=Episode 1=

(After starting to work,)

(my favorite day is Saturday.)

(I'll let myself sleep in.)

(Then I'll just stay home all day.)

(I can do whatever I want.)

(Watching the goldfish swim,)

(I can zone out for an entire day.)

(Fu Zhou, written in 2017) (But today,)

(I've read it 5 times.) (I have something else I want to do.)

(By Fu Zhou) (Fu Zhou)

(is my favorite author.)

(He finally released a new book.)

(His world is full of wonders)

(with innovative and clever plots.)

(The style is warm and healing.)

(Audio book, comments) (As a ten-year fan,)

(Catching Demons) (I've read)

(every one of his novels many times.)

(They are an indispensable part of my life.)

(Working girl, Ling Miaomiao) (In this world,)

(demons run rampant, waiting for heroes to write their legends.)

(Fu Zhou, a famous fantasy and supernatural writer,)

(after three years,)

(has finally released his new work, Catching Demons.)

(Stay tuned.)

(Nine hundred years ago,)

(the catastrophe of heaven descended upon the world.)

(At that time, the heavens cracked.)

(Mountains and seas were split.)

(The giant Resentful Woman devoured the earth.)

(The cultivator Mu Qingshi was enlightened in crisis,)

(achieving the heavenly realm.)

(He used his body to mend the sky.)

(After the catastrophe, people feared demons.)

(Demon catching became the profession of cultivators.)

(Mu Qingshi's descendants carried on.)

(The Mus became famous demon catchers.)

(Mu Family) (Seven years ago,)

(the Resentful Woman, the Queen of Demons, appeared.)

(After killing the Mus, she vanished.)

(Mr. Tao)

Hello, Mr. Tao.

Ling.

We'll have a meeting soon.

You need to notify everyone.

They must all be

at the company before noon.

A meeting?

But Mr. Tao,

today is

Saturday.

(Catching Demons)

(Now, Taicang County in Jiangnan is also facing demon troubles.)

(It's said that on wedding nights,)

(new grooms are often harmed by demons.)

(County Magistrate's Mansion) (The whole city is in panic.)

(To ensure peace, County Magistrate Lin Lushan)

(asks the descendants of the Mu family to take command.)

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

What's wrong with the leading actor?

Ignoring the leading actress?

He's kind to every girl; not good.

The yandere supporting actor is more appealing.

The supporting actress

is so catty every time she shows up.

Why are they still friends?

If you can't write romance,

don't force it.

I paid 20 for a membership.

How can you show me this?

I only made you revise the proposal over 20 times,

yet you're tired.

How many times have I said it?

The proposal is very important.

The slides represent

- the attitude. - (This is when)

- Are you counting on the company? - (Lin Yu started to love Liu Fuyi.)

- It won't last. - (She's always with him.)

(This way,)

(Yao would be safe.)

(Sister Mu.)

(You can only blame yourself for being clueless.)

(If you disappear,)

(Brother Liu will be mine.)

Yours.

Mine?

Yours.

Mine.

You can submit it Monday morning, right?

No problem, boss.

Okay.

No matter how much is said,

attitude determines everything.

Dad,

I had a really unlucky day today.

How am I supposed to finish this by Monday?

(I can still stall for a while.)

Liu Fuyi,

have you ever loved me?

No.

Never.

I approached you to get

the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

(How can this novel be so absurd?)

(Is there going to be)

(a major twist later?)

(The writer is Fu Zhou, after all.)

(I'll wait until the ending.)

(Spirit Tablet of Lin Yu)

Lin Yu,

why did you poison my drink?

Why do you want me dead?

Because the one she wants to marry isn't me.

It's Liu Fuyi.

So you really are a demon.

You all lied to me.

(Fu Zhou,)

(you're my favorite author.)

(Are you trying to fool your fans for money too?)

(I'm so disappointed in you.)

(Working Miao, Quick Post) Such a cheesy romantic novel.

