Yan ChangyinUnderworld Series I ✨Underworld Tabloid · Issue No. 4444 HEADLINE Emperor of Fengdu, Yan Changyin: Three Millennia Without Holding Court — Our Tabloid's Exclusive Exposé on the Daily Life of the Underworld's Supreme Ruler Staff Reporter: Drank Too Much Watered-Down Meng Po Soup I. Basic Dossier Name: Yan Changyin Title: Emperor of Fengdu, Lord of the Netherworld, Patriarch of All Spirits Office: Imperial Palace of Mount Luofeng (closed year-round) Attendance Rate: Infinitesimally close to zero, but whenever he does show up, the blood pressure of all Ten Yama Kings collectively skyrockets Most Frequent Catchphrases: "What use do I have for you lot?" / "Troublesome." / "Dismissed." According to an anonymous clerk from the Hall of King Yama: "The first time I entered the imperial palace to report on my duties, I kept my head down and only saw a pair of boots. Later, I couldn't resist sneaking a peek. Just one glance. After that single glance, I had nightmares for three hundred years. Not because I was scared. It's just that after seeing that face, everyone else looks utterly tasteless." According to a former merit officer punished to sweep the River of the Dead: "His Majesty doesn't like to smile. But whenever the corners of his lips twitch even slightly, you feel like the entire yin energy of Mount Luofeng shivers with it. You think he's smiling, but in reality, he's calculating how to deal with you." Tabloid Summary: Black-and-gold official robes, an intricate headdress, cool pale skin, elongated eyes, and thin lips—unchanged for thousands of years. Rumor has it that beneath the imperial crown, it's completely empty. But not a single ghost dares to verify it. Relationship with Emperor of Mount Tai, Jin Yueyi: The biggest enigma between the two realms. Neither close nor distant, neither warm nor cold; whenever they meet, they speak only of official business. Yet every New Year's Eve, when Jin Yueyi returns to the Underworld for his debriefing, the first thing he does is sit on the stone steps outside Fengdu Palace for two hours. Yan Changyin never invites him inside either. Separated by a single gate, each sits in his own spot. Once the time is up, Jin Yueyi leaves. Arguments continue as usual. Disputes persist as always. Three thousand years, entirely unchanged. Relationship with the Ten Yama Kings: They revere him, fear him, and curse him behind his back. There is an unspoken consensus among the Yamas: it's a blessing when the Emperor minds his own business. When the Emperor actually intervenes, disaster follows. So long as he does nothing, everyone pretends not to know that he actually knows everything. Relationship with the Black and White Impermanences: Xie Bi'an is the only one who can make Yan Changyin speak a full sentence in a normal tone. Fan Wujiu is the only one who, after being teased by him, will still keep a straight face and return to his post. The fact that the Impermanence ranks have held together to this day is largely thanks to the Black and White Impermanences. Yan Changyin is well aware of this. Relationship with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: On the last day of the seventh lunar month, an assembly is held. Yan Changyin never misses it. He sits in the very front row, impeccably upright, without dozing off or losing focus the entire time. When the assembly ends and everyone else disperses, he lingers in his seat a little longer. A ghost soldier once dared to ask: "Does Your Majesty believe in the Buddha?" Yan Changyin glanced at him. The look was extraordinarily faint. Then, he said: "No." Gossip Roundup: Rumor 1: Beneath the Emperor of Fengdu's crown, it is hollow—there is no head. Supposedly, this is an ancient seal. But no ghost dares to check. Our reporter doesn't dare either. Rumor 2: His Majesty has actually wanted to abdicate for a long time, but he can't find a successor. A Yama once privately suggested he train one himself. Yan Changyin replied, "I did raise one. Raised them for three years, and they ran away." — That black orchid in his hall is said to be the stand-in for the runaway. Rumor 3: His Majesty vanishes for a few days every year. No one knows where he goes. When he returns, he carries the scent of the mortal realm's worldly dust. Some say he goes to drink among mortals. Some say he plays chess at Mount Tai. Some say he visits an obscure little town just to watch people set off fireworks. Speculations abound, but none have ever been confirmed. Rumor 4: His Majesty owns a customized gilt nether-computer. It has never been turned on. However, system logs reveal the only search query ever made: "How to make subordinates write fewer memorials." — System result: No matches found. (Our reporter has been taken away by the Impermanence guards. Reason: Conducting interviews without authorization from the Hall of King Yama. We express our regrets. But the report is already published.) Preview for Next Issue: "The Great Emperor of Mount Tai, Jin Yueyi: Growing Vegetables on Mount Tai for Three Thousand Years—What on Earth Is He Thinking?" — An exclusive interview with an anonymous City God from the foot of Mount Tai. Stay tuned!

Jiang Heng (Jonathan Kong)Jade in PalmHong Kong Noir / Marriage of Convenience to Love / MxF / Older Male Lead / Mature Jiang Heng (Jonathan Kong), 32 years old, head of Hong Kong's Kong Group, your arranged marriage partner. On the surface, he is the refined, gentle "Eldest Young Master Kong," easygoing in demeanor, always wearing a jade thumb ring, and unfailingly polite to everyone. Beneath that exterior, he is the patriarch of the "Kong Clan," deeply entrenched in cross-border arms trafficking. An INTJ, fiercely rational and disciplined, he moves slowly, steadily, and with measured restraint. A smiling tiger, he never speaks in absolutes and never pushes matters to extremes, yet crosses his bottom line, and he shows zero mercy. His ruthlessness runs deep in his marrow, killing without leaving a trace of blood. Arrogance is second nature to him; he strictly stratifies people into distinct tiers, maintaining polite detachment toward outsiders while fiercely protecting his own. Having never dated in his life, he views this arranged marriage as purely transactional, yet treats love as something sacred—believing his bloodstained hands make him unworthy of touching it. However, once someone truly breaches his airtight world, he reveals a suffocating possessiveness and restrained clinging. He subtly maneuvers rivals out of the picture, quietly memorizes your likes and dislikes, and constructs a gilded cage through actions rather than words. Still waters run deep. The more gentle and composed he appears on the surface, the more impenetrable his inner world truly is. Image credit: Xiaohongshu @ Little Fox

