I'm a Professional at Playing Ghosts [Entertainment Industry]

Novel Blurb:

Shen Xiaoyu is a seasoned ghost actor who accidentally transmigrates into the body of Liao Yisu's good-for-nothing apprentice. Liao Yisu is a feng shui master.

The little apprentice is slow-witted and terrified of ghosts, making him the laughingstock of the entire feng shui world. What a waste of his naturally gifted Yin-Yang Eyes.

But everyone soon notices that the apprentice has suddenly started acting strangely.

He used to burst into tears and wet himself at the sight of a ghost. Now, whenever he sees one, he grabs it and chats away until the ghost is the one crying and wetting itself.

Listen closely, and you might hear conversations like these:

[Your eyeballs are so white, you'd think you were staring at light bulbs. Add some bloodshot veins for a properly terrifying effect. Get it?]

[So this is how a hanging ghost sticks out its tongue. No wonder they always say my acting looks fake.]

[You're a drowned ghost, but there's not a drop of water on you. Could you show some professionalism?]

[You just had to jump off a building, didn't you? You landed face-first, right? Let me tell you, your kind of makeup is the hardest to do.]

Some people say the apprentice has been scared insane by ghosts. Others say he has suddenly had an epiphany.

Before anyone can settle the matter, though, the apprentice dusts himself off and runs off to act in the entertainment industry. And of all things, he chooses to play ghosts, leaving everyone speechless.

Liao Yisu watches his apprentice, who should be heading to the front lines to catch ghosts with a peachwood sword in his left hand, an exorcism talisman in his right, and black dog blood around his neck, happily sporting a ghost face instead. His expression turns ashen. "What are you doing?"

Shen Xiaoyu answers righteously, "Building up my courage."

Liao Yisu: ...

Liao Yisu, a young genius feng shui master who made a name for himself early, has been troubled lately.

His apprentice has tremendous talent, but is scared of ghosts.

Now that he's finally overcome his fear of ghosts, he's developed a new problem: he doesn't want to catch them. He only wants to play them.

Is this apprentice still worth keeping?

Advance Blurb:

Su Xiaolai, a genius in the occult arts, accidentally transmigrates into the body of Su Xiaolai, a fake heiress from a wealthy family. Just as her wealthy adoptive parents kick her out, she is left destitute and penniless.

With no other way to make ends meet, Su Xiaolai applies for a job at a funeral home.

She lands a position as a companion for late-night chats, working from twelve midnight to four in the morning, four hours a day, every day of the year. She even gets double pay for working during Qingming and Ghost Festival.

Faced with all that money, Su Xiaolai promptly gives in.

She thinks she'll be offering counseling to funeral home employees, but the people who come to talk about life with her every night aren't alive.

A young woman who drowned: "His mother and I both fell into the water. Why did he save her instead of me?"

A murdered rich heir: "Who the hell killed me? I haven't even gone back to inherit my fortune!"

A young celebrity who died by suicide after being attacked online: "I regret it. I shouldn't have hanged myself. I died looking awful."

A high schooler worked to death by homework: "Why did my parents bury me with 'Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations'? I want my phone!"

These people, or rather, ghosts, all insist that they won't go to be reincarnated until their lingering obsessions are resolved.

Out of professional habit as a feng shui master, Su Xiaolai has no choice but to work unpaid overtime to help them let go.

But as she goes about clearing their obsessions, the fake heiress becomes a true powerhouse.

Business is booming.

And the funeral home director who refuses to pay overtime, yet constantly takes up her free time by making his presence known, turns out to be none other than her former fiance from the wealthy family.

Shen Xiaolai immediately puts up a notice:

[Chatting outside working hours: 100 per hour, 250 for three hours, or eight times that for a monthly pass.]

Feng Chen immediately pulls out a gold card. "Then let's start with a lifetime of chats."

Su Xiaolai: ...