It's a romance novel dressed in a fantasy guise,

but the romance part is also lousy.

The official couple is so stupid.

The plot relies entirely on the vicious supporting actress.

This book might as well be called The Legend of Lin Yu.

The main storyline is thin with flat characters.

The novel is so absurd.

And the author just gives

everyone a tragic ending.

What's the difference between this ending and a scam?

(Quick Post)

(Such a cheesy romantic novel.)

(Cruel and ruthless)

(Ancient romance, supporting actress, storyline-expanding, absurd, cheesy)

(Where is this?)

(Am I dreaming?)

(Did I have Yunnan mushrooms?)

Miss.

Miss.

The auspicious time is near.

You should change into your wedding attire.

Who are you?

Why are you dressed in ancient costumes?

(Wan, County Magistrate's maid) I am...

I'm Wan, Miss.

You don't recognize me?

Wan?

(The supporting actress's personal maid from Catching Demons.)

(Am I in the novel?)

So, who am I?

Miss,

did you get possessed

by a demon again?

What's going on?

Why am I also in ancient costumes?

Hello, Host.

- Who's speaking? - You have entered a parallel world

based on the novel Catching Demons.

From now on, you'll be

the County Magistrate's daughter, Lin Yu.

Lin Yu?

The vicious supporting actress?

You have to clear the game

to return to the real world.

You must meet the following two conditions to clear the game:

First,

complete the main quest and survive until the end

by helping kill the Resentful Woman.

Second, complete the hidden quest.

Both conditions are essential.

(This is ridiculous.)

(I can't believe I've been traveled into a book.)

(Forget it.)

(I'm here anyway. I must ask)

(what I need to do to go back.)

Tell me; what's the hidden quest?

The hidden quest will be revealed

after you complete all the tasks for beginners.

Task one for a beginner:

Marry Liu Fuyi, consummate the marriage,

and pretend to love him.

Consummate the marriage?

- I don't want to. - It's loading

the beginner tutorial mode.

- No way. - Three.

- Two, one. - No way, why?

I don't want to do this.

I want to go out.

Why should I?

I'm not playing this. I want to go out.

=Love Game in Eastern Fantasy=

(The end)

Ouch!

Miss.

The auspicious time is near.

You should change into your wedding attire.

Miss, where are you going?

Young Master Liu will be here soon.

This time, it should be fine, right?

(Okay.)

(It's just a common bug in novel traveling.)

(I just have to follow the plot.)

(If I don't marry him,)

(I can never leave this courtyard, right?)

Miss.

Miss.

The auspicious time is near.

You should change into your wedding attire.

(Young girl, Ling Miaomiao) Fine, I'll get married for now.

(County Magistrate's daughter, Lin Yu)

(Happy)

(Famous demon catcher, Liu Fuyi) Miss Lin, are you ready?

(So this is what the leading actor looks like.)

(He's better looking than described in the book.)

We need to act a bit more intimate,

like,

toasting

under the wedding candle.

Toasting?

I know you're a noble lady.

I must be too forward.

But if we don't,

the demon

might get suspicious.

Let's do the whole act properly.

No problem.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Let's get through the plot

so I can go back soon.

Come on. Cheers.

(Isn't this just water?)

She seems to be here.

Don't look back.

She's right behind you.

Young Master,

come here.

Come.

Young Master,

come here.

Who's prettier,

me or your bride?

How could she compare to you?

Congratulations, Host.

You have completed the first tutorial task.

Miss Lin,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

(Wait.)

(In the original novel, Lin Yu tore Liu Fuyi's talisman.)

(That means I tore Liu Fuyi's talisman.)

(Original plot)

(Sister Mu.)

(You can only blame yourself for being clueless.)

(If you disappear,)

(Brother Liu will be mine.)

Oh, no.

The leading actress is in danger; you need to save her.

Who?

Mu Yao.

Don't worry.

I set up a talisman at Yao's door.

- The demon can't escape far. - There's no time; she's in danger.

