After the Metaphysics Master Becomes the Most Hated Guest on a Travel Variety Show

[Coming soon: My Husband Is Still Hard to Kill Today]

Synopsis:

Yun Huaijing, a Celestial Master from the mystic arts world, suddenly transmigrates into the body of an unpopular, universally disliked celebrity. His agency threatens him with a breach-of-contract fee and forces him to join a supernatural travel reality show where every contestant is a scene-stealer.

Yun Huaijing goes, thinking of it as a company-funded vacation.

At first, viewers open his livestream and spam comments like “Has-been, stop riding the show's coattails” and “Must be an industry darling.”

But the more they watch, the more something seems off...

During a fishing challenge, the scene-stealing guests yank each other's hair over a tiny shrimp, while he calmly sips tea and enjoys the view.

The camera cuts to the sea. Fish are lining up and leaping eagerly into the basket that's already overflowing.

During an outdoor challenge, everyone gets trapped in a forest of zombie hands. The hands open and close in a regular rhythm, like eerie man-eating flowers.

Yun Huaijing casually pulls a pair of hands out of his shoulders. “Fully automatic shoulder and neck massage. Just the right pressure.”

During a popularity challenge, the guests pull out all the stops, busking on the street for tips.

An expired idol makes pancakes, a romance-show star sings and dances on the spot, and an unknown movie star freestyles... but none of them get anywhere.

Viewers: That's it?

With their popularity at the bottom, Yun Huaijing starts livestreaming calls with viewers.

One moment:

Viewers: What's so interesting about calls? Boring.

The next:

Viewers: Wait, you're saying he's calling the King of Hell, and the King of Hell is doing a social dance with Ox-Head and Horse-Face?

First Sadako climbs through a drain, then a zombie pedals a bicycle to generate electricity...

With one outrageous stunt after another, Yun Huaijing enjoys a company-funded vacation and turns the supernatural travel show into his own backyard.

Every ghost within ten li hears his name and moves house overnight, hauling its own memorial tablet along.

The guests go from isolating and looking down on him to offering him houses, cars, and resources just to get an empty spot under Yun Huaijing's bed.

Yun Huaijing's popularity skyrockets into the top tier, and awards and resources pour in.

Just as Yun Huaijing thinks he can relax and finish filming the vacation show, more and more of his personal belongings mysteriously disappear...

Then something even more outrageous happens:

While he's bathing, a damp, sinister hand suddenly appears in the bathtub and strokes his waist.

When he looks in the mirror, a head emerges from the glass and tries to kiss him.

When he lies in bed, something warm licks his fingers from beside the mattress...

He finally manages to fall asleep, only for a cold shadow to coil around him like a snake as a husky, low murmur sounds in his ear:

“Huaijing, I miss you so much.”

Yun Huaijing: ?

My Husband Is Still Hard to Kill Today

Wu Mu is Huaguo's strongest assassin. To kill Yin Wang, an SSS-rank monster, he pretends to be a blind date and marries him as an undercover agent.

But his identity is exposed on their wedding night. To his surprise, Yin Wang doesn't kill him. Instead, he treats him even better than before.

He gives Wu Mu all his property, smiles as he serves him like an emperor, and never complains.

His one and only demand is that they don't get divorced.

Wu Mu: Then I'll just have to make myself a widower.

So Wu Mu launches his “Widow Plan.” Every day, he carefully prepares a death gift at home for his newlywed husband, including but not limited to:

[The Guillotine Door]

The moment the door opens, a Louis XVI experience device drops into place. Wu Mu listens with satisfaction as a head and an orange roll across the floor together.

But the next moment, he sees Yin Wang holding half an arm and smiling warmly at him.

“Wifey, how did you know I hated that head on my arm? It was so ugly!”

Wu Mu: .

[The Big Bed, Rebuilt as an Iron Maiden]

Wu Mu looks down at his sleeping husband and presses the switch. Countless iron spikes shoot out of the mattress, piercing Yin Wang until he's riddled with holes.

Wu Mu sighs. Surely he'll die this time.

But then his husband, now full of holes like a sieve, slowly gets up and smiles with his ruined face.

“Thanks for the acupuncture, Wifey. I feel so refreshed now. What do you want for dinner? Sweet-and-sour ribs?”

Can't kill him! There's simply no way to kill him!

Wu Mu's career as an assassin hits a serious roadblock. He tries every method he can think of, but the other man just drags his battered, bloody body off to cook him dinner with a gentle smile.

Admitting defeat, he takes out the divorce papers. “Let's get divorced.”

But as soon as the words leave his mouth, his usually gentle husband goes cold, his gaze suddenly full of menace and pressure.

In an instant, countless tentacles wrap around Wu Mu from behind and bind him tightly. A cold, powerful hand grips his chin, and dangerous breath brushes his ear.

“Make that joke again, and I'll cut out your tongue~”

----Furry story by a friend----

Check out my friend's story: My Fierce Tiger, Why Does He Call You Kitty? by Yuehua Zhishang

Yun Yan has recently become obsessed with a cat-raising game.

Looking at the little white kitten that had just hatched, Yun Yan remembers that white cats are low in status in the cat world. He buys an expensive plant-based dye and turns the kitten into a calico.

Yun Yan: I'm so happy. Now my baby won't get bullied.

One day, Yun Yan travels by time machine to the ancient world to collect plants and animals that have gone extinct in the future. There, he sees a huge leopard.

The leopard's left ear is dyed red, its right ear green, and it wears a blue princess dress covered in colorful rhinestones.

Yun (peeping at the leopard) Yan: How strange.

Yun Yan glances at his phone's wallpaper and swallows stiffly. Haha, why does this leopard look exactly like his kitten? What a coincidence.

Snow leopard Feng Jianqing is the young clan leader of the Fengdi Tribe. His tribe has worshipped a god for years, but after three years of severe drought without a sign of divine intervention, Feng Jianqing decides to turn against the god and rely on himself instead.

But one day, the god suddenly sends down rain and gives them plenty of food. The leopard pauses the rebellion plan. After all, the god has given them a lot.

The price is that the leopard has to wear lots of strange clothes, but for the sake of the food, he puts up with it.

Then one day, the leopard sees what the god really looks like. He still decides to rebel against the god.

Just in a different way.
