My Days Gathering Material in Infinite Flow

Blurb:

For some reason, Li Xiang has ended up inside an infinite-flow game instance. He can leave only by uncovering the truth. But this infinite-flow world is full of bizarre things.

A certain celebrity has entered several infinite-flow game instances, yet still comes back as a newcomer every time. The truth is that she fails every single time she enters.

A certain celebrity has a dazzling career in the infinite-flow world, and jealous haters call him a resource-backed star. The truth is that he works as a merchant in the game instances.

There really are remarkable people in every line of work. But the most remarkable of all is Li Xiang:

Others: “Waaah, please don't kill me! I'll look for clues, okay?”

Li Xiang: “Hello, ma'am ghost. Would you be willing to tell me your story?”

While everyone else diligently searches for clues, he enthusiastically gathers material, daring to face the terror of female ghosts for the sake of his work.

He even manages to make a movie that becomes an enormous hit. Not only does he uncover the truth behind the game, he also helps bring the real-life crimes that have been covered up into the light, so that the wicked are punished and the good are rewarded.

Of course, the most remarkable thing of all is that he finds out the “truth” about the infinite-flow world:

Li Xiang: “So who exactly gave you the idea to set things up like this?”

A certain ghost god surnamed Yan: “We learned it all from you people in the world of the living. And it works pretty well, doesn't it?”

As he makes more and more movies and his career grows ever more successful, he also attracts admirers. For example, a newly appointed King of Hell:

“My lord, since you like Director Li, why not just tell him? If you keep loving him in secret, you'll only end up missing your chance.” The representative, chosen by the many underworld ghosts who ship the couple, looked speechlessly at the hopeless King of Hell, who was using the Mirror of Retribution to spy on the person he loved.

“Even though I'm the King of Hell, I still have to obey the rules and not interfere in the world of the living. So I won't tell him until after he dies.”

“Then how long will you wait, my lord? At least make sure you establish your relationship.”

“I can wait until he dies.” The King of Hell looked completely serious. “While he's alive, I can't be with him. Would he have to spend his whole life living like a widow for my sake? I won't put him in a difficult position.”

Pairing: A contrast-loving, theatrical, newly appointed King of Hell as the pursuer X a sharp-tongued director who has few taboos and a little kindness as the pursued

Plot-driven, with a fairly limited romance. The pursuer appears very little, so please don't read if that bothers you. An alternate modern setting, with technology a little more advanced than ours.

Lots and lots and lots of invented details. An alternate setting, an alternate setting, a very alternate setting, the kind with almost no grounding in reality. Historical nitpickers, please stay away.

The author isn't a director, so there will definitely be some unprofessional parts. Thank you for understanding.

It's not purely an infinite-flow story, not purely a showbiz story, and not purely about making movies.

Theme: Good and evil are always repaid in kind. If there is no retribution, its time has simply not yet come.