You need to go now.

Hurry.

(Mirror Demon)

Excuse me. Mu Yao...

Where is Mu Yao's room?

Miss,

it's over there.

Over there.

Alright, alright.

This ancient young lady

has such poor physical condition.

(Mu family's master, Mu Yao)

Sister Mu Yao, are you alright?

She's still here.

Yao!

Sister Mu Yao, Brother Liu.

Miss Lin.

Miss Lin.

Where are you?

Listen to me.

This is a Mirror Demon.

We are trapped in the Mirror Demon's space.

We can't see each other

because everything in front of us isn't real.

It's all a reflection.

To get out, we must find the true mirror

where the demon hides

and break it.

Miss Lin.

She's not a demon catcher.

She's just an ordinary person.

Your opponent is us.

Let her go.

Let her go?

It seems you have integrity

and worry about the innocent.

Don't harm her.

Mirror Demon,

why did you kill grooms on wedding nights?

They were tempted by me.

They were all heartless men

who deserved to die.

But their brides

were always so deluded,

just like my master.

Your master?

Exactly.

My master was infatuated and misled.

For that heartless man who married another woman,

she was willing to give up everything.

Any woman

who falls in love

will end up like her.

Step back.

Put down your weapon,

or she'll die right away.

Without weapons,

demon catchers

are just ordinary people like anyone else.

(Sheng?)

(He...)

(He is the supporting actor from the novel.)

(cruel Mu Sheng.)

If you get any closer,

she will lose her life.

(Qingyue Pavilion)

Sheng, stop.

Thought the Mirror Demon does evil,

she's also loyal to its old master,

meaning to do justice for women in the world.

(Mu family's adopted son, Mu Sheng) Let her undergo trials in this tower.

Those who harm my sister

must die.

Sister Mu Yao.

Sister.

Sister Mu Yao.

Are you alright?

Sister.

The immortal appear with bright stars.

Where light meets darkness, greatness is achieved.

Demon Trap Tower,

go.

(Wow.)

(These special effects.)

(If this were adapted into a film, how much would it cost?)

Sister, I'm late.

(Is this)

(my lover in the novel?)

(My future husband?)

(Mu Sheng doesn't love Lin Yu.)

(Marrying her is just for revenge.)

(After marriage,)

(Mu Sheng humiliates and torments her.)

(He uses all means necessary.)

(He even places a love curse on her)

(so she cannot speak of it to outsiders.)

(Lin Yu is soon tortured to the point of wishing she were dead,)

(falling into self-inflicted suffering,)

(what she deserves.)

Get lost!

Sister, let's go back inside.

(Forget about it.)

(This character set is too terrifying.)

(I can't mess with him.)

Sister.

(Qingyue Pavilion) Miss Lin,

how did you know the way out

so quickly?

I...

Well...

(It's because I know the plots.)

Of course, it's because of my keen insight

and calm judgment.

Miss Lin,

you're far braver than I imagined.

You're flattering me.

If you hadn't

reminded me that Yao was in danger today,

I probably wouldn't have arrived in time.

No need to be polite.

It was nothing.

It was what I should do.

Sister,

does it hurt?

I'm fine.

But I got hurt.

If it hurts, go apply some medicine.

You still have the energy to shout here.

If I hadn't come back today,

you would have been in trouble.

I've told him not to leave you alone.

Enough.

It was me who sent Fuyi.

Fuyi just wanted

to catch the big demon quickly.

Is catching demons more important than your life?

Where was he when you were in trouble?

He even found a woman to marry.

It's my fault.

Sheng is right.

About today,

I didn't think it through.

You were just thinking of the big picture.

Sheng is being inconsiderate.

(Soap opera drama aside,)

(I'd love to see more fighting scenes of men)

(like this.)

About today,

it's all thanks to Miss Lin.

If she hadn't reminded me that you'd be in danger,

I wouldn't have known.

(They're developing feelings as the official couple.)

