Thanks for Asking, I'm on the Run

Young Master Xie was dashing and debonair, and a fine-looking gentleman. All he wanted was to lie around like a lazy fish. One day, his father finally couldn't stand his son's idle, good-for-nothing lifestyle and sent him away to get some real-world experience.

Only something went wrong with the destination, and when Young Master Xie opened his eyes, he was in a survival livestream.

The pampered Young Master Xie was convinced this was a prank his father had arranged. He wasn't scared at all, and even got along very well with the NPCs, as he saw them. Of course, only he thought they were getting along.

On his first day, Young Master Xie saw a body sitting there washing its hair while holding its own head.

Xie Yao: "Hey, handsome, is washing your hair with your head off the latest trend? That's a great hairstyle, so retro."

An old ghost's inner thoughts: I want to scare him too, but he called me handsome.

Another day, a shadow puppet contorted itself into a very strange shape.

Xie Yao: "Man, that's a great dance move. You must have trained for ten years to pull that off."

The shadow puppet: I'm trying to scare you, damn it! What the hell do you mean, dance move? Are you even paying attention?

Xie Yao blinked his big eyes and said with utmost sincerity, "Wow, you have a really nice voice, too."

The shadow puppet's inner thoughts: I want to scare him too, but he clearly means it. Honest people like that are rare. I'd better let him live.

P.S. I'm aiming for comedy, not horror.

[The protagonist is Xie Yao. He appears a little late in Chapter One, but he is definitely the protagonist.]

March 16, 2022: first version of the synopsis

-------The following are upcoming no-romance stories-------

"Xie Yao, Reporting for Work"

That's right, it's our handsome, sweet-talking, lovable Young Master Xie again. It's been almost a year since he returned from the livestream. He happened to find out that his dad's new project, invested in by Lang Zhou, was having trouble and needed someone to help out. So the young master grabbed the address, picked up his suitcase, and set off.

"Online Fortune-Telling, Come Find Out"

Gu Lin was a fortune-teller. He was twenty-five when he died, at the peak of his looks, and although he had been dead for many years, he still looked exactly the same.

He helped the King of the Underworld deal with vengeful spirits, and thought he could finally enjoy the afterlife. But his ninety-eighth-generation descendant was using his name to swindle people, leaving Gu Lin with a terrible reputation among the living. As a result, he failed his performance review. To retire successfully, he had to clear all the bad reviews of fortune-teller Gu Lin.

The first thing Gu Lin did after the King of the Underworld sent him back to the human world was give that unworthy descendant a sound beating. Then he began the difficult task of livestreaming to clear his bad reviews.

Theme: Even when circumstances are difficult, you should still give it your best shot.
