The Tragic Beauty Keeps Pretending to Be Pitiful and Playing Me [Quick Transmigration]

*I'm looking for readers to bookmark my upcoming novel, My Rival and I Join a Dating Show [Entertainment Industry]. The synopsis is at the bottom.*

Who says dying means you can finally rest?

Qi Yang scoffed at the idea.

He was an employee at the Underworld Bureau, diligently slacking off, arriving late and leaving right on time every day.

Naturally, his performance ranked dead last.

But he'd been coasting for two thousand years, and life was good.

Who could have guessed that the Underworld would get caught up in the rat race too!

Every employee at the Underworld Bureau was forced to take an evaluation in the mortal world.

Qi Yang: ...So they won't let us rest even after we're dead, huh?

The director called him in for a talk. "Xiao Qi, just do whatever you want for this evaluation. Think of it as a paid vacation in the human world."

Qi Yang suddenly understood. "Got it, Director. I'll make sure to come in last!"

His evaluation mission was to fulfill the wishes of his assigned targets.

A blacklisted little celebrity is talked into buying something by a flashy salesman and foolishly offers to spend all his savings.

A pitiful kid who's been kidnapped clutches his sleeve and says nervously, "Please don't abandon me. I'll be good. I can do the laundry, cook, and take care of you."

A pitiful boy bullied by a commander's only son lowers his eyes and says, "Young Master, you can do anything you want to me."

Qi Yang: ...I want to slack off too, but he's really so pitiful.

What he hadn't expected was this:

He would turn an obscure little celebrity into a superstar, raise a pitiful kid into a business tycoon, and teach a low-ranking subordinate to become a great commander...

Why did I fail the mission again??

Didn't you say you liked acting, wanted to make money, and wanted to become a commander...?

The man stood obediently before him with his eyes lowered, his once-bright, moonlike face now shadowed with gloom.

I became an actor to be worthy of you, a tycoon so I could support you, a commander so I could protect you...

I did everything, so why do you always have to leave me?

My Rival and I Join a Dating Show [Entertainment Industry]

Everyone in the industry knew that Yu Xuexiao, a stunning idol with nothing going for him but his looks, and Zhou Yunye, a talented newcomer who had just become a major award-winning actor, had a long-standing grudge.

During an interview, Zhou Yunye publicly said Yu Xuexiao had none of the qualities it took to be an idol. He said it harshly, with a taunting smile.

From then on, the two fandoms were constantly at war.

One side believed that skilled actors and idols were natural enemies, and that Zhou Yunye had done nothing wrong by speaking the truth.

The other side believed that with Yu Xuexiao's face, he could rule the world, and that his looks were what made him an idol.

But recently, news broke that they were both appearing on a livestreamed celebrity dating show.

Both fandoms were horrified.

Was this really a dating show and not a horror show?!

Who wants to go on a dating show with their rival?!

*

On the day the dating show premiered, a huge crowd of fans and spectators flooded the livestream.

But what they saw was this:

After being paired up as a couple for the day, Zhou Yunye got up early to make Yu Xuexiao breakfast, all while saying coldly, "Don't get the wrong idea and think I made this for you. I just don't want you getting us trending again."

Yu Xuexiao was quite self-aware. "I know."

The two went on a roller coaster as part of a task. Zhou Yunye warned him, "Don't scream next to me later. You'll embarrass me."

But when Yu Xuexiao got scared out of his wits, it was Zhou Yunye who reached out and let him hold on, then pulled him close against his shoulder.

After getting off, Yu Xuexiao tried to distance himself, his legs still wobbly. "I didn't mean to offend you, Teacher Zhou."

The livestream chat went wild:

[I started following Yeye when he debuted. How did I never know he was such a tsundere who takes care of people?]

[Yu Xuexiao! Give us back our cool, wild bro! Bro, your image has collapsed!]

[Hmph, our Xiao Xiao is so charming that even an award-winning actor can't resist!]

[...]

[Ahhh, I'm going wild for this ship! A prickly, domineering top x a beautiful little airhead bottom. What a legendary pairing!!!]

No one knew that, out of sight of the cameras, a drunk Zhou Yunye buried his face against Yu Xuexiao's shoulder and, eyes red, demanded, "Yu Xuexiao, why did you dump me back then?"
