Some people can learn in a day what takes others ten years of hard work. Xie Lingya is like this–other people have to cleanse themselves and meditate to draw talismans, but he can do it as easy as drinking a glass of water.

An Rugu just graduated from university and returned to her small, mountain village to inherit a rundown Daoist temple.... more>>

The Daoist temple is simple and solemn, but there are no visitors, and there is no money for incense.

She heard that doing livestreams can earn money, so she decided to give it a try.

But her livestream isn’t singing and dancing—she tells fortunes.

——————

A divination livestream appeared on the Shark streaming platform, and the netizens who saw it dismissed it at first.

[It’s 2021, and there are still people who practice feudal superstition.]

[Look at you, you scam artist.]

But soon enough, the comments changed completely.

[Ah, master, you said my head was a little green, and my boyfriend who has been with me for ten years really cheated on me!]

[Master, you said that I was facing a bloody disaster. Thank you, master, for saving my life.]

After becoming popular, An Rugu somehow took over the task of promoting the Netherworld and became its spokesperson to the living.

Livestream divination to the living during the day—live attraction for ghosts at night.

[My grandpa came to me in a dream and told me to burn more paper money, so he can reward the streamer with dream money. Damn, the Netherworld really exists?!”]

[F*ck! The thief cried and returned the money to me after seeing the appearance of Hell in the livestream. He said he doesn’t want to go to Hell in the future.]
—————

Slice of life—except that An Rugu’s daily life consists of livestream divinations, conversing with denizens of the Netherworld, and running a halfway home for ghosts who don’t want to reincarnate yet.

Oh, and she also manages a small Daoist temple atop a pretty mountain with a magnificent view of the sky, rising through the clouds. <<less

The third year spiritual energy was revived, humanity got swept into a real-life game of oddities, 《Folklore》.
The game randomly extracted from strange stories for its quests: If won, the quest's boss would turn into a guardian deity, holding back all sorts of evils; If failed, the oddities would completely revive, and the area implicated in the quest would completely fall to enemy occupation! ... more>>

As it had impact,
The players participating in the quest and the stream audience hated idiots who were burdens the most.

Unfortunately, when a disaster-level quest got unlocked, matched into the quest, was this,
Silver-grey long-haired, pessimistic, sickly, when others fought he slept, when others ran he showered
No matter how much more good-looking they were, it could not conceal that "I don't want to live, everyone die with me" kind of anti-social air

When his data was pulled up:
24k pure newbie.

Everyone's eyes went dark, GDI, this isn't even enough for a bite for the boss!

Yet no one knew, Wei E once was drawn into a different, much higher-dimension UF world
Over there, there would be a small quest every three days, and one big quest every five. Each quest would be stifled with a manic hopelessness, driving people to their deaths. No player was able to hang on for three years, and Wei E was the first who had a chance to live past three years—— after he bombed the Creator.

When the Creator's space was collapsing
Wei E reminisced these three years of endless fighting for his life, and strongly vowed: If there was a next life, he would definitely not get mixed in it again!

Once Wei E opened his eyes, he returned to the familiar blue planet
But before he could get excited, he discovered…… the Creator followed him out too : )
----

That day the hunting grounds got destroyed, the Creator vowed there would be one day he would kill that insolent ant
When Wei E occasionally brushed his teeth and looked up, he could see the mirror written with: "After one hundred days, I will definitely kill you."

By the fiftieth day [left], a player confessed to Wei E.
By the thirtieth day, Wei E made it to first place in 《Folklore's》most charming guy.
By the tenth day, the quest boss threw themselves on him.
By the fifth day, third day, each day, there would be people on the forums calling themselves Wei E's dog.

On the final day, the Creator really grabbed Wei E's throat, with his voice dark and frenzied: "I said, I would kill you sooner or later."

However, seeing Wei E's wearily curled lips, He thought, I perhaps should change the method.
For example, beneath his body.
————

When Wei E solved the first disaster-level quest, there were still people who felt it was a mere coincidence.
But when each and every one of the disaster-level continuously got cracked, life got brought back from death, they then shockingly discovered, that was not a coincidence, but hope that would make even spent clay revivify.

And in this absurd, despairing world, he was the walking——
#1 boss! <<less

Liu Yu woke up and discovered that she had transmigrated into the novel she read before she went to sleep.... more>>

She became the vicious stepsister of Cinderella, the protagonist. Early this morning, she had let her cat bite her sister’s Eurasian collared dove. At night, she had ordered someone to gouge out the eyes of a helpless young man. The young man turned out to be the reincarnation of the God of Light!

Her future was bleak, her blood will be s**ked dry, and then she will be hung. Liu Yu weighed her options:

1. The Duke of Dark Night was already smitten by the beautiful and kind Cinderella.

2. Prince Carlos has been searching all over the world for the owner of the crystal shoe. She should give up on him.

3. Only the God of Light had yet to fall for her younger sister’s charms.

Liu Yu looked at the young man who just had his eyes gouged out because of the original owner of the body. He had lost his memory and was currently in a dire strait. Liu Yu used a high-pitched voice and said, “My God! How could someone do something so vicious to you?”

The helpless young man: “Are you the one who saved me?”

“Yes.”

Young Gaia:

When I fell in love with her, I truly thought she was the kindest, gentlest, and purest girl in the world.

The God of Light, Gaia:

I have never seen a woman in this world that could be more vicious, more hypocritical, and more absurd than Bellia. She could tell me that she loves me while she dug my eyes out. I wanted to kill her but couldn’t do it in the end.

This is a love story that begins with deception, and then love, followed by the woman chasing the man, and then the man chasing after his wife. <<less

“It is surely fate!” the self-proclaimed urban legend says dreamily.