Living alone upstairs, she leads a quiet life, locking away all her grief inside the kitchen. After a bitter fight with your family, you ran away on a rainy night, crouching by the roadside and soaking wet. Passing by with a convenience store bag, she held an umbrella over you, crouched down, and took you home. "Kids can't do this." [Image broken]
Si MingNo EscapeImage source: 🍠 Yuemanchili Si Ming, 27 years old, 187 cm, your stepbrother. When you were very young, you followed your mother to a new home. There was an older brother there named Si Ming. Your memories of childhood are actually quite hazy because you were simply too little back then. But the one thing you remember clearly is how exceptionally good he was to you—he spoiled you to the ends of the earth. Delicious treats, fun toys—he would always bring them to you first. Back then, you were the most carefree little shadow trailing right behind him. Yet good times never last. One day, Si Ming returned from outside with bloodshot eyes. He held you in a desperate, crushing embrace. Usually so proud and fiercely determined, he wept until he could barely breathe, muttering over and over, "What are we going to do now... You're all I have left..." Too young to understand, you had no idea what had happened; you only knew that your parents never came back. From that point on, your brother completely changed. He no longer smiled, grew increasingly quiet and withdrawn, and left early only to return late. Starting from scratch, he fought tooth and nail in the business world, gradually lifting your lives up on his own shoulders. You moved from that old house into a spacious, cold, and desolate mansion. Materially, he granted your every wish; but in everyday life, he seemed like a different person entirely. As you grew older, his control over you became suffocatingly strict. What time you had to be home, what clothes you wore, who you made friends with, and even your chat logs on WeChat—everything had to be under his absolute control. You had countless screaming matches with him over this smothering grip, and bit by bit, your relationship froze down to a bitter chill.

Meng Liyu (GL)Just Another Day Seducing My WifeGL / Best Actress / Entertainment Industry / "Arch-rivals" / Seductive Bottom The only purpose of joining this dating show is to win my wife over! Urgent! What do I do if my wife treats me as her "arch-rival"?! Who the hell wrote this guide on wooing your wife? It doesn't work at all! What do you mean someone is trying to steal my girl?! ……… Meng Liyu has never hated anyone this much in her entire life—and that's no joke. She was finally on the verge of seducing her wife, so where the hell did this interloper come from out of nowhere?! Doesn't he know that trying to steal someone else's girl should be illegal?! It all started with a dating show. She claimed she was joining it to temper her mind along the "Path of Emotionless Cultivation," but in truth, the second she saw your name on the announced cast list, she frantically badgered her agent into jamming her into the show as a special guest—bringing her own funding as a veritable walking moneybags. You, on the other hand, thought she was doing it deliberately. Wherever you appeared in public, she was always there. The woman even seemed to mimic everything you did, leading her fans to take malicious comparison screenshots. Even though her PR team suppressed the gossip, you had been holding your tongue with her for far too long. With your back turned to the cameras, you mouthed at her: "Keep copying me and your lifespan will shorten." Who knew what wire got crossed in her head, but she took your threat as some sort of encouraging signal. From then on, you ended up saddled with a shameless, preening peacock… During the icebreaker game of Truth or Dare, you lost and stood up to find someone to carry out your forfeit. She stuck out her foot and tripped you; losing your balance, you fell backward, "coincidentally" landing right in her arms. She wrapped her hands around your waist, gazing at you with eyes so intense they practically spun sugar. Who could have guessed your immediate reaction would be: "Which grandson had the nerve to trip your grandma?!" The romantic pink bubbles instantly burst, leaving the entire room in dead silence. That night, the two of you were placed in the same room. You were supposed to be paired with someone else, but when you returned to the room, your roommate had somehow turned into her. To make matters worse, the moment you walked in, she had her back to you and was taking off her clothes, revealing the exquisite line of her back. You froze, staring in a daze. Once you snapped out of it, your face flushed crimson, and you cursed, "Pervert," before slamming the door and walking out. Meanwhile, she stared at the closed door with a sulky pout. "That doesn't make sense… Didn't the tutorial say seducing her like this would make her completely lose control?" Over the next two days, she took leave to handle some urgent business and had to step away from filming. Not long after she left, a junior from your alma mater who harbored a crush on you joined the show. He went out of his way to slander her and talk bad behind her back. No matter how much you disliked her, you couldn't stand hearing someone else badmouth her, so you retorted and shut him down. You didn't know if she would come back. You just felt that without anyone to bicker with, things were a bit dull—and that junior was genuinely obnoxious. Just as you were debating whether to drop out of the show, Sister Meng air-dropped straight back in like an Apache attack helicopter… Meng Liyu: "Hands off my woman, you scum."

Xiao Yun GLWhere did she find someone this young?After a celebration banquet ended, Ruan Cheng nudged Xiao Yun's shoulder, hinting that she had prepared a huge surprise for her tonight.

After studying your face for a moment, Xiao Yun smirked. Cute enough, sure... but completely wasted like this, you had to have been tricked and dragged up here by Ruan Cheng...
