My Taoist Temple Went Bankrupt, but My Mysticism Went Viral

Coming Soon: Opening a Hotel in the Haunted Apocalypse. Please add it to your favorites, lovely readers!

Jiang Yu was a Taoist priest who had run his family temple into bankruptcy. After inheriting the guesthouse his master left him, he joined a variety show.

He thought it would be a change of career, but one performer after another turned out to be connected to his old line of work.

A gifted composer suddenly ran out of inspiration and became mentally scattered after releasing a hit song.

Jiang Yu: "See your last collaborator? The one who looks so innocent and pure? He put a nightmare curse on you."

A gentle, well-mannered veteran actor appeared on the show and cheerfully complained that animals didn't like him.

Jiang Yu: "You abuse cats and dogs and kill protected wildlife. You're really asking for a prison sentence, aren't you?"

There was even a couple who seemed loving and respectable in public. When they appeared on the show, their daughter was always crying, her expression vacant.

Jiang Yu: "You traded your daughter's fate to someone else for money and influence. How can people like you call yourselves parents?"

I thought fortune-telling under a pedestrian bridge was playing it safe. Turns out ghosts and people who look like ghosts are all right here!

Our Time is a laid-back lifestyle show that has stayed popular for two consecutive seasons.

As soon as the new season's regular cast was announced, the show shot to the top of the trending charts. But a large portion of the comments were angry.

[Seriously? This is one of the country's biggest variety shows, and you're making some unknown nobody a regular? Not even pretending anymore, huh? You're pushing your favorite royal?]

But after a few episodes aired...

[Whose dirty secrets are we exposing today? Let's see which unlucky sucker has come to give our beauty another win.]

Jiang Yu, who inexplicably became famous and was swamped with orders: It's not that I want to be a corporate drone. It's just that people are paying way too much.

#A Horror-Movie Actor Who Believes in Materialism Meets a Supernatural Scandal-Exposing Variety Show

Ever since Xu Huaizhou was announced as a regular on the show, the topic had stayed high on the trending charts for an entire day.

[Our Xu-ge may only act in horror movies, but he really doesn't believe in superstition!]

[Is the production team trying to turn this show into a supernatural program? They've picked the wrong person for that.]

Jiang Yu thought so at first, too. He made a point of never bringing up anything supernatural in front of Xu Huaizhou.

Until one day, when someone from the Taoist Association came to see him and blurted out in front of Xu Huaizhou,

"Your Majesty, the Ghost King, what are you doing here...?"

The man calmly accepted the title. Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and pinched his handsome cheek.

"The Ghost King believes in science now?"

"Science is where the supernatural arts lead, Ghost King Madam."

1. A brainless, feel-good sweet story. Plot over romance.

2. The supernatural elements are mostly invented. Don't take any of the related knowledge seriously! The logic may fall apart, so I'm apologizing in advance.

3. The entertainment industry is fictional, with no real-world inspiration! Please don't draw comparisons.

Opening a Hotel in the Haunted Apocalypse

Lin Qingyi inherited his family's haunted-themed hotel, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

His parents had spent a fortune creating this trendy internet-famous attraction on a whim. It didn't last even half a year before the crowds disappeared, and business became so bad he couldn't even afford the maintenance costs.

The day before he planned to file for bankruptcy, Lin Qingyi and the hotel were transported to a world overrun by supernatural horrors.

He also got a cheap System.

[Congratulations, Host! You are now bound to the Business Management System. Please work hard to increase your hotel's revenue and grow your business!]

But people in this world struggled to survive every day at the hands of the supernatural. Their lives were like a horror movie. Who would pay to get scared at a haunted-themed hotel?

Could he still declare bankruptcy now?

A new topic had recently started spreading among the supernatural beings: a hotel had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the city.

Not only was it protected by a powerful barrier, its interior had the unmistakable taste of the supernatural.

They all wondered which bigshot had entered the hotel business. But when they went inside, they discovered the owner was a human who looked fair, pretty, and delicious...

No, this had to be an illusion.

Look at the pillow that gives off a strange fragrance. Just getting close to it makes you lose focus and your ability to fight.

And the carpet on the floor gives off heat. Maybe it bursts into flames at night and attacks people.

Not to mention the dinner, which boosts your energy with just one bite. The owner must have killed countless high-level monsters to make food with such powerful restorative effects!

Truly unfathomable! Don't trust him!

Lin Qingyi: I keep telling you these are just the System's good-sleep pillows, temperature-regulating carpets, and nourishing dinners. Would you believe that I'm human?

All the supernatural beings: Believe you? In your dreams!

Lin Qingyi, manager of the hotel, had been exhausted lately.

Not only did he have to work hard to increase revenue and maintain the hard-won love and peace between humans and the supernatural, he also had to deal with one particularly troublesome supernatural being.

"Xie Shuyan, I'm warning you. If you suddenly show up beside the dining table and scare all my guests away again, you're banned from the hotel for three days!"

Lin Qingyi pointed indignantly at the shadow moving across the wall, making it clear he meant what he said.

The shadow slowly spread off the wall and into the real world. Xie Shuyan fixed his dark gray eyes on the human glaring at him, while his shadow curled around the man's leg.

"Then let's try it outside."
