You Call Yourself a Paranormal Streamer, but Are You Even Legit?

Xia Lin is a male college student who, short on money, is tricked by his unscrupulous agent into becoming an adult livestreamer. To build buzz before his debut, he is sent to participate in an offline collaboration for the platform’s most popular paranormal channel.

Agent: You have to moan! You have to cry! You have to learn to sell your soul and your body! That’s the only way to get the audience’s blood pumping in a scary atmosphere!

Xia Lin: Do I have to show it to the audience all the time?

The agent is exasperated: Who else, the ghosts?

Xia Lin: ...That might work too?

Agent: ???

Three years after the livestream platform’s last streamer convention, viewers slowly type a “?” when they see who won the paranormal channel’s popularity award.

#Is it really okay that the paranormal channel’s popularity king used to be a xx streamer? #

#Is this paranormal streamer even serious??#

A kind viewer explains: That’s just his style. Nothing to be done about it. The ghosts like watching him; it’s just what they’re into.

A certain evil spirit enthusiast nods in agreement.

The love interest appears in Chapter Eleven! Wink!

*Check out my cute upcoming story, After Becoming the Great Villain’s Guardian Spirit. Blurb:

When Wish System Number 8888 opens its eyes, it discovers that it has become a fluffy teddy bear tossed into a trash can. On a discarded children’s picture book nearby, it reads: Every toy belonging to an abandoned child contains a guardian spirit. When the child encounters danger, the guardian spirit will awaken.

Then whose guardian spirit am I?

The little teddy bear that is System Number 8888 searches its whole body and finds one name: Xie Wen.

Xie Wen has the power to command evil spirits and is known as the Lord of Evil Spirits. Rumor has it that he is sinister, obsessive, cruel, and murderous, and no one dares stay by his side.

Until one day, everyone notices a fluffy teddy bear at Xie Wen’s side.

Everyone: ∑(°Д°;≡;°д°) Would even the Lord of Evil Spirits like fluffy teddy bears?

When evil spirits appear, the little bear shields Xie Wen, looking solemn. “You have to hide behind me so I can protect you!”

The Lord of Evil Spirits, Xie Wen, glances at the ghosts trembling across from them and nods obediently. “Mm, okay.”
