What I've been reading
Apr. 19th, 2026 01:22 pmSame old. Still stuck in the danmei universe.
Currently reading After Getting A Job in the Nether World, I Became Famous (兼职无常后我红了) by Marshmallow Bunny (拉棉花糖的兔子). It's a showbiz cross supernatural comedy with an emphasis on Chinese folklore and folk traditions. The story revolves around a bit player actor who is roped into becoming a living Impermanence (生无常), a living person-turned underworld officer tasked with bringing the dead to the underworld. The problem? He's scared of ghosts. He's also a good actor who can put on a poker face while ghosts and other supernatural beings pull on their best and decidedly non-human game face to scare the living daylight out of say MC. This one is hilarious, particularly the part about the MC honing his acting skill through ghosts and supernatural beings he runs into. It makes sense in context.
