Relationship Livestream: Let's Watch the Drama Online

[A recommendation for my friend’s novel, Married Life of a Laid-Back Actor by Po Ya] [My next novel, I Went Viral Livestreaming Cemetery Sales, is another supernatural gossip novel in the same vein. It’s already underway.] Blurb: In the second semester of his senior year, Pei Yang was preparing to debut as an actor. But right before his debut, his agency ghosted him, deciding he had too much scandalous baggage. His manager felt sorry for him and found him a job to make ends meet: a suggestive male streamer. So when netizens clicked into his livestream, they found Pei Yang dressed in a maid outfit, giving relationship advice? “How can you tell if your boyfriend is willing to marry you? Get pregnant. Pretend to be pregnant.” “Can’t get pregnant because your husband has kidney problems? Could it be that you’re a beard wife?” “Do you have a chance with your crush? Sure. The circus has a part for you tonight.” Netizens thought it was ridiculous. [Even a suggestive streamer has to cultivate a persona now? He’s just selling himself.] [Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare go this far. The script is way too obvious.] [Just watch casually. It’s not bad as some mindless entertainment.] But before long, people were asking: Why is Mom asking me why I’m watching the stream on my knees... “Streamer, you were right. The moment I brought up getting pregnant, he broke up with me. After seven years together, he was just treating me like a free maid!” “Heaven has eyes! That gay man who tricked someone into marriage got tricked too. He caught a disease and got sterilized. He’ll never be able to have children!” “Wahh, streamer, my crush has a crush too. Turns out I’m the clown!” Netizens all over the internet: [The relatives who set me up with someone say they’re doing it for my own good, but really they just want to use me as a bargaining chip!] [We were in love for three years, and my boyfriend gave me 700,000 yuan in fake banknotes as the bride price. He wasn’t just after my money, he wanted my life! Aaaaaah!] [This is hilarious. I used to ignore him, but now I’m studying every frame!] [This is the kind of online class college students should be taking!] The livestream went viral, and Pei Yang became a star. The top donor had troubles of his own lately. After getting dumped by his online girlfriend, he paid a fortune to join the stream for a video call. When Pei Yang saw his devastatingly handsome face, he felt that spring had come for him again. “Heartbroken over an online romance? That’s because you haven’t met me. Why not try someone new, handsome?” The top donor laughed. Pei Yang cried. Damn it! Could someone tell him why his top donor was the same guy he’d dumped online? [Important content warnings]: 1. The protagonist is a flirtatious, sharp-tongued bottom who gives savage commentary during video calls. 2. The bottom [has a romantic history and exes]. How could he give relationship advice without ever having been in a relationship? 3. Most of the jokes come from the internet. The “pregnancy” joke came from Douyin creator “Dan Liang.” Any similarities are purely coincidental. 3. There is a little entertainment-industry content.

Coming soon: I Went Viral Livestreaming Cemetery Sales After graduating in his senior year, all of Pu Li’s classmates were either going on to further study or accepting job offers. Only Pu Li chose to go home and inherit what his grandfather had left him: three thousand burial plots. Before he left, his grandfather urged him to make sure he sold them all. These days, people prefer sea burials, tree burials, or keeping ashes in columbaria. Who would still buy a burial plot that costs tens of thousands of yuan? With sales stagnant, Pu Li started a livestream to sell the plots. But instead of singing and shouting sales pitches, he livestreamed feng shui readings. “Is the feng shui in your new home good? You’ve got a shaft of deadly energy running through it, threatening your fortune and longevity. The elderly person in your home won’t live much longer. Hurry and reserve a double burial plot so they can leave with dignity.” “Is the location of your ancestral grave all right? Your grandpa’s bones can’t get any sunlight and are about to go moldy. I have a sunny plot available. I’ll give it to you at a twenty percent discount. Interested?” “Do you have pet graves? We do, but your pet will probably outlive your second child’s college years. You should reserve a grave for yourself first. Your husband has been wanting you to die in an ‘accident’ for a while now.” The livestream became an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons: [Do cemetery salespeople have scripts now?] [Graves cost more than houses. The streamer should stop trying to scam people.] [The streamer’s acting is pretty good. He can say all those lines without laughing.] But before long, people were asking: Why is Mom asking me why I’m watching the stream on my knees? “The elderly person in my family passed away that very night. Thanks to the streamer for helping us arrange everything after their death. Our whole family will always be grateful to him.” “I listened to the master and moved my grandpa’s grave. That very night, he appeared in my dream and said his new place was big and spacious. He could marry a few more wives without worrying there wouldn’t be enough room!” “Wahh, I checked my husband’s dashcam footage, and he really was plotting to kill me! That bastard who married into my family has been kicked out with nothing!” Netizens: [I visited in person. The cemetery is lush with trees and has lovely scenery. It’s actually not that expensive.] [Streamer, can a longtime fan get an extra discount?] [Streamer, do you have a family package? I’ll take burial plots for three generations of my family. We should all be together!] The livestream hit it big! Besides selling burial plots and reading feng shui on livestream, Pu Li also runs a funeral home, where he helps with funerals and does makeup for the deceased. Pu Li’s everyday routine is to drive the hearse to the hospital during the day to collect bodies, then sit with needle and thread at night, sewing things up. Every now and then, he also answers questions from the ghosts hovering around him. One day, while helping a client, Pu Li got a call from home. “Wife, where’s my head?” Pu Li: “Oh, the funeral home ran out of chairs, so I brought it over to sit on for a while.” The blurb was screenshotted on 2025.12.5. Core theme: Face pain and pressure bravely, stay positive, and hold on to your dreams and beliefs. That’s another kind of brilliance in life.
