I Went Viral on a Paranormal Reality Show

After graduation, He Ye inherited his family's nearly bankrupt paper offering shop. During the day, business in the shop was bleak, with barely any living customers. At night, however, the street outside bustled as all kinds of sinister entities came and went in an endless stream. *** To make ends meet, He Ye began livestreaming on a popular platform. At first, his viewer count could be counted on one hand—until he performed a divination for one viewer and saved their life. Suddenly, his stream was flooded with viewers, each begging for a reading. *** As He Ye's fame grew, a well-known supernatural investigation show extended him an invitation. Initially, he refused—until he learned the appearance fee was nearly a million per episode. Without hesitation, he accepted. Most of the guests on the show were big names in the metaphysical world, and they dismissed He Ye as an inexperienced rookie. Even the first episode's comments were ruthless: ["Ugh, which company pushed this fresh-faced idol in here? He’s obviously just eye candy using a horror show as a career stepping stone. His manager must be brain-dead."] ["Skip! Skip! Don't waste screen time on useless pretty boys. I’m here to watch the masters!"] ["Here it comes! The glorious moment when He Handsome’s gonna crash and burn!"] Yet, in later episodes: After presenting their theories, the masters would instinctively steal a glance at He Ye, only relaxing when his expression remained unchanged. The comments did a complete 180: ["My boyfriend is SO impressive! I take back everything I said before!"] ["Props to the production team for bringing so many legends (especially my hubby)."] ["Damn, these paper effigies look insanely real—each has unique facial features! The special effects deserve an award."] ["...Kinda cute. Need one."] ["FYI: NOT special effects! Our He Ye draws ALL these paper effigies himself! Drop by his stream (ID: xxxxxx) if you're curious!"] ["Hey, anyone else think He Ye and his assistant have insane chemistry?"] ["Hehehe, finally someone noticed! Join me in shipping them~"] ["I’m OBSESSED!"] ["Assistant is sooooo in love (crying into hands)."] By the show's end, He Ye hadn’t just earned a hefty paycheck—he also became a leading figure in the metaphysical world… and somehow ended up with a *husband*. *** Mu Xijing, a deity worshipped by the occultists of Xuanchun Temple. A calamity once took the life of the person he cherished most. For over thirty years, Mu Xijing searched for their reincarnation—to no avail. Until recently, the owner of a paper effigy shop caught his attention. To confirm if this man was his lost love, Mu Xijing kept approaching him, testing him… until he finally saw the unique birthmark on the young man’s lower back. *He* had returned at last. *** One day, a job posting appeared at the effigy shop’s door—Mu Xijing showed up to apply. Mu Xijing: "Boss He, I’m here for the job." He Ye gave him a skeptical side-eye, silently rejecting him. Mu Xijing pressed on: "I can greet customers, manage accounts, clean, cook, give massages, catch ghosts… and I’m willing to learn anything else." He Ye remained silent. Mu Xijing: "I don’t need a salary." He Ye: "...Congratulations. You’re hired." Emotionally detached, cold-tempered shou × Obsessive, clingy, loyal gong
