The Demon King Goes Viral on a Survival Variety Show

[My new novel, All Villains? No Problem, I'm a Black Koi!, is now available. Come check it out!]

Bei Yang is a cat spirit who, after stepping down as Demon King, accidentally transmigrates into an entertainment-industry novel as a spoiled, troublesome female supporting character.

The original character joined the heroine in a survival reality show. She was spoiled, cried easily, and couldn't handle hardship, making her the perfect foil for the hardworking heroine.

After the show ended, the heroine shot to fame, while the original character was hated by the entire internet, forced to leave the industry, and eventually, after desperately trying to make a comeback, hit by a car on a rainy night and killed.

After transmigrating, Bei Yang looks around in disdain. What a joke! This tiny, shabby forest is supposed to make this queen suffer?

At first, netizens bet that this fussy, spoiled princess wouldn't last a single day.

Then...

The face-slapping came way too fast!

-- Bei Yang can catch snakes!

-- Bei Yang can speak monkey!

-- Bei Yang is having a whole fish feast in the forest!

Ten days later, while the other contestants were exhausted and living like savages, Bei Yang was still beautiful and pampered, living like a princess.

Netizens: ...!!

Damn, our faces are swollen.

With a string of astonishing feats, Bei Yang became famous.

She even became famous internationally.

Thanks to her excellent performance in the jungle survival show, Bei Yang and her teammates were invited to compete in a world-class survival contest.

On the polar snowfields, while the other contestants were still trying to figure out how to get their sled dogs moving, Bei Yang was already leading a pack of snow wolves, pulling her and her teammates straight into the sky!

[No words. I'm just so jealous of her teammates right now.]

[Sis Yang, Sis Yang, do you still need a teammate? I can cook and keep your bed warm.]

Gu Hechen, Bei Yang's regular partner, pushed up his glasses and smiled smugly. "Bei Yang is mine. You've already missed your chance."

Blurb for All Villains? No Problem, I'm a Black Koi!

Yu Li is the most useless fish in the Koi Clan. Though she's a lucky koi meant to bestow blessings, she awakened a jinxing tongue that brings bad luck whenever she opens her mouth.

After she wreaked havoc on the Koi Clan, her fellow clan members finally had enough and kicked her into a small world.

This small world has no normal sense of right and wrong. Everyone is a villain, and Yu Li is a hopeless romantic who bullies anyone who gets close to her fiance. After offending nearly everyone, she is used up by her fiance and casually cast aside.

When Yu Li first arrives, she plans to keep up appearances and be a good person.

But when her fiance stands by her hospital bed, refuses to even pour her a glass of water, and tries to sweet-talk her into transferring his hundred-billion fortune into his account, Yu Li can't take it anymore. She fires back sarcastically: "You won't even do something as simple as pour me a glass of water, but you want a hundred billion? What happened to your face... I mean, where is your face? Oh, I hate faceless men. Hurry to the hospital and get yourself one."

The next moment, her fiance trips on flat ground, lands face-first, and fractures his nose.

At the same time, a voice rings in Yu Li's mind.

[Merit +1]

Yu Li: ?

She may have figured out how to use her talent!

So when an acquaintance asks to borrow money but refuses to write an IOU, Yu Li says: "Then you've got the wrong person. You should ask the God of Wealth. Just say a few nice things to him, and he'll surely bless you with fortune and riches!"

When an award-winning actor fails to pressure her into sleeping with him and instead smears her reputation, Yu Li says: "Yes, yes, I have terrible character, and my health is terrible too. I'm nothing like you, still vigorous and healthy at your age."

Before long, the private club run by her so-called acquaintance is investigated for illegal activity and forced into liquidation.

Photos of the actor sneaking into a hospital and registering first with the infectious disease department, then with the men's clinic, spread all over the internet.

After cursing so many people, Yu Li grows worried that her identity will be exposed and she'll be taken apart for research.

So she seeks out Pei Sinian, a man said to be ruthless and nicknamed the Bringer of Misfortune.

All she has to do is help him with a small favor, and afterward, whenever she curses someone, he helps cover it up and clean up the mess.

Pei Sinian dutifully takes all the hatred Yu Li attracts and redirects it onto himself.

With nothing left to worry about, Yu Li has the time of her life earning merit.

But gradually, she realizes something is off.

They agreed to help each other and use each other. Pei Sinian has cleaned up so many of her messes, so why hasn't he asked her for anything?

Pei Sinian smiles. "I like the way you curse people. Why don't you curse me too?"

Yu Li: ...

Damn, what a pervert!

@

Pei Sinian has the refined air of a gentleman, yet people call him the Bringer of Misfortune and a harbinger of doom.

No one knows that he was born with the luck of a koi.

After his parents died in a car accident and his elder brother lost a leg, while he himself remained unharmed, Pei Sinian came to hate his good fortune.

He believed his presence was stealing the luck of everyone around him.

Someone like him deserved to be cursed with a lonely fate.

Then he met Yu Li, who was unaffected by him and could even make him experience bad luck from time to time. Hiding his excitement with all his might, Pei Sinian walked up to her.

He smiled faintly. "Miss Yu, help me deal with a little problem, and I'll help you cover it up and clean up afterward. Shall we work together?"
