I’m Actually a Bigshot

In the theater, His Highness Si Shen was contemplating.

 

Perhaps he should hide while his own betrothed was still confused.

 

But what if Su Qingxing’s power lost its suppression and the world this builder had constructed accidentally collapsed?

 

And on the studio screen, the story of the art classroom wasn’t over yet either.
As the bald-headed Bai Hua and the crooked-eyed and mouthless Du Wei sat with their faces covered, another clear female voice rang out in the classroom.

 

The voice was more like a death knell for Bai Hua and Du Wei.

 

“Teacher, can I put a hat on you, it will fit.” The ordinary-looking girl stuck her head out from behind the easel, and then a broad-brimmed hat with a lace bow appeared on Du Wei’s head.

 

It was a green hat1, too.

 

The edge of the hat was pressed right over Du Wei’s misshapen eye, and everyone could see the look of pain on his face, but none of them helped.

 

After all, Bai Hua could not protect himself, while Mu Rong and Qin Guan could not wait to stab Du Wei directly in the face.

 

“How pretty!” There was a chorus of agreement in the art classroom about the green hat on Du Wei’s head.

 

Then someone else said, “That little brother over there is so good looking, do you think he’d look good in women’s clothes?”

 

“Let’s try it on!”

 

“Try it on!”

 

“Women’s clothes are all the rage now! Hee hee hee!” There were many, many approving voices in the classroom.

 

“Shut up, all of you!” Bai Hua immediately spoke out to stop it.

 

The white shirt and jeans he had been dressed in disappeared, leaving only a white dress on his body.

 

“Hee hee hee, it’s really good for someone as pretty as little brother to wear white clothes.” The girl who changed the dress for Bai Hua seemed to be very satisfied with her work.

 

“Do you guys know who I am?!” Whenever Bai Hua started to emphasize his identity, it meant that he couldn’t hold back any longer.
“I’m the one chosen by the God of Death!”

 

“Oh my God, I’m scared.” The girls’ voices followed, but it sounded like a perfunctory response to Bai Hua.

 

“I think Bai Hua’s features are still a bit imperfect.” Even Mu Rong, who was standing next to him, couldn’t help but intervene, “How about restructuring his features?”

 

“Actually, I think this current look is weird too.” Qin Guan also chimed in, “No hair, no figure2, and wearing a white dress with nothing on it, it’s easy to scare people on the road.”

 

“How about tearing up the current painting and starting over?” Mu Rong smiled coldly, “Let’s see if this little handsome white boy will suddenly vanish like Qingxing.”

 

“Mu Rong, this time, either you die or I die!” Bai Hua looked like a madman who had his head shaved by a mental hospital, even his lips had been bitten by himself to the point of bleeding.

 

“I think there’s still something missing.” Another person poked his head out from behind the easel, “How can we forget to put on some lipstick when he’s already dressed so nicely?”

 

“Good idea!”

 

“Oh no, I think we’ve run out of red paint, what should we do?”

 

Hearing the rustling sounds in the classroom, Bai Hua couldn’t help but sigh in relief, with his current appearance as it was, he couldn’t afford to get tossed and turned3 anymore.

 

“It’s okay, I have red paint here.” A teenager, much taller than Bai Hua, stood up from behind the easel.

 

“Zhu Ting?!” When Birch saw the boy clearly, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and the first thing he did was to cover his mouth with his free hands, “Ugh! Hmm!”

 

“Oh my god, this is ……” Even Mu Rong and Qin Guan couldn’t help but avert their eyes.

 

That teenager who stood up from the classroom wasn’t very handsome, but he looked decent.
But…… that teenager had a wound on his neck that was deep to the bone, and the blood that flowed out stained the entire white shirt on the teenager’s body, but it was still flowing downwards.

 

“I have red paint here.” The teenager’s neck twisted, making that wound even more hideous, “Is this enough?”

 

“You’re a fake, you’re not Zhu Ting.” The bald-headed Bai Hua shook his head incredulously, “You’re not Zhu Ting, Zhu Ting is ……”

 

“Already dead, killed by you.” The teenager’s bulging eyes stared intently at Bai Hua, “Bai Hua, why are you doing this to me!”

 

“We grew up together, no one in this world likes you more than me! I accompanied you no matter what you did; even when you went crazy and wanted to do some blood sacrifice, I was still by your side! But why did you have to kill me?!” Bloody tears flowed from Zhu Ting’s eyes and the red blood was already flowing on the floor of the art classroom.

 

“You’re so hypocritical!” Although there was fear in Bai Hua’s eyes, he restrained it well.
At most, his voice trembled a little, “You said you’d do anything for my happiness, you said you’d fight for my happiness! If it wasn’t for the blood sacrifice that required the blood of a virgin, I wouldn’t even want to talk to you! What’s more, I didn’t know that the blood sacrifice would require so much blood!”

 

“That’s not right.” Mu Rong suddenly interrupted Bai Hua’s tirade, “If you needed the blood of a virgin, couldn’t you just extract it from yourself? You were going to kill yourself anyway, wouldn’t you kill two birds with one stone by shedding some blood in the process?”

