you guys suck, that's on me."

"Got a dog, kid? Go ask the one at your door how to play this game."

During a disastrous livestream, Xie Yao trades insults with a crowd of haters, mouthing off until he's hoarse and racking up kills like crazy. Then a rich tycoon suddenly drops into his chat.

The tycoon sends five spaceships, each with a flashy, brazen message: "Want to add me on WeChat?"

Xie Yao: "A proper streamer would never add someone on WeChat..."

The boss immediately sends five more spaceships!

Xie Yao: "Of course, boss! Thank you, boss! I've just sent you my WeChat ID. Come back soon!"

After adding him on WeChat, Xie Yao discovers that the boss is Jiang Song, captain of the wealthy SUS team, the man everyone calls a living god!

So he streams and duo-queues with the big shot...

Jiang Song: "Pick Yao. I'll carry you."

Xie Yao, who never plays support, is forced to eat his words: "Sure thing, bro."

A few months later, Jiang Song attends a tournament as a special guest, while Xie Yao, a rising streamer from a partner platform, is invited too.

Xie Yao dazzles everyone in the exhibition match.

In an interview afterward, a reporter asks Jiang Song, "What's your first impression of the new streamer who took part in the exhibition match?"

Jiang Song answers with complete seriousness: "Very soft."

Picking Up a Cat Who Has Multiple Personalities and Gets Me Into a Love Triangle Every Day

Qiao Yixing has had nothing but bad luck for twenty years. He trips on flat ground, loses his keys, gets cheated when signing contracts, and after three years in show business, nobody even knows his name...

Disaster follows disaster, and he's had every kind of bad luck imaginable. Then, after he picks up a cat, his fortunes mysteriously begin to change!

With no money for food, he strokes the cat's head. Suddenly, a lottery ticket falls from the sky. He scratches it and wins the grand prize!

His company exploits him, so he squeezes the cat's paw. The next day, the company goes bankrupt and the boss runs off, while a top agent in the industry signs him immediately!

He's framed, and thousands of people on Weibo mock him for being poor and low-class. He kisses the cat's face, and the next second, the nation's beloved father posts on Weibo:

Allow me to introduce @Qiao Yixing, the most cherished child of the Xie family.

The trending topic explodes, and Qiao Yixing's eyes light up too!

As the Heavenly Dao revives and spiritual energy returns, the ancient divine beast Pixiu awakens after years of slumber, only to discover that he's turned into a cat?

Pixiu: Meowww!

Even more absurdly, he shares one body with Bai Ze and Qilin!

Their cub's body is so frail that the once-mighty divine beasts are furious, and with a "meow," they pass out!

Unexpectedly, when he opens his eyes again, someone has taken him home.

The young man is not only good-looking, but his abundant spiritual energy also makes all three big shots covetous!

But with only one body to go around, the three fight for time onstage, hurling taunts at each other.

Qilin: I can protect the home and ward off disaster.

Bai Ze: I can turn misfortune into good fortune.

Pixiu chuckles, plucks out a hair, and turns it into gold as soon as it hits the ground. "I've got money!"

One day, Qiao Yixing happens to see his multiple-personality cat biting and kicking itself, sometimes even pulling out a couple of hairs. He's utterly shocked...

Hey, stop biting yourself! You're going bald in patches!

Ever since picking up the cat, Qiao Yixing's luck has turned around. His only worry is his cat, which seems to have multiple personalities?

Yesterday it slept lazily and wouldn't wake up. Today it's a clingy little sweetheart. Tomorrow it'll suddenly be so cold and haughty it's unbelievable!

Qiao Yixing sighs, hugs the cat, and buries his face in its fur for a cuddle. But the cat bristles and swats at him, then turns into a human the next second!

A domineering man with cat ears twitching atop his head grabs Qiao Yixing by the wrist and sneers, imperious and aloof:

"You insolent servant! How dare you touch the noble Pixiu with paws that have touched Bai Ze!"

Qiao Yixing: Help! My cat turned into a person!

The Max-Level Celestial Master Goes Viral After Becoming a Drama Queen

After being sealed for nine hundred years, Xue Jinshi, once a prodigy of the occult arts, transmigrates into the body of a washed-up, drama-loving celebrity.

To earn the merit he needs to reunite his soul, Xue Jinshi has to return to his old profession, catching evil spirits and doing good deeds.

On a variety show, the other guests fight for screen time and the center spot, while Xue Jinshi lounges in a chair, unbothered and enjoying the peace.

In reality, he's keeping a close eye on the little ghost causing trouble behind him. "Tsk, how many merit points would exorcising it get me?"

When vicious ghosts appear, the guests scream and faint on the spot. Only Xue Jinshi charges to the front without the slightest fear, his eyes shining with alarming intensity.

"Is this a vicious ghost? No, it's a mountain of merit points!"

Before Xue Jinshi joined the show, his haters were rubbing their hands together, just waiting for him to cause trouble again so they could send him packing to the countryside.

Who knew that instead of making everyone hate him, he'd become best friends with the director and all the big-name stars?!

Plates mysteriously shatter, footsteps echo out of nowhere in the hallway, and black handprints suddenly appear...

While the guests shiver and scream in terror, the usually laid-back Xue Jinshi is already leading the charge.

He casually snaps off a peachwood branch, then breaks every spell with a single stroke of his sword. The vicious ghost vanishes in an instant!

Viewers: Holy crap, a master?! Please accept my bow!

Xue Jinshi casually tosses away the peachwood branch. "What master? You've got to believe in science!"

The film emperor Yan Laichao has had a strange condition since childhood:

He can read people's hearts and hear ghosts speak.

No one knows when the endless voices in his ears might drive him mad.

Until he meets a young celebrity on a variety show, and the ghostly voices that have haunted him for years suddenly fall silent.

The absurd fortune-telling prediction he heard years ago suddenly resurfaces in his mind: He would meet a man whose fate was tightly bound to his, and then his incurable illness would be cured.

One day, when the Messengers of Death pass through, Xue Jinshi brazenly spirits a vicious ghost away from under one of their noses.

Messenger of Death: "You've got some nerve."

Xue Jinshi grins and clings to Yan Laichao, completely unafraid. "I've got someone backing me."

Yan Laichao gives him a strange look. "Someone... backing you?"
