The whole underworld follows me through the entertainment industry

Synopsis

Shi Mu has spent years as a mediocre actor with a deep-seated fear of the dark and the undead. His fortunes shift when he takes a role in a supernatural production, though he remains blissfully unaware that the special effects and method acting he admires are actually genuine spirits. These entities are under the command of Shen Fan, the ruler of the underworld, whose long-standing affection for the man manifests as a coordinated effort to boost his career. From manipulating digital charts to filling supporting roles in historical and fantasy films, the ghostly workforce ensures Shi Mu's ascent to stardom. The writing maintains a light, whimsical tone, escalating from simple career boosts to absurdly detailed supernatural interventions. Those seeking a cozy, low-stress experience where the conflict is minimal and the humor derives from cosmic misunderstandings will find this rewarding, while those craving high stakes or genuine horror will find the atmosphere far too sugary.
