The Pretty Vase Goes Viral on a Supernatural Livestream

The entertainment world's useless pretty boy, Lu Qingzhi, was mired in scandals and had almost no public support. His company threw him onto a Chinese supernatural livestream show and left him to fend for himself.

All the guests were obscure nobodies, the supernatural events were staged, and the script was a cheesy mess. The show earned a 2.0 rating on a certain review site.

On the day of the premiere, the livestream was packed with viewers, all haters there to laugh at Lu Qingzhi:

[Lu Qingzhi on a horror show? Hope he doesn't wet himself!]

[The pretty boy and this trash show are made for each other!]

The haters thought this would be another garbage livestream, just like all the others. But when night fell, real ghosts appeared:

A red-clad ghost from the Republican era knocked on the door and asked people to watch her dance.

A slain general drifted by, carrying a dripping bloody sword.

A vicious ghost who had died violently hung in the hallway, her eyes still open in death.

The guests, production crew, and haters were scared witless. They fled in every direction, howling like ghosts and looking utterly ridiculous.

When the camera turned to Lu Qingzhi, everyone was stunned.

Lu Qingzhi still looked as delicate and pitiful as ever, tears glistening in his beautiful eyes.

He looked at the hideous ghosts and held up a lightning talisman, saying softly, "I'm a little timid. Don't scare me, okay?"

The hideous ghosts were afraid of no one but Lu Qingzhi. They served him tea and water, then lined up and rolled away.

That night, the trash show went viral, and Lu Qingzhi's name shot to the top of the trending list:

Lu Qingzhi was the head of a celestial master family. He had lived for over a hundred years, ageless and immortal.

Three hundred years ago, to suppress an evil spirit, he used his looks to seduce the little Ghost King who had just crawled out of his seal. Once he'd achieved his goal, he dumped him without mercy.

Now the Ghost King had become the Netherworld Lord and had pursued him all the way to the supernatural livestream.

Chilling ghostly energy lifted the hem of Lu Qingzhi's clothes, forcing him to raise his head with a soft gasp.

The eyes that had always seemed harmless turned cold, and his breathing grew unsteady. "If you're going to kill me, then do it."

But the Netherworld Lord pressed his lips to the side of his neck, inhaled with fascination, and whispered, "I finally found you."

Over the long centuries, Yali had indeed wanted to tear this man limb from limb.

But after they met again, he changed his mind.

He wanted to see what those usually merciless eyes would look like, clouded with desire.
