I Crashed and Burned in a Horror Battle Royale

This world is divided into two poles, Yin and Yang. Their balance shifts slightly every second, and someone must constantly keep them in equilibrium. Li Zhaokong is that person.

Strange and bizarre events happen every day.

For example:

The world's richest man is frail and sickly, coughing whenever he catches his breath. In reality, he's a nine-tailed fox spirit who can heal all living things!

The biggest gossip magnet among celebrities spends his days sunbathing and his nights dancing at clubs. In reality, he's a vampire who's lived for a thousand years, grown tired of life, and is doing everything he can to kill himself!

An expert on crops and a virtuous university professor who's a whiz at cooking and laundry is actually the King of Ghosts of Luofeng, trying to escape his heavy workload and retire to a quiet life in the countryside!

Ever since meeting these three, Li Zhaokong's survival instincts have grown stronger by the day. He has to watch out for the nine-tailed fox poisoning him, dodge the vampire trying to drag him into a death wish, and avoid offending the King of Ghosts of Luofeng, who has the power over life and death and might put a little check mark next to his name!

Having to carefully navigate between these three big shots all the time, Li Zhaokong says he just wants to focus on his career, not spend every day in a battlefield of jealousy!

A survival guide:

1. A passerby said the richest man wouldn't live long, then spent three days and nights with diarrhea and ended up at the proctologist, where he received the happy news that he'd earned himself a hemorrhoid!

Li Zhaokong looks at the nine-tailed fox's cold face (survival instinct +1): Your health is excellent. You'll surely live to a ripe old age!

2. A suitor mocked the celebrity, calling him a poor soul who'd die alone. So the vampire decided he wanted a ghost-marriage partner after death, and set his sights on a certain someone.

Li Zhaokong trembles, speaking with deep meaning (survival instinct +1): As long as you're alive, anything is possible!

3. A judge brought a document for the King of Ghosts to sign while he was weeding in the fields. After signing it, the King of Ghosts casually wrote up a demotion notice. The next day, the judge was demoted to the Eighteenth Level of Hell to stoke the furnaces.

Seeing this, Li Zhaokong hefts a hoe (survival instinct +1): Boss, if you're going to pull weeds, you have to get them out by the roots, right?!
