Dusk Is Near: Infinite Flow

[Infinite Flow] [Weak Golden Finger] [Mystery and Puzzle-Solving] [Power Couple] [Pretty Bottom] In the year 2602, China is being consumed by the infinite instances known as Ashes. Even the Chinese Bureau of Abnormal Events and Security, which protects the skies above the country, is powerless against them. After seven years in the entertainment industry, Qin Mu is on the verge of becoming a top-tier star when he gets dragged into an instance. [Warning: Instance fatality rate: 99.9%. Do everything in your power to survive.] He is breathtakingly beautiful, but there is a chance he'll end up breathtakingly dead. Everyone who enters this place receives a passive skill related to their talent. And Qin Mu's skill is... [Heartthrob (Level 1): NPC favorability +10, Boss favorability -10 [Can be upgraded]] Fine. Let's see what happens when I upgrade it. [Congratulations on upgrading! Boss favorability -20 [Attacks you on sight]] [Congratulations on upgrading! Boss favorability -100 [Deep-seated hatred]] [Congratulations on upgrading! Boss favorability -1000 [It's you or me]] [Congra...] Qin Mu: "Shut up." One more upgrade and the Boss will be digging up my ancestors' graves. All this skill gives me is stuff that can get me killed. I haven't even had a chance to enjoy the good life yet, and I refuse to sign up for this funeral. But the skill isn't completely useless. As a gorgeous beauty, he occasionally receives thoughtful gifts, such as... A dainty little broom for sweeping ashes, from the crematorium attendant; An unbelievably silky long wig that can be used as a swing, from a water ghost; Pork buns with thin skins and generous filling, handmade by a serial killer. [System 0531 reminder: Please follow your character's persona. This will help the Host survive. Excessive OOC behavior may threaten your life.] Good news: The characters are easy to play. Bad news: They're all pretty faces with no substance. If I have to act, I have to act. A job's a job, wherever you do it. ...But did I really have to start by playing the exciting role of the other man? After carefully reading the character profile, he realized things were even more exciting than that. Not only was he the other man, he was also using his boss's money to keep a whole pond of fish. The ID "Twilight" reigns supreme on the Newcomer Rankings. At the same time, people discover that "Raven," the big shot at the top of the Legend Rankings with more points than he could ever spend in a lifetime, has entered an instance again after three years. "You don't need to put yourself in danger." "The Sky Bureau needs him to join us." To win over someone this clever, they would naturally have to show their sincerity. "...So, Commander, is offering myself to him also part of your plan?" Adjutant A: "Word is the Commander and Twilight aren't actually close." Adjutant B: "They're not? Then why did I see them kissing yesterday?" "..." [Instance settings] The Fragile Canary on a Flight to Certain Death (reclaimed), The Beautiful School Belle of Nancheng High (reclaimed), The Gorgeous Streamer at Ji'an Funeral Home (reclaimed), The Exquisite Glass Doll at the Feastful Fun Park (reclaimed), The Bride-to-Be of Hongshan Ancient Town (reclaimed), The Top-Tier Star in Love (reclaimed), The Restoration Expert at the Museum (reclaimed), The Awakened One with Lost Memories (reclaimed), The Final Battle (reclaimed). I'm off to start a new novel! The extras are coming along slowly! Clever, beautiful bottom x number one on the combat rankings. Romance and plot are split 50/50. I love writing this stuff ╭(╯ε╰)╮ [The author's ramblings] P.S. Please leave lots of funny chapter comments! I read them all! Sorry, I just love reading them too much! This is my first attempt at writing an infinite-flow novel, just a writing exercise. I wanted to write a heartthrob character, but I didn't have the experience, so it turned into a 1v1 romance. Sorry if you came through the wrong door! It's fairly long, so I recommend buying it chapter by chapter. Thank you for your patience, everyone. I'm slowly getting better at writing~ P.P.S. The Gong in my stories must be handsome, not short, not weak, and not poor~ He has a bit of a background role in the first two instances. He gets more scenes later, but there still isn't much Gong. The Gong falls first, and gradually gets stronger! Absolutely committed to 1v1 HE. The main story has no romantic subplots outside the leads. Disclaimer: The golden finger isn't strong. There are ghosts, and it's