After Being Possessed by a Heart Demon

[Upcoming novel, Multiple Personalities. One-line summary: After returning from an infinite-world game, the worlds have fused.] Blurb: Tang Ye, a former Taoist priest, is now an actor. He knows metaphysical arts, can catch ghosts and subdue demons, and knows a whole bunch of bigwigs... but he's still just a nobody ranked near the bottom of the entertainment industry. While saving someone, he was disturbed by his inner demon, and footage of him was accidentally captured. The blue-robed Taoist priest, who should have looked ethereal, appeared like a seductive ghost against the night. The day's trending topic: Seductive Ghost Taoist. Tang Ye: "..." Ever since it was born, the inner demon has stayed true to its original purpose. Its first goal in demonic life is to defeat Tang Ye and take over his body, then wreak havoc on the world. But Tang Ye's will was unshakable, and he treated illusions as nothing. So the inner demon could only... If Tang Ye said east, it went west. If Tang Ye wanted to chase a dog, it caught a chicken. When Tang Ye auditioned for the eighteenth male role, it possessed the second male lead on the spot and signed the contract for him. When Tang Ye wanted to return to the mountains and retire, it took one TV drama after another, then variety shows, then movies. Before long, Tang Ye received a nomination notice for Best Actor. At the award ceremony, Tang Ye had planned to announce his retirement. He grasped the microphone. "There's something I want to tell everyone." Everyone held their breath. In an instant, the inner demon possessed him and grinned coldly. "I'm narcissistic." Tang Ye looked at the audience and chuckled. "...Yes." Backstage, amid the comings and goings, Tang Ye stood with his back against the wall, his head tilted slightly upward. He looked indifferent, except for the strange dampness around his collar. The invisible inner demon gripped his wrist, gnawed at his Adam's apple, and ground its teeth in frustration. "You knew all along that I'd fallen for you!" Tang Ye: "Well... I'm narcissistic, after all."
