I Went Viral Across the Internet on a Paranormal Investigation Variety Show

[Complete] After graduating, He Ye inherited his family's nearly bankrupt paper effigy shop. By day, business was slow, with barely any living customers. By night, the shop was packed, with all kinds of evil spirits coming and going. To make ends meet, He Ye started livestreaming on a popular platform. At first, hardly anyone watched. Then he read a viewer's fortune and saved their life. Suddenly, his livestream filled with viewers, all begging him to read their fortunes. As He Ye grew more famous, a renowned supernatural investigation show invited him to appear. At first, He Ye refused. But when he learned the appearance fee was nearly a million per episode, he agreed without a second thought. Most of the guests on the show were major figures in the world of metaphysics, and none of them took the newcomer He Ye seriously. Even the comments during the first episode were full of remarks like: [Seriously, which company shoved a newly debuted celebrity onto the show? He's obviously just a pretty face, using a paranormal show as a stepping stone. What kind of idiot is his manager?] [Skip, skip, skip. Stop pointing the camera at that useless pretty face. I want to see what the masters can do.] [Here it comes, He the Pretty Face's epic fail is about to happen!] But in the episodes that followed: After the masters explained their opinions, they would instinctively glance over at He Ye. When his expression remained unchanged, they would silently breathe a sigh of relief. The comments did a complete 180: [My boyfriend is so amazing! I apologize for being so ignorant before!] [This show has a conscience. They actually invited so many powerful experts, especially my husband.] [These paper figures look so realistic, and every face is different. Bonus points for the special effects.] [They're... kind of cute, actually. I really want one.] [Reminder: These are not special effects! These paper figures were all drawn by our boss He himself. Please provide the livestream ID xxxxxx. If you're interested, go check it out!] [By the way, does anyone else think Xiao He and his assistant work together really well?] [Hehehe, finally someone noticed. Come ship them with me!] [I'm obsessed with them too!] [The assistant really loves him. (Covers mouth and cries.)] By the time the show ended, He Ye had not only earned a considerable income, but had also become a leading figure in the world of metaphysics. And it seemed he'd even gained a... husband. Mu Xijing was a deity worshipped by the sorcerers of Xuan Chun Temple. A calamity had taken the life of the person dearest to him. For over thirty years, Mu Xijing searched for that person's reincarnation, but found no trace of him. Then, recently, the owner of a paper effigy shop caught his attention. To find out whether this person was the one he held dear, Mu Xijing approached and tested him again and again, until he saw the unusual mark on the young man's lower back... “He” had finally returned. One day, a job advertisement appeared at the entrance to the paper effigy shop, and Mu Xijing came by to apply in person. Mu Xijing: Boss He, I'm here to apply. He Ye shot him a sidelong glance, refusing without a word. Mu Xijing did his best to convince him: I can serve customers, keep the books, clean, cook, give massages, catch ghosts, and learn anything else you need. He Ye remained silent. Mu Xijing: I don't need a salary. He Ye: ...Congratulations, you've got the job.

Please check out my new novel: Global Contamination: I'm a Monster Big Shot When Bai Xincheng opened his eyes, he had returned to his family's little supermarket. Outside, his neighbor Uncle Ma said he had no food at home and begged him to open the door. But Bai Xincheng clearly remembered this as the first time he encountered a contaminated creature in his previous life. Uncle Ma had already mutated into a toad-man. A typhoon and torrential rain that never let up; ivy covering almost the entire building; patients gnawing on corpses in the hospital stairwell; more than a dozen feral cats in the neighborhood tearing into living people; a stray dog in the mall with two man-eating fish heads... Everything pointed to the impending apocalypse. Bai Xincheng wasn't panicked, though. He had survived for over a decade in the apocalypse after the contamination outbreak, so scenes like these were nothing new to him. The only thing he couldn't get used to was having to abandon the “German Shepherd” he'd raised for over ten years. - Si Kongxing, captain of Team One in the Special Operations Department, was his lover in his previous life. During a mission, Si Kongxing had met with an accident while saving Bai Xincheng. Afterward, Si Kongxing's superior pointed at Bai Xincheng and called him a jinx, saying that a once-in-a-century talent like Si Kongxing had been ruined by him. His teammates also mocked him to his face, saying that their captain should have been the guardian deity of the Central Base, not someone trapped in a romantic relationship with him. His parents wept as they blamed him, saying they never should have let him take their son away. It seemed everyone thought he had clung to Si Kongxing and caused his death. Reborn into a new life, Bai Xincheng decided to give them what they wanted and stay out of Si Kongxing's world. But the man stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to him all over again. He couldn't shake him off. Si Kongxing: Why do you keep avoiding me? Bai Xincheng: You're annoying. Si Kongxing: Why? Bai Xincheng: You're as irritating as a dog, always clinging to me. Si Kongxing: Have you ever had a dog? Bai Xincheng: It died. Si Kongxing: Then get another one. [Gong pursues shou] [The gong was murdered, while the shou was made the scapegoat. The misunderstanding will be cleared up later.] [The gong's personality is naturally like a German Shepherd. After mutating from the contamination, one of his original forms is a North American gray wolf, a dog-type animal.] Theme: Work with your own hands, and you'll have enough to eat.
