I Entered a Metaphysics Variety Show and Became Famous Online

Coming Soon: How to Survive After Reincarnating as the Zombie King's Wife in the Apocalypse?; After Being Obsessively Desired by a Nonhuman Monster

[Cool Senior Brother vs. Kittenish Junior Sister]

Jiang Xingran, a genius junior sister of the mystic arts sect, accidentally transmigrated into a nobody idol. Her agency wasn't ready to give up on her, so it bundled her off to a metaphysics variety show to get her face out there.

On the day of the live broadcast of Spirit Medium 101, the bribed production team kept putting Jiang Xingran in front of the cameras. As expected, the online audience tore into her. She was hated before she even got famous.

While they were waiting, a famous host mindlessly targeted and mocked Jiang Xingran.

Jiang Xingran looked up. "You're raising a little ghost, aren't you? You want the infant spirit to make your career flourish, but haven't you noticed? Your rival has already put a ghost curse on you."

Viewers: [Holy crap, no wonder she's been acting and talking differently lately. Someone really did put a curse on her!]

The production team arranged for all the contestants to spend a night in a haunted house.

That night, ghosts ran amok inside. While the other contestants used exorcism techniques, Jiang Xingran took a different approach and shouted, "We're one short for mahjong!"

According to an insider, the sound of mahjong filled Jiang Xingran's room all night. The ghosts inside lost until they couldn't take it anymore, and in the end, they even had to ask their living family members in dreams to burn them a little more paper money.

Viewers: [Jiang, you're my god!]

Jiang Xingran quickly went viral for her astonishing performance on Spirit Medium. Her agency capitalized on the momentum and sent her to the tenth-anniversary spin-off, Spirit Medium: Battle of the Gods.

She scanned the photos of the proposed contestants. Even if that smug, infuriating face turned to ash, she'd still recognize it. So her mortal enemy, her second senior brother Si Ming, had transmigrated into this book too.

On the day the contestants gathered, sparks flew between the fellow disciples who couldn't stand each other.

The production team took the contestants deep into the Miao borderlands. A local Miao man took a liking to Jiang Xingran and tried to plant a love-at-first-sight curse on her, so he could force her to stay in his village. But by mistake, he planted it on Si Ming instead.

And of all the bad luck, she was standing right in front of him.

I'm doomed, Jiang Xingran thought.

By day, Si Ming was calm and indifferent, his cold gaze giving no hint that he was under a curse.

At night, Jiang Xingran woke to a noise by the window. A black silhouette sat on the window frame, watching her with shadowy eyes and an amused smile. For the first time, she understood how love could drive someone mad. He'd climbed up the three-story stilt house just like that.

"Senior Brother, if you've got energy to burn, how about going outside and plowing a couple of fields?"

"You're my wife."

"???"

Here's another Coming Soon title from my author page: My Taciturn, Terrifying Husband [Zombie]

Blurb:

[Possessive zombie king who dotes on his wife x frail, life-loving, snarky little sister]

1.

Gu Zhao transmigrated into an apocalypse crawling with zombies. Since she had no supernatural abilities, the base forced her to marry the zombie king as a pawn.

She: "...Can zombies tell the difference between a bride and fresh food?"

To ease Gu Zhao's fear of getting married, the people in charge tried to brainwash her:

"He's already changed for the better. He doesn't eat people all the time anymore."

"Look, he's even wearing a bite guard."

"He was a handsome guy with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs when he was alive. Maybe you'll fall in love once you marry him!"

She: "...If he's so great, you go marry him instead."

The next second, one of the officers clicked off the safety on his gun.

Gu Zhao immediately started pulling a long-trailing wedding dress over herself. "Yes, I do!!!"

2.

Wedding venue-

Gu Zhao held a bouquet and slowly walked toward the zombie king under the hungry gazes of the surrounding zombies.

Through his full-face bite guard, her new husband stared at her like a beast watching its prey.

The priest was trembling but still tried to liven things up:

"Looks like our groom is physically attracted to his bride! He must be a devoted and faithful man!"

Gu Zhao: ...I get it. I look at chicken the same way. Purely physical attraction :)

The zombie king's perspective: 🥵 You're my wife.

Wedding night-

Gu Zhao and her zombie husband shared a room but slept in separate beds. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up and could clearly feel someone's scorching gaze on her back.

Gu Zhao, horrified: Is he so hungry that he can't stop himself from pouncing on me and eating me?

The zombie king's perspective: 🥰 My tiny wife looks so cute sleeping over there~

Honeymoon-

Her husband wrapped his arms tightly around her from behind. The cold metal bite guard pressed against the back of Gu Zhao's neck as he whispered, "Wife, you smell so good."

Gu Zhao: You jerk, what kind of good smell do you mean? Be specific!

This bizarre, surreal interspecies marriage somehow ended up being blissfully happy.

No pressure to have kids, because their species were incompatible. No worries about daily necessities and cooking, since her husband preferred to eat things raw. No arguments over family matters, since her husband rarely spoke "human."

Gu Zhao gradually relaxed. Maybe... it wasn't as bad as she'd imagined.

3.

Until Gu Zhao discovered her real golden finger ability, [Zombie Charmer]. Its only skill: Zombies fall in love at first sight!

Not only did the zombie king obey her, but his zombie underlings all bowed to her too.

There wasn't much left to fix up at home, so Gu Zhao simply rolled up her sleeves and helped her family expand its territory and recruit underlings.

Fifteen years into the apocalypse, the Zombie Empire was officially established.

According to paparazzi reports, when their human queen raised a hand, the zombie king would obediently lower his head and let her stroke his face.
