Exorcisms, fortune-telling, and matchmaking readings. No results, no charge. Come discover Chinese metaphysics~
A goofy, feel-good story about an obscure idol who takes over the South Korean entertainment industry with her metaphysical skills, with a touch of the supernatural.
Blurb:
Lin Zheng has just turned eighteen when her master sends her down the mountain because her worldly ties remain unresolved. All she has is a plane ticket to Korea and her skills at exorcism and fortune-telling.
After landing, she finds Shen Weixing, an old-school trainee who has been dead for eight years and can't move on, at her hotel. To unravel a series of mysteries and send him home, the living girl and the ghost sneak into the company Shen Weixing once belonged to. Through a series of mishaps, she becomes a trainee, and from then on her days are filled with grueling singing and dancing practice and acting classes.
She is clearly working in the entertainment industry, but things keep getting stranger. Search anyone else's name and the related terms are things like "stunning beauty," "superb acting," "excellent singing and dancing," and "peerless lead vocalist."
Search Lin Zheng's, and the related terms become "metaphysics master," "matchmaking readings," and "Are Lin Zheng's fortune-telling predictions really accurate?"
[Why did the actress become a vengeful ghost?] [Trainee injured in an accident] [A living soul leaves its body: who is she?] [The ultimate mystery: what did Shen Weixing's death uncover?]
A day in Lin Zheng's life:
Company CEO: "Lin Zheng~ Could you take a look at our newly debuted boy band's fortunes for us?~"
Senior idol: "Lin Zheng, I think I've been having sleep paralysis lately. Could you take a look for me?~"
Famous MC: "Lin Zheng, we're choosing a site for our new home. Could you come check its feng shui?~"
Fan: "Little Kite! Look at my face, when will I finally have some romantic luck?"
Lin Zheng: "Don't worry, one step at a time..."
Reader's guide:
1. This is a parallel universe. Don't get hung up on what butterfly effects may have changed; the timeline won't match perfectly.
2. The names are puns. Those who get it, get it. Not recognizing them won't affect your enjoyment.
3. Read for fun. If it's not your thing, please close the page.
4. Some parts involving metaphysics have been reasonably altered by the author. Don't take them too seriously.
4. Peace and love. Don't fight, please!
Coming soon: [Entertainment Industry] Cute Creatures Refuse to Be Sold
Blurb:
A mysterious comfort shop for cute creatures has opened in Seoul. It caters to entertainers and staff in the entertainment industry who are under a lot of pressure. The shop is small, but it has plenty of rules.
Shopkeeper: Zheng Jingyi (former screenwriter)
Staff: All kinds of cute creatures who earn their keep by acting adorable, cuddling, and rolling around. They include, but aren't limited to, cats, dogs, chinchillas, hamsters, and little white rabbits...
Shop rules:
1. You must work in an industry related to entertainment.
2. You need a referral from an existing customer.
3. The cute creatures are busy, and their schedules are tight. Book in advance.
4. Any harm to the cute creatures is forbidden. Anyone caught doing so will have the surveillance footage made public.
5. None of the cute creatures in the shop are for sale.
A little scene:
A pure-white Samoyed lounges on a bay window, watching two female idols nearby cuddle a pair of munchkin cats and a lop-eared rabbit as they watch a TV show. The two cute creatures are exceptionally well-behaved, eyes fixed on the screen with the same focus as humans.
The Samoyed paws at the giant flying squirrel nestled against its belly. "Hey, little mouse! Those two beauties make us watch TV with them every time they come. Can't they watch at home?"
The flying squirrel kicks the dog's belly with its little feet, but it barely hurts. "Idiot! Say that again! I'm not a mouse!"
Their commotion disturbs the cat and the lop-eared rabbit, who are watching TV intently. Both are used to it.
The munchkin cat shifts position and lazily flops down. "No wonder their monthly sales are always at the bottom..."
The lop-eared rabbit lifts its own ears and strokes them twice. "I can't figure out how those two childish idiots passed Jingyi's interview..."
Waiting in the wings: [Entertainment Industry] Obscure Stars Meet, Chaos Ensues: An off-the-books cop working in the entertainment industry
Blurb:
Shi Yu had never met anyone in the entertainment industry more obscure than himself, until he met Song Ji in a dance studio...
An actor and an idol, each obscure in their own way, are forced together by a System that hates evil. From then on, they soar ever further along the path of being little justice warriors in the entertainment industry and finally make it big.
The pair team up to tackle missions, including but not limited to: "Dismantling an illegal loan-sharking ring targeting drama school students," "Exposing unscrupulous entertainers who manipulate minors," "Debunking an entertainer's fake academic credentials and research," and "Bravely fighting criminals on a bus and saving all the innocent passengers"...
After being publicly praised by the relevant authorities time and again for their good deeds, big and small, the two finally have their buried talents noticed. People exclaim: [With their all-around singing, dancing, and rapping skills! With their acting! With their character! How could the Ji Yu CP not be popular? It's only natural! Thanks to the police officers!]
Later, a saying spreads through the entertainment industry: [Point at someone and they'll fall. The Ji Yu CP is a walking scandal detector. You need one!]
(Fundamentally goofy, no real-life inspirations. Please don't read anything into it.)
Song Ji has spent years playing supporting roles below third male lead on screen. Every part is memorable, but he never gets famous. Eventually, he accepts his mentor's invitation to return to his alma mater as a counselor and become a happy little slacker.
Shi Yu debuted as the first-place winner of a talent show three years ago. He could sing and dance beautifully, but the program was investigated for vote-rigging, and the group disbanded as soon as it debuted.
