My Character Hasn't Cracked!!

Xie Sheng is a famous streamer on a certain site, known for screaming his way through horror games. He's bad at them but can't stop playing, and gets scared by female ghosts jumping out at him every day.

His terrified expressions are so vivid they could fill a comic strip, but as soon as the camera is off, his face goes completely blank.

Afraid? He's faking it.

Terrified? It's an act.

How else is he supposed to make it online without a few tricks?

It's all just data written by people. What's there to be scared of?

Then one day, an invitation appears in his inbox. A production team is inviting him to be a regular cast member on a major live-action horror escape-room variety show.

Pretending online isn't enough? They want him to act in person too? Isn't that exhausting?

One look at the pay...

Damn...

Maybe he can manage a little acting after all.

Sheng Yuji is a famously icy star in the entertainment industry. He's so upright that it's almost wicked. He once advised his fans, "We've never even met, so calling me your husband isn't appropriate. If you have to call me something, you can call me comrade." There's proof to back it up.

In reality, he just has no expression because he's a total airhead. He's always half a beat slow to react and has an extraordinary ability to take things in stride.

He's also terrified of the dark and of ghosts. When he's home alone, he doesn't even dare turn off the lights.

Later, his manager drags him onto a horror escape-room show. The moment someone says, "Mr. Sheng looks so reliable. Why don't you go first?" he's shoved into the role of the team's tank.

A pitch-black tunnel. Lights suddenly flickering on. A ghostly face pressing close.

The other guests behind him are already performing a symphony of screams, but Sheng Yuji stands as firm as a rock.

The young streamer who screamed loudest edges closer, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Sheng, aren't you scared at all? That's amazing. I'll just stick with you."

"..."

What?

What do you mean, scared?

What do you mean, amazing?

What was that thing that just pressed against me and then left?

Who knows?

Some people look like they're still alive.

But in reality, they're already dead and waiting for the seventh-day ritual.
