After the Haunted House Became Everyone's Most Hated

[Coming soon: “The God of Disguise”] [Be sure to check the content warnings.] Lu Yu, who grew up in the slums, is suddenly told that he is actually the youngest son of the wealthy Lu family of Yanjing. An orphan since childhood who has always longed for a home, he returns to the Lu family full of hope. His parents frown at him, and his older brothers tell him time and again: “Don’t compete with Lili.” Lu Li, the fake young master who has taken his place in the Lu family for twenty years, locks him in a haunted house filled with bizarre rumors. On the brink of death after two days inside, Lu Yu offers his soul and body to the house. From then on, the haunted house, renowned for its long history and terrifying, uncanny atmosphere, takes on a physical form. … At twenty-four, Fu Yunchao, the second young master of the Fu family, accidentally enters an infinite-flow world. Three years later, he claws his way up from hell, carrying a body full of murderous energy. During the three years he lay on his bed like a corpse, both his parents died in a car accident, his eldest brother disappeared after falling off a cliff, and his uncles seized power with ease. Looking at the pale man who has woken up but can barely move, his uncles wave a hand. “The Fu Group has suffered heavy losses this year. The Lu and Fu families are joining forces through marriage. You can marry Lu Yu, the young master of the Lu family.” A few days later, at the Lu family estate, Fu Yunchao sits in his wheelchair while Lu Yu bends over to look at him. Their eyes meet, abyss-deep, as smiles linger on their lips. Why do they seem to sense something familiar in each other? * Everyone thinks Fu Yunchao is a cripple who can’t make waves, and that timid, mild-mannered Lu Yu will never fit in with high society. Then the Fu family uncles are both sent to prison, the proud young master of the Lu family is exposed and breaks down in tears, and the once-powerful Lu family is trampled underfoot. Only then does everyone realize Who the hell thought it was a good idea to pair up two ferocious beasts?

Mists cover the five continents, and all living things suffer. Fallen heretics worship demons, monsters from the abyss scream in unison, humans sacrifice their lives to seize a chance at survival, and believers sing hymns of light in the hope that the true god will descend. Qiao Luan moves among them and unexpectedly awakens a disguise System, thriving in this apocalyptic hellscape.

If the Host successfully deceives ten heretics, they may spin the C-rank Lucky Wheel once. … If the Host successfully deceives one god, they may spin the S-rank Lucky Wheel once. Looking over the prizes on all kinds of Lucky Wheels, Qiao Luan slowly flashes eight white teeth in a grin Now this is a perfect fit. He’s a famous charlatan, after all. * One peaceful day, someone knocks on the wooden cabin on the Mountain of Divine Signs. A man in a plain black robe and mask speaks gently. “Hello. I heard the Outer God Lancelot lives here. I’ve come to find Him.” Qiao Luan tilts his head. “Who are you, and why are you looking for Him?” The man takes off his mask, revealing a familiar face. “My name is Lancelot. I’ve traveled across the five continents and heard that someone is impersonating a god.” Qiao Luan: “…” Oh boy. The real deal has come knocking. His expression stays unchanged, though his smile gradually deepens. Unfazed by the real Lancelot, he asks, “Do you know what’s buried at the foot of the Mountain of Divine Signs?” A Godslayer blade takes shape inch by inch between Qiao Luan’s slender fingers. He smiles. “The corpses of Outer Gods like you, who came knocking.” * The long, ancient, and filthy ages gave birth to gods. The stars brought curses, and corruption spread across the whole continent. Qiao Luan stands atop the sacred mountain, with corpses scattered at his feet. He thinks idly If this world truly needs a god, then he will be the only one. Theme: Love life.