 

Hearing Mu Rong’s words, Bai Hua’s face instantly turned blue, red, purple and white in a particularly ugly way.

 

“Oh my, is little handsome Bai no longer a virgin?” From the moment they entered the art classroom, Mu Rong felt that everything that happened here was so liberating!

 

“That was before I had met Lord Death!” Bai Hua immediately defended, “No, I didn’t do anything!I didn’t do anything!”

 

“I’ll paint your lipstick.” The ghost named Zhu Ting stained his brush with red, and even though he looked hideous, he still painted Bai Hua’s red lips stroke by stroke, very carefully.

 

“Mmm ……” Bai Hua bit his lips desperately, but a blood red smear still appeared on his mouth, and it wasn’t red paint; it was Zhu Ting’s blood!

 

“Do you have any more red paint over there?” The girl sitting in the corner of the first row suddenly spoke up, “Teacher Du’s clothes are red, but I don’t have any red paint over here, I feel like I need a lot of it ……”

 

“Do you really need it?” Zhu Ting craned his neck and glanced in the girl’s direction, “Don’t you have plenty of it on yourself?”

 

“Ah!” The girl suddenly jumped up from her chair in shock, and with a swipe of her hand, she pushed over the easel that was in front of herself, making her entire body visible to Du Wei and the others.

 

“Uhmmm……” Du Wei’s single intact eye obviously recognised the girl, and the loss of his mouth was something that kept Du Wei from screaming out even if he couldn’t control himself for a moment.

 

The girl, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, looked very cute.

 

However, from between the girl’s legs, dirty blood continued to trickle down.

 

“I forgot ……,” the girl said quietly, “I have a lot of blood too, I have a lot of blood too …… Do you like this color, Mr.
Du? Do you remember, Mr Du? This was our baby ……”

 

“Ummm!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ！！！！！”

 

The ear-piercing screams resounded throughout the classroom!

 

“What’s going on?” Mu Rong was also shocked, “Isn’t Du Wei’s mouth missing?”

 

“I forgot to draw it earlier, so I’m just filling it in now.” The girl who initially spoke smiled and responded.

 

Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed the bloody mouth opening up on Du Wei’s neck!

 

“What on earth has this scumbag Du Wei done!” Mu Rong couldn’t help but cover her eyes, “This kind of scum dares to call himself a teacher, he really doesn’t deserve the mercy of a peaceful death!”

 

“What a nice horror film.” Qin Guan sneered for a while, “Since Du Wei has already shouted so much, doesn’t that mean he’s already out? This is really a good retribution from heaven.”

 

“Teacher Du, look, this is our baby.” The innocent young girl was holding only bright red blood in her hands, but after hearing what she said, nobody could bear to look at it.

 

“Scum!” Mu Rong once again gritted her teeth and said, “No wonder he hooked up with Bai Hua so quickly, even if he smiles kindly every day, he’s still just a scum! I really don’t know how many little girls this bastard has deceived and harmed with this seemingly kind smile!”

 

Under the crowd’s gaze, Du Wei’s body really started to become transparent ……

 

“Don’t! Don’t! I don’t want to die aaaaahhhh!” Du Wei cried out as hard as he could.

 

Off-screen, the God of Death who was watching the film nodded and said, “It’s a good film.”

 

“Let go of me!” The moment he saw Du Wei’s body turn transparent, the power around Su Qingxing’s body completely exploded!

 

It was impossible for Shen Si to bring his true body into the world of the Underworld Trials, so even Shen Si, who had been trying to suppress it, was no longer able to do anything against the power Su Qingxing exploded with at this moment!

 

Even as the God of Death tightened his grip on the hands of his betrothed and recklessly embraced that slightly frail figure into his arms, Su Qingxing’s power still burst out in all directions!

 

“Boom!”

 

Shen Si and Su Qingxing seemed to be stranded in the middle of a storm, the seats around them as well as all the arrangements in the cinema hall were all crushed by the power.
Only the screen at the very front that was displaying Du Wei’s fading image, remained intact.

 

“Calm down4.” Shen Si struggled to envelop his betrothed in his arms.

 

Instead, Su Qingxing just stared at Du Wei who was about to disappear, then broke away from Shen Si’s embrace, stretched out his hand in the direction of where Du Wei was on the screen, and……

 

Pinched hard!

 

The power bursting out from Su Qingxing caused a gust of wind that blew up the silver hair that was casually tied in a knot behind him.

 

At that moment, His Highness the Death God, who had been keeping a close eye on his betrothed, felt like his eyes were being stabbed by dust5, but he still could not move his eyes.

 

“Ah!” What was truly strange was that the Du Wei in the screen suddenly stopped fading the moment Su Qingxing struck off-screen, and his face twisted in pain as if he was being strangled!

 

Du Wei’s bloody mouth that had been transferred to his neck was also viciously strangled, looking horrifying and absurd!

 

“He’s almost dead.” Shen Si stood by Su Qingxing’s side, “Why all the extra work?”

 

“It’s the duty of a guide to send those who are unpleasant to hell, and to bring those he chooses, back to Ghost City.” The confused Su Qingxing was a good boy who answered all questions, “I hate Du Wei, even sending him to hell would be too cheap!”

