Part-Time Superstar, Full-Time Priest

Superpowered blind beauty bottom × money-powered genius heartthrob top

This is a story about turning himself over to the authorities, getting an official job, and charging into the entertainment industry. By day, this gorgeous, tragic star is at the top of his game. By night, he fights monsters, and along the way, he mends a broken relationship.

Official title: Lu Yao Must Become a Star

A former child star who shot to fame as a teenager, Lu Yao has been through an unofficial blacklist, a car accident that left him blind, and a life full of ups and downs, downs, and more downs... Then, in an accident, he finds himself at the heart of a battlefield under attack by supernatural disasters.

The good news: He awakens the Temple System!

By performing in public and gathering spiritual power, he can form contracts with followers, turning ordinary people into superhumans in a world where spiritual energy has yet to revive.

Before long, a special government contract is placed before him: Join the supernatural management agency!

The top-secret organization will set up a publicity department just for him and assemble a team: a commanding officer, an elite sharpshooter, a legendary hacker, an artist with tens of millions of fans, an award-winning actor, and an entire squad of online commenters. Together, they’ll help him sweep through... well, not sweep through, but conquer the entertainment industry all over again.

What’s there to think about? Sign! Lu Yao turns himself over on the spot, gets his social insurance and housing fund, and begins living the kind of life you’d find in a wish-fulfillment novel.

The bad news: His first follower is his ex-boyfriend, whom he split up with seven years ago.

During the darkest period of his life, Jiang Fengqing was like an older brother to Lu Yao, guiding him and helping him through both life’s low points and the peaks of his academic career. He was the person Lu Yao trusted and loved most.

But then everything came to an abrupt end, and they parted in silence.

When they meet again, a pampered heir to a wealthy family has somehow appeared on a supernatural battlefield. Jiang Fengqing has already worked as an investigator many times, and he has even written Lu Yao’s name into his will.

As the star rises to fame step by step, his followers grow in number. Is the priest supposed to sing and dance all by himself to supply them with energy?

System: Don’t get things backwards! Followers are the priest’s nuclear-powered workhorses. Of course they have to work, not just fight.

This System offers exploration of illusory worlds. You can enter small alien worlds where your supernatural abilities originated, study cutting-edge theories and technology, and exchange points for new materials and miraculous potions.

Lu Yao stays true to his original purpose and hands most of what he gains over to the organization, helping Chinese technology take off overnight and quietly leap five hundred years ahead.

But he can convert a small portion for his own use, making his personal studio the most unbelievable presence in the entertainment industry.

Someone uses a face swap to spread rumors? His personal website launches an AI authentication tool generations ahead of its time.

Someone makes malicious accusations out of thin air? He publicly releases footage of time and space being rewound from the spirit realm. Don’t worry too much if the camera angle is a little strange.

People mock him for having no roles to play? There are millions of incredible stories on alien worlds, so he might as well build a whole new film and television industry himself.

People complain that he can only sing covers? He performs twenty original songs in a row at a concert, setting Chinese music back twenty years overnight... Sorry, that came out wrong. This isn’t cutting-edge technology. His boyfriend wrote those songs for him. The word “ex” doesn’t sound right, so let’s not use it anymore.
