★My next novel, After Making a Marriage Pact with a Thousand-Year-Old Jiangshi, is currently updating!
Jiang Xiangyang is a washed-up paranormal livestreamer. Just as he's become so broke he might have to sleep under a bridge and live on the wind, a big spender suddenly appears.
The moment the big spender enters the livestream, he says nothing and starts throwing money around, boosting Jiang Xiangyang all the way to number one in the city!
His viewership surges. Jiang Xiangyang is overjoyed, then suddenly panics: Why is this stranger so generous as soon as he enters my livestream? What does he want?! He hears some streamers have deals with their top supporters... But he's not that kind of person, ahhh!
Just then, a comment from the big spender appears.
Jiang Xiangyang looks nervously, then breaks into a smile.
Whew! It's only a request to choose a place for an exploration... This big spender is a great guy!
Jiang Xiangyang immediately follows his every instruction, determined to explore (make up) the most heart-pounding, emotionally thrilling ghost stories about the place
He's just about to pull the same old tricks and put on another fake haunting when...
Suddenly.
A girl with twisted features and pitch-black eye sockets is crouched on the railing in a bizarre pose, staring at him without blinking...
Jiang Xiangyang: ...
Jiang Xiangyang: ??!!!
Jiang Xiangyang turns and runs! Just as all hope seems lost, a masked man in black suddenly appears from nowhere and saves him!
The man is tall and long-legged, dressed in black and masked. He grabs a calligraphy brush and pokes each monster once, silencing it. The ghosts scatter at the sight of him. He's clearly a professional.
Watching his straight, upright back, Jiang Xiangyang shouts from the bottom of his heart, “Big bro!” and bolts.
Only when he reaches safety does he realize his livestream has been shut down, but his private messages have exploded, and his username is rapidly climbing the local trending list!
One night, a small livestream channel in Q City suddenly gets ten thousand yuan thrown at it, sending it straight to number one.
The viewers click in and see a cheerful, sunny streamer telling ghost stories inside a gloomy old Qing dynasty residence.
No NPCs, no special effects, no camera work... That's it? He's just telling a story?
[Isn't this Jiang? He's not dead yet?]
[Who?]
[He got famous in college by making stuff up. Can't believe he's still doing the same old thing after all these years.]
[This is boring. I'm out.]
Just as the number of viewers is plummeting, a long-tongued female ghost wearing a large Qing headdress and bowl-bottom shoes suddenly appears behind the streamer. In the shaky footage, they can vaguely make out a ridiculously handsome figure holding a brush and drawing a formation.
Viewers: !!!
Holy crap, this doesn't look staged!
As the viewer count skyrockets, the streamer's taken away by the moderators, leaving the screen pitch-black.
Viewers: Streamer, say something!
The viewers wait eagerly, and at last Jiang goes live again. It starts with the same familiar little story, followed by another sudden paranormal event and another handsome masked man swooping in to save the day.
This time, though, the livestream has a terrifying number of viewers, including many fans of immersive roleplay. Their usernames range from [Heartbroken Lover of the City of the Wrongfully Dead] to [AAA Meng Po's Soup, Wholesale and Retail]. They all speak as if they know what they're talking about, and it seems pretty fun, so the viewers quickly get into it.
As the chat scrolls past with comments like “Don't be scared, streamer! The seventh day after death is our fan meet-and-greet,” Jiang Xiangyang is the only one drenched in sweat. The thing chasing him really is real!
Stop scaring me like this! You'll never see me on my seventh day after death!!
After several livestreams following the top supporter's instructions, each one full of real supernatural encounters, Jiang Xiangyang decides to quit and turn over a new leaf. Just as he's messaging the top supporter to apologize, his new roommate knocks on the door.
Shi Buhui: “Why are you scared? I'll protect you.”
Jiang Xiangyang: ...
Jiang Xiangyang: Huh?
-
His new roommate, who is refined and otherworldly, looks like a bodhisattva, and has an imposing aura, turns out to be not only the wealthy, silent top supporter but also the masked hunk who always shows up at the scene, as well as a civil servant currently employed by the Underworld!
Shi Buhui confesses that the livestream has not only ordinary viewers who are clueless and having fun, but also one hundred thousand Yin soldiers he's summoned to make up the numbers.
Shi Buhui wants to catch criminals in the act and boost his performance record. All the wandering ghosts and spirits out there are to be registered! Looking at his suddenly bulging wallet, Jiang Xiangyang continues streaming through his tears!
But...
As he streams, Jiang Xiangyang can't help looking at Shi Buhui's face, waist, and hands.
Even if we put everything else aside, he picked me out of all these people. Is it possible that he has a crush on me?

1. The gong is our Mr. Jiang! He's a big golden retriever, but a golden retriever gong is still a gong, so don't get the pairing wrong!
2. One-on-one, both have no past relationships, they dote on each other, younger gong, no past lives or reincarnation.
3. Paranormal and occult themes are the focus. It's probably a little scary (?) Maybe it counts? It might not actually be scary to read...
4. The characters aren't based on real people. The livestream platform, occult knowledge, spells, place names, and everything else are fictional. Please keep that in mind. Everything serves the story and is artistically embellished, so don't imitate any of it!!! (Important!)
5. If you like it, please add it to your reading list!!!

Theme: Make money the right way.
Let's have fun, let's have fun, don't make fun of your wife
Oh my god!!! Jiang Zi is so handsome to me. He is so handsome all of a sudden. I am not used to it. [Let me be healthy]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuu. Uuuuuuu. Show me what the underworld looks like. Jiang Jiang is getting up. Please save my wife! It's written on your face [Spread flowers]
Well, now that I see it, I feel like the young lovers are really good when they are together, but some of the plots where parents and friends are involved are a bit awkward. [Tuck your cheek] [Tuck your cheek] For example, although Yun and Lin and others look good, they haven't known Jiang Zi for a long time. They have a bit of a close relationship. In real life, if you dare to get involved in people's emotional decisions without knowing each other for a long time, it's not that there is none, but it's still a bit rare? Jiang Zi really listens to what he says, hahaha [crying with laughter] Although the cuteness of him is also here in the previous article, but do these people understand Lao Shi as well as he does? After hearing these people's words, he immediately felt that this was the case and hid from people quickly. It really felt that it was not impossible but not a bit too quick. He looked cute but was attracted by others. The feeling of a child with a candy cane 😂 😂 😂 It hurts but it doesn't stop the teeth from itching (of course it's not that we Jiangzi are little fools who won't think about these things, but the child is thinking in his heart whether his mother doesn't love me and being told by a classmate that your mother doesn't love you and quickly believing it are two different things [Glasses] [Glasses]
Ouch, so it turns out that Xiao Jiang's life is very good, but he was half an hour late, so he couldn't catch up with his family for the last time, and he will always miss it.
Although it's a bit delicious, Xiaoyun, you're holding me back.
Congratulations on the completion!! I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to read it. Ah, are there any extra chapters in the future? The teacher really likes this couple. I'll wait for the teacher's new article~
Is it over? I'm doing a sideshow 🥺
Finished spreading flowers! [Spread flowers] Looking forward to the extra episode!
Oh, kiss, kiss, just give me a gift
