My Idol's Rival and I Got Together

[Main story complete]

Back when Shi Rong was still a nobody, he became a fan of an idol named Mo Nan.

He was Mo Nan’s solo fan, dad fan, and career fan.

And Mo Nan’s biggest rival was that guy named Fu Yi.

After Fu Yi stole Mo Nan’s endorsement, awards, and trending spots,

Shi Rong became a Fu Yi anti-fan.

As an anti-fan, he knew Fu Yi’s scandals inside and out, and made several videos about them. He was called Fu Yi’s most dedicated anti-fan.

Then, after an accident turned Shi Rong into an actor, he was invited to appear on a show with Fu Yi. The two were split into opposing teams to answer questions.

During the quiz, Shi Rong correctly named Fu Yi’s very first work.

During the music round, he recognized one of Fu Yi’s obscure songs.

During the picture round, he correctly identified the TV drama Fu Yi had acted in.

Fu Yi’s fans cried out in shock: Shi Rong really loves Fu Yi! He’s Fu Yi’s true fan!

Fu Yi thought so too: Shi Rong was his true fan.

Until he accidentally saw Shi Rong’s video channel username. The shameless creator who edited Fu Yi’s clips into ridiculous, brain-melting videos was actually Shi Rong?

Shi Rong: To be honest, I’m a true fan of your rival. As for you, I’m an anti-fan...

Shi Rong entered showbiz to find inspiration for his novel.

Before joining the entertainment industry, his only idol was Mo Nan.

He was certain he was a devoted solo fan, and no other celebrity crush could make him change his mind.

After he entered showbiz, his idol’s rival kept trying to make him switch sides...

“It's hot. Have some watermelon.”

“Want to take a nap in my RV?”

“Want me to help you find inspiration?”

Shi Rong: Damn it! This heart of mine is itching to jump ship...

Fu Yi: If you swing the hoe well, no corner is beyond digging up.

Shi Rong was terrible at writing romance.

Every time he tried, readers said it was painfully awkward.

Fu Yi volunteered: “I’ll teach you.”

Shi Rong: ?

Fu Yi planned to teach him through practical experience.

Afterward, Shi Rong realized his romantic scenes hadn’t improved much at all.

But the pace had gotten a lot faster.

With readers turning beet red as they begged for updates, Shi Rong successfully wrote his book into the restricted section.

Shi Rong: “...”

Fu Yi: “I told you to write romance. Who told you to write the after-romance?”

Shi Rong: And this is my fault?

Coming soon: A Life Lived with the Demon King

Ou Xiaojiang bought an old villa. It was in a good location, had a practical layout, and best of all, it was cheap.

There was just one little problem: it was haunted.

Ou Xiaojiang: No big deal.

He was almost out of a job because he couldn’t catch any ghosts. Why would he be afraid of a haunted house?

On his first day there, Ou Xiaojiang combed the hair of the ghost haunting the villa, then sent her on to the afterlife.

Then he happily started tearing the place apart!!! He was going to become a home renovation lifestyle blogger!

But he never expected that, besides the long-haired ghost, there would also be a demon king in the villa.

Just as he’d nearly finished tearing the house apart, the demon king swished his big tail and stuck it in front of Ou Xiaojiang. “You wrecked my house. You’ll stay and brush my fur from now on.”

Xuan Ye had once been a demon king.

After sleeping for a thousand years, he woke to find a villa built over his lair.

Too lazy to deal with it himself, Xuan Ye caught a ghost and put her in the villa.

Whenever someone came to buy the place, he’d make the ghost appear and scare them off.

But he never expected someone who wasn’t afraid of ghosts to show up one day.

The man combed his ghost’s hair, then sent her off to be reborn.

And that wasn’t all. He tore up Xuan Ye’s bed, threw out his treasures, and turned his cozy den into an open-air space.

No way. He had to make this human take responsibility!

[Bonus scene]

What you think life with a demon king is like:

Xuan Ye: “Make me something to eat.”

Xuan Ye: “Heat some water for me.”

Xuan Ye: “And...”

What life with a demon king is really like:

Ou Xiaojiang: “Dig up the potatoes. We’re having potatoes today.”

Ou Xiaojiang: “If you want to eat, you’d better help me heat the water.”

Ou Xiaojiang: You have no idea how great it is when a demon king becomes part of the workforce.
