Blurb:

The night before Mu Yun was delighted to hear he was getting promoted, he received a notice that he was being demoted.

Him: ???

The two-faced colleague who had framed him and taken his position proudly posted on social media.

[My first day working under my idol, the Supreme Deity Ling Zhi! I'll do my best!]

Mu Yun thought that once he ascended again, he would make that guy pay. But not long afterward, the two-faced colleague was dismissed.

Soon after, the Supreme Deity Ling Zhi sent him a message.

[When are you coming back to work?]

Mu Yun was astonished. Rumor had it that the Supreme Deity had been making things difficult for the two-faced colleague because of him. Could it actually be true?

But how could a Supreme Deity, always so refined, aloof, and proud, do something like that...

Though he couldn't understand it, he worked diligently to ascend again.

He was good at everything from catching ghosts to dispelling evil. Before long, he had turned a whole host of business tycoons and popular celebrities into his devoted fans. The man everyone disliked had transformed into someone everyone adored.

Everything was going just as he had expected. The only surprise was the arrival of the Supreme Deity Ling Zhi.

Watching the deity pet a cat on the sofa, Mu Yun couldn't help asking, "Why won't you stay in your perfectly good Supreme Deity's Hall? Why insist on squeezing in here with me?"

The Supreme Deity: "It's too lonely by myself."

The hundreds of immortals in the Supreme Deity's Hall: ...Are we all invisible?

One day, the Supreme Deity dragged in the two-faced colleague who had framed Mu Yun.

"I finally caught him making a mistake. What should we do with him?"

The two-faced colleague: "?"

What do you mean, finally?

Mu Yun rubbed his hands together eagerly. "Demote him to the mortal realm too!"

The Supreme Deity: "Understood. Throw him into the underworld and put him in the cauldron of boiling oil."

Mu Yun: "..."

The big shot really is more ruthless than I am!

Recently, the Immortal Realm discussion group had exploded with gossip.

They say the Supreme Deity Ling Zhi is in love?!

The immortal maidens were furious. They all clamored to drag out the person who had stolen their dream man and give them a good scolding.

Mu Yun: I don't know why, but I've been sneezing so much lately.

He saw the messages in the discussion group, turned around, and asked nosily, "Supreme Deity, who is that person?"

The Supreme Deity raised an eyebrow. "You."

Mu Yun: "..."

Mu Yun: "???"

Coming soon: My Roommate Is the Ghost King Because I'm Poor. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb:

As an ordinary wage slave, Chen Xian's defining trait was being poor. He only bought clothes from street stalls, so of course he rented the cheapest place he could find.

The landlord accepted his 200-yuan deposit and tossed him a key to the room.

Room 414. What a great number...

Only after moving in did he discover that a handsome roommate lived next door.

Judging by his appearance and bearing, there was no way he should be living in a room that cost 200 yuan.

But looking on the bright side, maybe he'd just gone bankrupt?

At first, Chen Xian and his beautiful roommate got along pretty well. But as time went by, he increasingly felt there was something off about the guy.

For example, he often saw his roommate standing by the window in the middle of the night, talking to himself...

And then there was the time his roommate was washing his face, but the mirror showed no one at all...

When it got hot, the guy even carried an ice coffin into the living room and lay down inside it...

Chen Xian: What a good roommate, saving electricity!

Coming soon 2: After Taking a Part-Time Job in the Underworld, My Boss Fell for Me

Blurb

[An old college with a century of history. Learn systematically how to dispel evil and catch ghosts, and solve the problem of finding a job. Apply today!]

Looking at the blunt slogan his father had written on the college wall years ago, Shi Yan admired the fact that the school hadn't been shut down for "promoting feudal superstition."

He hadn't enrolled to study. He had come to become the dean.

The school's credit system was simple: catch ghosts to prove your worth.

[Exorcise an ordinary little ghost: 2 credits]

[Capture a vengeful ghost or spirit: 5 credits]

[Subdue a monstrously evil ghost: 100 credits]

[Earn 1,000 credits within three years to graduate; earn 2,000 credits to graduate with a guaranteed job placement; earn 5,000 credits...]

Shi Yan: "If I earn 10,000 credits in a year, can I become the dean directly?"

The current dean: "...Don't even think about it! And where are you finding so many ghosts?!"