 

As he spoke, Su Qingxing’s outstretched hand immediately clenched.

 

The Du Wei inside the screen turned into pieces of ash and scattered in all directions with a piercing scream.

 

Ashes to ashes!

 

“Dead soul number MS8346, Du Wei.
Trial failed.”

 

“You are undoubtedly the strongest of all the Guides.” Si Shen looked at Du Wei, who had turned to ashes, on the screen, but did not feel sorry for him.
He asked with some curiosity, “If someone is killed in the trial and does not go to hell or to the ghost town, then where will they  go?”

 

“They would lag behind.” Su Qingxing finally calmed down after one outburst, “Maybe their memory will be cleared and they will start over in another ghost city.
But for somebody like Du Wei, it’s not worth continuing to waste energy.”

 

“Can only ghosts with good intentions go to ghost towns?”

 

“No.” Su Qingxing’s mood was getting more and more stable, his whole body subconsciously leaning against Shen Si’s body.
His voice was tinged with more than a hint of sleepiness, “That’s just a personal preference of Zhu Sha and I.
Many ghost cities will select the fiercest and cruelest evil spirits to join the ghost city in order to enhance their strength, I don’t like ……”

 

The God of Death immediately hugged Su Qingxing who had fallen into his arms.

 

His betrothed was not exhausted, but he was so tired that he must close his eyes to sleep for a while.

 

After confirming that Su Qingxing was fine, the god of death looked around, then found that the entire studio’s seats had been crushed by his betrothed’s power.

 

So, the God of Death could only hold Su Qingxing like this, and looking at the heartwarming beauty of his betrothed’s slumbering face, he could not help but murmur, “When I have settled everything, I will tell you all the stories.”

 

Then the two just snuggled up, facing the only intact movie screen in front of them.

 

Although Du Wei had already gone up in smoke, Bai Hua on the screen was still staring fearlessly at Zhu Ting, who was coming towards him.

 

Even though the young man was bathed in blood, Bai Hua says unfazed, “I will not be afraid.
No matter how messed up I am now, as long as I can get through the game, everything will be back to the way it was.
If I can’t even do this, then how can I go and meet Lord Death?”

AWWWWWW my babies are cuddling! They are so cute! Su Qingxing is so well behaved, my good boi, and Shen Si is just a pampering boyfriend trying to take care of his exhausted little boyfriend

He’s also so awkward HAHAHAHAHA

Honestly, I love this ML so much cuz he’s a sweetie who wants the person he loves to be safe and happy.
He is willing to go through hell and all this time he says nothing to the MC, fighting alone so that he can give MC the most secure environment for him to grow.
He never once gave up on him, he is not possessive or creepy, he’s not rapey like the MLs in so many other BLs I’ve read, he’s not doing assholish things under the guise of being a tsundere, and most importantly, he gives MC his own space.
The MC, on the other hand, is a thoughtful cinnamon roll who deserves my sweet fluffy caramel filled sugar bun ML.
He is independent, and he pulls his weight.

Their relationship is so balanced and natural that it makes me melt into a nosebleed-chan sized puddle!

ALso, Y’all can start congratulating me now, I CLEARED THE INTERVIEW EHEHEHEHEHE.
Ahem.
Now I am assuming I’ll be significantly less broke than I usually am.
Updates will be slow but I definitely am not abandoning either of my projects……

HA HA AHA HASAHSJA SHE GAVE HIM A GREEN HAT! In China “wearing a green hat” (戴绿帽子 or dài lǜ mào zǐ) is an expression that Chinese use when a woman cheats on her husband or boyfriend because the phrase sounds similar to the word for cuckold.
In Yuan Dynasty, prostitutes, as well as their male parents and relatives were required to wear green turbans or headgear.
However, the biggest and most popular reason for equalizing getting cuckolded with wearing a green hat is probably the incident that happened in Tang dynasty.
A scholar named Li Yuanming married a beautiful wife Cifu.
Li Yuanming was a scholar and neglected his wife in favour of his scholarly pursuits.
Cifu, who was sad and neglected, fell in love with her neighbor, a widowed cloth merchant, and cheated on her husband with him.
Every time Li Yuanming went out for one of his business trips, she would make him wear a green hat, which was a secret code to her neighbor, “my husband is going out for a long time”.
This happened for some time until one day when Li Yuanming returned halfway through his journey because he forgot something at his home.
After reaching home, he caught Cifu and the neighbor red handed and this news spread throughout the village, thus equating “Green hats” to getting cheated on.
Now a days, this phrase is used regardless of gender, for anybody who is cheating on their significant other.

Haha he’s calling him flat, no curves! Wheeeeze

getting tossed and turned: getting troubled/tormented by others,

It was physically painful for me to control the urge to translate it as “Just chill” Wheeeeeeze

5

The word used here is 眯, which can have 2 meanings: to blind (as with dust), to narrow one’s eyes; to squint; I don’t think he was feeling sleepy so he might have been blinded by dust, or more accurately, by the gusts of the wind
