---Blurb---
A silly, sweet comedy
Little idol Qi Yu had been a nobody in the entertainment industry for three years when a top-tier star and award-winning actor suddenly appeared and asked him to join a dating reality show to promote a couple image together.
Qi Yu was overjoyed. I'm finally going to be famous!
Rumor had it the actor had a girlfriend, but Qi Yu didn't care. It wasn't as if he liked men anyway. It was just a business relationship. No feelings, no sex, just acting. They'd each get what they wanted and part ways amicably.
But only a few days into the show, Qi Yu discovered that this actor was a completely clueless, textbook straight guy, the kind who'd break the second you bent him! The desperate nobody rolled up his sleeves and started coaching the actor, teaching him how to flirt with him, step by step.
"Teacher Lu, when I say I'm cold, it's because I want you to put your coat around me, not say, 'I'm cold too!'"
"Teacher Lu, when the host asks which movie character you like best, pick one I've played. Don't say Iron Man!"
"Teacher Lu, the production team arranged a game for two so you could help me, not knock me down!"
Every day, the aloof actor Lu Tingzhou was forced to play along, frowning as he went along with Qi Yu's outrageous antics.
But later, Lu Tingzhou got more and more practiced at playing along, and things gradually started to go off script.
Lu Tingzhou, perfectly frank: "Someone's coming. Give me your hand."
Qi Yu: "Oh."
Lu Tingzhou, completely straight-faced: "The paparazzi are taking pictures. Hold my arm."
Qi Yu: "Oh..."
Lu Tingzhou, without batting an eye: "Let's give the fans a treat and take a kissing photo."
Qi Yu: "...Wait a minute!"
That same day, the top fan of the "Rain Stops" couple fandom switched accounts by mistake. A certain "textbook straight guy's" verified account was exposed, and he started bouncing around the couple's supertopic.
@Lu Tingzhou (113 consecutive sign-ins): I'm dying over them! I'm dying over them! Why haven't they kissed yet? They're moving so slowly, I'm so anxious! Sisters, push their heads together for me!
Qi Yu: "..."
Lu Tingzhou: "..."
Qi Yu: "Actor Lu, you're pretty good at this. Care to explain?"
#Help, I thought you were a textbook straight guy!#
#Was I tricked? Who turned whom?#
I'm just going to quietly watch you teach me how to flirt with you. Scheming actor gong x Always thought he was the flirty one, but the other guy was simply playing at a higher level. Adorable nobody shou
* Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
* Neither the gong nor the shou is actually straight.
* The girlfriend isn't real.

The Haunted-House Trial-Stay Streamer Is Trending Again [Entertainment Industry]
Ever since he dominated the negative trending topics for a whole week five years ago, little star Gu Shi plummeted from a rising top-tier star prospect to a nobody at the bottom of the entertainment industry. He made a living playing all kinds of weird roles in unreliable little productions, and eventually shamelessly went into streaming, becoming a haunted-house trial-stay streamer who occasionally livestreamed product promotions.
Every haunted house he stayed in stopped being haunted. The strange noises vanished, the vengeful spirits stopped demanding lives, and the feng shui turned auspicious, bringing good fortune. Every property could now be sold for a good price.
Real-estate developers lined up to call him "Dad." Gu Shi: "Heh, no big deal. They're all my people... my ghosts."
Whether actor or streamer, those were just side jobs. His real job was as a civil servant in the underworld, commonly known as a ghost reaper. He had a stable government position, a real iron rice bowl. He usually escorted souls and caught ghosts, and in his spare time helped all sorts of little ghosts seek justice, ran errands, fulfilled their last wishes, and earned some extra money. He was famous throughout the underworld as the Ghosts' Bane, an undisputed top-tier star among ghosts, surrounded by all kinds of little ghosts every day. Life was sweet.
Who would want to be some kind of top-tier star in the mortal world?
Unfortunately, his carefree life came to an abrupt halt the day he reunited with Chu Mo.
That day, Gu Shi got a job: deliver a love letter from a crazy fan ghost to an actor in the mortal world.
Gu Shi looked at the recipient's name and twitched his mouth. "I want to cancel the job."
Crazy Fan Ghost: "Boo-hoo-hoo."
The next day, actor Chu Mo stared at the pink letter folded into a little heart, his expression playful. "Is sending love letters to your ex-boyfriend the trend these days?"
Gu Shi braced himself. "I didn't send it. A ghost did."
Chu Mo opened the letter and read it aloud, clearly and emphatically, in front of everyone. "Ah! I want to go rock climbing on Big Brother's abs. Ah! I want to swim along Big Brother's collarbones. Ah! I want to have four little monkeys with Big Brother?"
Gu Shi was on the verge of tears. "Teacher Chu, it really was a ghost."
The actor: "...Mm."
Gu Shi: "Chu, why the hell are you blushing?!"
I don't want to trend again!
A marketing account posted a secretly filmed clip of the love letter being delivered on set: Nobody-level Star Will Stop at Nothing to Get Famous! He'll Do Anything to Get into the Actor's Bed!
@Gu Shi: Want to get into the actor's bed? Sorry, five years ago, I was the one who kicked him out of bed.
@Chu Mo: Then may I get back in tonight? Kitty-begging.jpg

The human heartthrob who refuses to let go and only loves his ex-boyfriend, gong x adored by everyone, kicked away by every ghost, and shunned by every flower, a top-tier star in both the mortal and spirit worlds, shou
Theme: With enough effort, even an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle.
It's really good-looking. It's one of the few unconventional articles I've read in the entertainment industry this year. To be honest, it's better-looking than the ones on the list. But the data is so miserable. I hope the author becomes popular. Come on.
The new article "After I Failed to Pretend to Be A, I Turned on My Rival" has been published, showing me the way to the next door ~ Take a bow!
I got this from Brother Lu. Both books are really good to read. I love you so much.
Finished with flowers? I love it! At first I just wanted to pick up a shorter book and read it casually, but I discovered a treasure and fell in love with it.
Director Xiao chased his wife with his life hahahahaha
I've finished reading it. It's a great article. The friendship, family, and love are very touching. I hope the author will publish better works in the future.
Innocent non-mainstream stupid team leader x flirts with an irresponsible well-known director?
So Brother Chen is the attacker??
After reading it, I was very moved and worth it. There are struggles, dreams, tears, laughter, struggles, passion, love, family affection, and friendship. It seems like a legend, but it is the most ordinary story in the world. Every character has the warmth of an ordinary person. I came here and listened to the author tell a heart-warming story.
It's so warm, I burst into tears????????????