mildly scary. The main focus is mystery-solving, so if it makes you think a little, that's normal. If it seems brainless, that's normal too, since I wracked my brain to make it all up... (just kidding). If you like it, read on. If you don't, click the X. The only official version is on Jinjiang; everything on other platforms is pirated. Support the official version; it's everyone's responsibility. P.P.P.S. There are cross-dressing elements. This novel contains no RN, RH, or any other such intentions. It's necessary for the plot, so please don't twist its meaning. Readers with extremely upright values or extreme shipper preferences should refrain from reading. It wasn't easy for this chef to cook such a huge pot of food. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it, but please leave me a way to make a living when you go 👀 Hope everyone is happy every day! [Coming soon] [Sweet romance] [Comedy] [Supernatural] [Playing matchmaker for ghosts] Shi Yu is said to bring misfortune to his family, carry an evil fate, and be doomed to loneliness. He lives in a haunted house. Other people grow up without a husband. Because Shi Yu's heart reaches for the sky while his life is as thin as paper, he's had a husband since childhood, supposedly a civil servant in the underworld. That is meant literally. Even so, he's only destined to live to twenty-five. A fortune-teller gave him a way out: Open a matchmaking agency. Use the energy of red wedding celebrations to dispel your bad luck, and you can break the curse! How exactly is that supposed to work? The fortune-teller didn't say! ---[Bonus scene] "You're not a good match for her. You're short, and your education wasn't good enough when you were alive. A grad student probably wouldn't look twice at you. Hey, don't hit me! Next!" "You're average-looking, tsk. Why are you in such a hurry? That's my objective assessment. But your family's grave is in a good spot, so that's a point in your favor. Next!" "You're pretty good... Huh? You're pregnant? I don't care how much you pay, I won't take this job! I can't scam people! You could try seeing Director Meng at the Naihe Hospital. They'll do it the same day, so you can get back to work! I'll send you a contact card; check your messages!" "Hello? Who is this? Oh, you're too busy working to come in? Good grief, your signal's crackling... Fine, stop calling this lousy phone. Catch my matchmaking livestream at midnight! Send me sunglasses to get in line, or a sports car to cut in!" Good news: The matchmaking agency is open. Bad news: It's not for the living. After working all night, Shi Yu aches from head to toe. "Damn it, what kind of college student does this? We're closed. Come back tomorrow, please!" One night, Shi Yu is so tired he's barely keeping the place open. "Looking for a partner? Fill out a form first..." "Shi Yu." A tall man leans against the doorway, his eyes gleaming. "I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead." The handsome man wants to stay, but Shi Yu says he's dirt poor and can't afford to support him. Dai Yue: "You can sell the bracelet I gave you." Shi Yu: "You're kidding. Could those big silver bangles sell for 800?" "They're gold-plated silver." "..." [Villain attacks Shi Yu: "You're cursed to kill your wife and children!" "...So what's wrong with me having a husband?"] [Every year on the birthday of the Great Emperor of Dongyue, Shi Yu goes to the temple to pray. One day in Heaven is a year on Earth. Dai Yue watches their child grow up, coming to see him every day. The Great Emperor of Dongyue has countless followers, all asking him for something. Only that child kneels before the statue and says to him, "I wish you peace."] Money-loving and afraid of ghosts, but willing not to be afraid if there's money in it Bottom (Shi Yu) x A doting husband beyond compare, a ghost who is really a god Gong (Dai Yue) P.S. The technologically advanced underworld is here to serve you! There are a few matchmaking livestream elements, so please believe in science! This is a writing exercise for my bottom-loving self. Readers with extreme shipper preferences, please stay away~ This is a fictional setting, written to make everyone happy, not to show disrespect to gods or Buddha. 1. Mildly supernatural but funny. Top is good-looking, whether they're a 0 or a 1; the 1 calls the 0 his wife, and the 1 loves giving his wife things while the 0 is asleep. 2. I don't think it should be scary, but I can't promise I'll dare use the bathroom when I'm writing late at night. 3.
