[Merit-Cultivating Taoist, ascetic and cool-headed entertainment company CEO, powerful mystic VS Demon Lord, cunning and arrogant idol from a nobody boy band]
Also known as "The Top Donor in My Livestream Is Actually My Arch-Enemy"
Ye Hexuan, the Demon Lord who ruled the demon realm and was revered by all, was ambushed at Qingshan. He hastily bound himself to a System and narrowly escaped disaster.
When he woke up, Ye Hexuan had become the little "maknae" of an unknown company's failing boy band, a nobody in the entertainment industry. He was forced to take part in a gimmicky outdoor exploration show called "Horror Livestream."
Ye Hexuan ignored the System's rules and kept getting into trouble.
[System: Please follow the rules of our system game.]
[Ye Hexuan: Who are you to speak to this king like that?]
[System: I am your System administrator.]
[Ye Hexuan: Are you trying to tell me what to do?]
The items players used in the game were provided through donations from viewers watching the livestream. They only counted as income after being used. Otherwise, they were void.
[System notification: Merit-Cultivating Taoist has entered the livestream.]
[Merit-Cultivating Taoist gifted a mermaid fire candle.]
[Merit-Cultivating Taoist gifted a Five Emperors copper coin.]
A viewer named "Merit-Cultivating Taoist" became the top donor in Ye Hexuan's livestream thanks to his frequent gifts, and even taught him how to win, step by step.
Ye Hexuan had thought it was just a game, until the System assigned him a secret mission.
It turned out that besides popularity and bounties, each of the nine players had their own secret mission.
Was the scariest thing about the game ghosts and evil spirits? No, it was people.
An in-person meetup turns into a massive identity-reveal scene:
Jin Xuan: Why aren't you like I imagined?
Ye Hexuan: Then why don't you leave?
Jin Xuan: I came all this way.