(Why are you crying, supporting leading actress?)

Why am I still crying?

Miss Lin, what's wrong?

I...

I...

The demon problem here has been resolved.

That's a good thing.

Why are you crying?

I just...

I feel very touched.

Touched?

Yeah.

I saw Sister Mu and Brother Liu protecting each other.

They're a perfect match.

They're so happy.

I just feel so envious and touched.

Who told you they are a perfect match?

Liu Fuyi is just

a hypocrite seeking fame.

He's not worthy of my sister.

(Oh, no.)

(I forgot that in the novel,)

(the leads aren't together yet.)

(And Mu Sheng is very protective of his sister.)

(He hates it when his sister has romantic ties with the leading actor.)

(I misspoke.)

Besides,

are you envious

or resentful?

How could that be?

Young Master Mu must be just joking.

It's getting late.

If there's nothing else, I'll leave.

Miss Lin, why do you want to leave?

I haven't properly thanked you yet.

Thank me for what?

For reminding Liu Fuyi

to protect my sister, of course.

But

how did you know my sister would be in danger?

I don't know.

I just thought...

Why are you shivering, Miss Lin?

Well.

It seems

like we can't be too close, right?

You got your lipstick smudged.

Looks like you just ate a child.

(What's going on?)

(Why am I still)

(in this place after I woke up?)

(Do I have to complete the system's required tasks)

(to return to reality?)

(What's the worldview)

(of this stupid novel, anyway?)

(Nine hundred years ago,)

(Heavenly Demon Catcher Mu Qingshi) (the catastrophe of heaven came.)

(The cultivator Mu Qingshi was enlightened in crisis,)

(achieving the heavenly realm.)

(He used his body to mend the sky.)

(After the catastrophe,)

(people feared demons.)

(Demon catching became the profession of cultivators.)

(The Mus' Ancestral Home) (Mu Qingshi's descendants carried on.)

(Mu Mansion) (The Mus became famous demon catchers.)

(Seven years ago,)

(The Resentful Woman, the Queen of Demons, appeared.)

(After killing the Mus, she vanished.)

(After the massacre,)

(the surviving leading actress, Mu Yao,)

(and the supporting actor, Mu Sheng, started to roam the world,)

(Young Mu Sheng; Young Mu Yao) (walking all around,)

(and living off demon catching rewards.)

(Mu) (Along the way, they met Liu Fuyi.)

(Later, in Taicang County,)

(they took in the supporting actress, Lin Yu.)

(That'd be me.)

(So, I joined the main character group.)

Please forgive me for being clumsy, Miss.

Please forgive me for being clumsy, Miss.

- Sorry, Miss. - Why are you so scared of me?

Get up.

It's just a hair.

It's not a big deal.

It's my hair quality that's poor.

It's dry, so its split ends break easily.

It's not your fault.

Get up, get up.

Yes.

Miss, which one do you want to wear today?

Is this one made of copper?

It's pure gold.

What?

Such a big pearl.

This is the best South Sea Pearl.

Miss, it's time for your bird's nest soup.

Come on, eat up.

After you finish, we need to go pick up the master.

Goodness.

(Extravagance and luxury.)

(In the novel, Lin Yu's father is a corrupt official.)

(All of this is from the people's hard work.)

(No wonder Lin Yu is so selfish and cunning.)

(Like father, like daughter.)

(Taicang Wharf)

(Wine) Buns!

Come and try the hot buns.

- Take a look. - Buns!

Miss.

Over there.

I want this.

Alright, alright.

(Taicang Wharf)

Alright.

Take care.

Just ahead.

Miss.

Come try candied hawthorns.

They're sweet and big.

Slow down.

Wan,

I can't see clearly.

Which one is my father?

They're sweet and big.

Selling fruits!

- The one in the gray robe. - Slow down.

That's our master.

- Come on. - Selling fruits.

Dear.

Move!

Move!

Move!

Move! Move!

Dear.

Did it scare you?

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.
