Chi Mian is a human who wandered into a strange world, all alone.
Apart from her newly awakened talent, [Scratch Card (S)], she has nothing.
Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. After somehow acquiring a house of her own, Chi Mian settled into a life that was both normal and abnormal.
The strange world isn't all that different from the world of ordinary humans, except...
The supermarket downstairs from her apartment sometimes closes, putting up a sign that reads, "Rule-Based Horror in Progress, Temporarily Closed."
The No. 404 bus she takes to work every day occasionally has a few real humans on board. They get squeezed among a crowd of monsters, trembling and drenched in sweat, before mysteriously vanishing.
The company hires a new batch of interns every month. Chi Mian's colleagues usually eat a few of them, then let the rest go.
When her colleague cheerfully invited her to join the meal, Chi Mian smiled and declined.
"Why don't you ever eat people?" her colleague asked curiously.
Chi Mian pointed at the livestream camera and gave a shy smile. "I'm the internet's most human-looking streamer. I can't ruin my own brand."
Her colleague licked his sharp teeth with a snake-like tongue, suddenly understanding.
He thought, "Being the internet's most human-looking streamer" really isn't a job just any monster can do. Impressive!
"When your merch comes out, I'll definitely buy dozens of them and eat them!" Her colleague swallowed, his expression friendly.
Chi Mian had thought she could coast through her whole life like this (or get discovered and die, if she didn't coast).
Unexpectedly, she received an invitation to a dating reality show.
Uh, a dating show in the world of monsters...
"Mianmian, you have to go for the sake of our company!"
At the nine-headed serpent boss's command, Chi Mian, the streamer known as "the internet's most human-looking," had no choice but to join the wildly popular show called Heart-Pounding Monsters.
Heart-Pounding Monsters is the first livestream dating show in the monster world, a monster dating show that claims to "stand on the shoulders of every dating show in the human world."
It's a huge sensation, with sky-high popularity across the monster internet.
But Chi Mian only plans to coast.
Chi Mian: Why would a human want to be this popular in the monster world?
And yet...
"Sweetheart, your human-like appearance is absolutely captivating!"
The first male guest is a pale, beautiful monster with deep crimson eyes and a pair of little wings on his back. Whenever he sees her, his eyes light up and his Adam's apple bobs, as if she looks delicious.
"Sister Mianmian, you smell so good. What brand of perfume do you use?"
The second male guest turns into a three-headed dog whenever he gets excited. He breathes in the faint human scent coming from Chi Mian and is completely entranced.
"Sister Mianmian..."
"Mianmian..."
Chi Mian: I can't stay on this dating show for another second!
CP: The ever-changing, diabolically cunning nine-headed serpent boss. (Probably?)
Notes: 1. There will be a fair amount of everyday life, so it's not all dating-show content!
2. The heroine isn't extremely kind-hearted, and won't rush to help just because she sees a human. She's in danger herself!
3. The blurb may be revised, but the central premise won't change.
Theme: An ordinary life is precious
