"A shady reporter and his clingy cameraman"
Zhou Qie was a shady reporter and a relentless workaholic who'd stop at nothing for a big scoop.
One day, a black hole appeared and swallowed people into another world...
Zhou Qie's eyes lit up. He could hardly wait.
He'd landed an exclusive on the other world!
Guided by the principles of getting right in people's faces, having no shame, and setting traps, Reporter Zhou delivered sensational news from the other world. Amid the love and loathing of the masses, he became a beacon of hope for humanity.
His hit stories included:
"Rich Family's 'Layoffs' Harsher Than Those of a Heartless Corporation: Eldest Son Takes the Entire Fortune, Exiles Younger Brother to Another World."
"Ming Dynasty Guy Gets Choked by Demon King in Another World. Last Words Glitch Out: 'You... this... evil... you damn bastard!!!' Demon King Laughs Until His Hands Go Limp, Saving His Own Life."
"Exclusive Interview with a Big Shot Turns into a Blind Date? Curly-Haired Thief Sexually Harasses Him While the Reporter Glares and He Keeps Grinning."
"Earth's Property Market About to Crash? Inhabitable Dimension Found in Another World. Free Mountain Homes and Ocean Views for Everyone, Real Estate Agents Weep in the Bathroom!"
After reading the gossip, people around the world were completely disillusioned with the other world.
Wait, hold on. What's that last story?
Orz, Reporter Zhou, you're my god!
But... those who mock others will eventually be mocked themselves.
"'Beacon of Hope for Humanity' Goes Missing Again! Not for a News Story, but for a Heartless Lover. Internet Stunned: Is This a Real-Life 'Obsessive Search for a Husband'?!"
"Biggest Obstacle in Finding His Husband: Boyfriend's Terrible Photography! 'Beacon of Hope for Humanity' Takes a Blurry Photo of a Back and Asks Everyone in the Other World: Have You Seen This Gay Bastard?"
Zhou Qie twitched his lips and declined to comment...
Little bonus scene:
After Zhou Qie's secret identity was exposed, Wen Anbu wrapped his arms around the utterly lifeless Zhou Qie, holding him close with both their legs entwined. At first glance, they looked quietly happy.
Someone asked, "What do you even like about Zhou Qie? He's..." All the insulting words crowded in his throat, each keeping the others from getting out.
Wen Anbu said, "I like having him in my mouth most of all." Every part of him belongs to me.
Huh?
Everyone was stunned. They never expected Wen Anbu to be the one on the bottom! They looked at Zhou Qie with newfound respect. He could actually top Wen Anbu, who was six foot five!
But Zhou Qie alone remained as dead inside as ever.
They didn't understand.
Wen Anbu meant exactly what he said, literally.
Having him in his mouth, using his mouth, his whole body...
