I Got a Real Fortune on My Fortune-Telling Livestream!

Gu Daosi is a young Taoist master. His elders kick him down the mountain, calling it "an opportunity to gain worldly experience."

In reality: He's finally gone! Now we can all focus on cultivating. Who could put up with that chatterbox?

In fact, aside from the old Taoists up on the mountain, most people quite like this young master who seems a little chatty.

In the "Chat and Consultation" livestream, the blackboard clearly reads: Professional fortune-telling, predicting good fortune and avoiding disaster.

A curious young fan brings him two birth dates and pays a hefty fee, asking him to calculate the couple's compatibility.

The young Taoist checks the dates and realizes something is very wrong.

This sounds like the actor he's been following on his own fan art site!

At the young fan's urging, the young Taoist, who usually speaks softly and treats everyone like a caring older brother, snaps at a fan for the first time: "That's enough, don't bother calculating. He's not compatible with you. He's a match made in heaven with me."

Fu Yuanshan is an independent actor. After filming, he likes to stay home and play video games, and he has a huge following on his livestream account.

He's always saying things like, "If you're bad at the game, practice more," and "Being bad is the only sin in esports."

Some new fans are young women who fell for his voice. They get their feelings hurt when he snaps at someone: "Streamer, learn from the other streamer. Ever heard of treating your fans well?"

The actor turns on his mic: "Listen if you want. If you don't, get lost."

One day, driven by curiosity, the actor looks up this "Chat and Consultation" livestream. He listens for a bit, then comes back grumbling: "What a fan-friendly streamer? He's just a damned fraud."

Then a livestream platform event pairs their channels for a joint stream.

"The fraud stopped swindling people and started streaming games? This should be fun." Then he forgets that his livestream challenge is a moderately scary horror game.

Actor: Fuck, I really need someone to ward off evil spirits.

So they connect for a joint stream, and the actor keeps calling the other guy "Amazing Doggy Teacher" and "Cheating Doggy Teacher."

The other guy responds with commercial flattery: "Cat Teacher, that was such a great play! Cat Teacher, you never disappoint!"

Actor: WTF

Fans who like both of them: Holy crap, I'm shipping a real couple!

*The story opens from a third-person perspective. If that bothers you, skip the prologue.

*A sweet, caring, fan-loving young Taoist master who's sweet on the outside but dark inside x a sharp-tongued, antisocial actor who snaps at his fans. Both are focused on the supernatural and their careers, and are all about making money.

*A sweet little appetizer. The entire novel is written in advance, so feel free to dive in.

Theme: You have to work hard to find your destined person.