Shi Yan: "It's nothing. I just did my internship somewhere with lots of ghosts."

A certain someone sat on the throne in the Hall of Fengdu. "So you'd rather be that lousy dean than stay and work for me?"

Shi Yan, the Ghost King’s part-time secretary: "That's not it. It's just that as a good young person of the new era, I ought to serve my country more."

The vicious ghosts and evil spirits tied up nearby sobbed. "So you used us to earn credits?"

Shi Yan: "I was just getting some practice..."

A certain someone: "Since you practiced on my people, it wouldn't be unreasonable to collect a little internship fee, would it?"

Looking at the Great Emperor of Fengdu as he came closer and closer, Shi Yan: "..."

What should I do when my internship boss has ulterior motives toward me? Waiting for answers online!!!

Coming soon 3: Whoever Wants to Be This Doormat Can Be One

Jing Yan accidentally transmigrated into the romance novel his younger sister had written, becoming one of its doormat side characters.

The person he was devoted to was his neighbor, Xiu Yun. Born into a wealthy family and the school's campus heartthrob, Xiu Yun had always been adored by the whole school.

Taking advantage of living near Xiu Yun, Jing Yan was quite conspicuous. He not only pursued him openly, but also went around proclaiming that he and Xiu Yun were made for each other.

In the book, Xiu Yun had a canon pairing: Zhuo Youran, a delicate, crybaby type who even whimpered like a baby. He was exactly the sort of person Jing Yan couldn't stand looking at.

In the story, Jing Yan was a scheming two-faced character who would frame Zhuo Youran over and over. Just thinking about it gave Jing Yan a headache.

He was at the best age of eighteen or nineteen. Why should he go to all that trouble to fight someone else over a man?

Wouldn't it be better to study hard and make something of himself?!

From then on, Jing Yan was often seen in the classroom, the library, and the laboratory. He won every scholarship he could.

Without his constant shadow following him around, Xiu Yun felt a little unaccustomed to it and couldn't help wondering what had happened to him.

At the school's sports meet, Zhuo Youran, who was cheering for Xiu Yun, bumped into Jing Yan.

According to the plot, Jing Yan should have used the opportunity to fall down, then framed Zhuo Youran. That backwards maneuver would bring Zhuo Youran and Xiu Yun closer together.

But Jing Yan had no intention of doing that. He turned and threw himself into the competition, taking first place in the long-distance race.

At the end-of-term awards ceremony, Jing Yan, who had always rushed to give Xiu Yun flowers before Zhuo Youran could, stood on the podium alongside Xiu Yun this time.

"Is this the power of love?"

"It's so touching, becoming a better person for the one you love!"

Jing Yan: "?"

It seemed that getting away from the influence Xiu Yun had on his life wouldn't be so simple.

He steeled himself, stayed up all night writing a love letter to the campus belle, who already had a boyfriend, and publicly announced it on social media.

The news that "Jing Yan has changed his sexual orientation" quickly spread throughout the school. Even Xiu Yun couldn't sit still and came to confront him.

"When did you start liking girls?"

Jing Yan: "I've always liked girls. Everything I did to you before was just youthful ignorance. Don't take it to heart."

With me no longer in the way, Xiu Yun would be able to be with Zhuo Youran in peace. He should be happy, right?

So why did he look so upset?

At the family gathering at the end of the year, Jing Yan's mother was smiling happily. After all, while Xiu Yun's parents talked about academics, she was finally able to join in.

"I don't know what got into Xiao Jing. He suddenly came to his senses and got second place in the whole school!"

Xiu Yun's parents praised him sincerely too. "I always said he'd been smart since he was little."

Jing Yan's mother smiled even more broadly. "He used to say he wanted to go to the same university as your Xiao Yun. Now his dream can finally come true!"

At that point, Jing Yan, sitting beside them, spoke up.

"I'm going to become a psychologist. His university doesn't have a psychology program."

Everyone was astonished.

Xiu Yun tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

After dinner, Xiu Yun blocked Jing Yan in the hotel corridor.

Jing Yan was puzzled: I've already stayed far away from that baby-voiced crybaby. Is he still going to hit me just to keep the plot on track?

As he wondered whether he should call the police, the other man's tone softened.

"Which university are you applying to? I'll go with you."

Theme: What doesn't break me will only make me stronger.
