I Went Viral on a Variety Show Thanks to Metaphysics

[Updates paused]

Ye Jingzhi, a senior disciple who can catch ghosts and tell fortunes, transmigrates!

He becomes a pitiful little idol saddled with tens of millions in debt.

To pay it off, Ye Jingzhi decides to use the hottest livestreaming platform to make a name for himself as a master of metaphysics.

Unexpectedly, one livestream makes Ye Jingzhi an overnight sensation, and a televised idol survival show comes looking for him.

And so...

Other idols sing and dance for their individual skills. Ye Jingzhi: I'll show everyone how to use talismans and peachwood swords!

Other idols cozy up to their fans on livestreams. Ye Jingzhi: Did you know? You've got a sinister peach blossom fate.

Other idols tremble on a haunted escape-room variety show. Ye Jingzhi: The production crew set up this ritual altar in the wrong place. Let me set one up for you.

Netizens: Wasn't this supposed to be a cheerful, wholesome, proper idol survival show?

Ye Jingzhi becomes an overnight sensation, and with that comes a wave of doubt about him:

#YeJingzhi'sProfessionDoesn'tSuitAnIdol

#DoesYeJingzhiReallyHaveTheBasicQualitiesOfAnIdol

But when the show airs, everyone is surprised to find that Ye Jingzhi seems to be pretty talented?

A senior disciple from a certain Taoist temple gives a scornful laugh: You really thought he learned nothing from singing sutras and practicing martial arts in the temple?

Please add my upcoming story to your favorites! "After Faking My Death, I Entered a Boy Band Survival Show." Here's the blurb:

Jiang Yi gets the cliché script of the real prince and the fake prince. Overnight, he goes from Wang Erdan from the village to the young master of a company.

Unfortunately, wealthy families care less about blood ties and cherish the fake son they have spent years raising. To them, Jiang Yi is just an extra dog to feed.

They make him the fake son's boxing sparring partner and turn a blind eye to his bruises.

They make him run ten kilometers in the dead of winter to buy congee, all because the fake son, running a slight fever, says he wants congee from that shop.

They abuse him until they deprive him of food and water. He passes out from low blood sugar in the basement for a day and a night, and nobody notices.

Then Jiang Yi attends a party aboard the family's corporate yacht, loses his strength, and falls overboard...

His parents truly believe he is dead.

However, Jiang Yi is lucky enough to be rescued by fishermen and survive. He finally decides to sever ties with that family, and by chance, joins an idol survival show.

Later on...

Commercials of every size line the streets, and they're all featuring him.

His dazzling smile shines from television screens.

He's the one attending events as the face of all kinds of major international brands.

During a segment on the show interviewing the contestants' families, his biological parents, now bankrupt, stare at the extravagantly luxurious villa behind his adoptive parents, grinding their teeth in fury.

Theme: Live positively, work hard, and welcome a wonderful life
