Chapter 1

A moment earlier, I was clutching my makeup case and sprinting toward the film set. The next thing I knew, the world flipped, and I was hauled into a horror game instance called The Devil's Bride.Before I could even figure out what was going on, an angry shout suddenly came from the room ahead."What do you mean the makeup artist reincarnated or something? Then what am I supposed to do about my bridal makeup? "Our instance has ranked dead last three times in a row already. If there's no makeup or styling, our ratings are definitely going to tank again. The players are about to enter the instance. Where am I supposed to find another makeup artist now?"I was a little confused by the first part, but that last sentence instantly snapped me into work mode.As a dedicated, hardworking makeup artist, hustling for jobs was part of my daily routine.I knocked on the door immediately and volunteered. "Are you looking for a makeup artist? That's me!"Silence settled over the room. Momen

Chapter 2

I guessed the Slit-Mouthed Woman had probably been dead for years, judging by her parched, rough skin. The moment I applied the moisturizer, it was instantly absorbed into her skin like water in a desert.I couldn't help but advise her, "Even though you're a ghost, you should still take care of your skin. Some ghosts have been dead for over 40 years and still look like they passed away just 20 years ago."The Slit-Mouthed Woman sighed. "This place isn't like the living world. Skincare and makeup products are scarce, and only the rich can afford them. "In our horror game, the cosmetics are provided by the studio, but because our instance performs so poorly, our budget is tiny. That's why our makeup never looks good and fails to draw in viewers."I caught a word in her explanation. "Viewers?"She gave a small clap. "Exactly. The live comments in horror games aren't from humans—they come from ghosts watching the stream. It's the same as how you humans watch reality shows."I raised

Chapter 3

The live comments were full of praise."I'm declaring the Slit-Mouthed Woman my new favorite! I'm heading straight to SpiritStream to vote for her!""It's a shame the other brides didn't keep up with her styling. If they had, this instance would've looked even better.""Slit-Mouthed Woman, please make this look permanent!"Seeing the compliments made me swell with pride. I was just a small, no-name makeup artist on the set, usually stuck doing makeup for minor roles.Everyone said my style was too bold—too mysterious and eerie—and just didn't fit with heroic characters.I never imagined it would be so well received in a horror game. This was the first time my work had earned this much recognition.As the game approached its end, the Slit-Mouthed Woman returned. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw me. "By the way, what's your name?""Luna Frost.""Okay, Luna. I've already spoken to the boss. We're hiring you as the permanent makeup artist for our instance!""I…"I was about to

The brides sat in a row, completely bare-faced, looking almost like obedient schoolchildren."What's this?" I asked in confusion.The Slit-Mouthed Woman smiled at me. "The makeup you did for me last time was very popular with viewers, and all my colleagues loved it. Can you do theirs too?"Her approval touched me unexpectedly. It was as if the row before me wasn't a line of ghosts, but a line of accomplishments on display."No problem. Consider it done!" I said with enthusiasm, opening my makeup case.The Slit-Mouthed Woman wanted to stick with the same style as before, so I only adjusted her hair, turning her messy, long black strands into voluminous, glamorous waves. It suited her mix of innocence and exotic allure perfectly.Next came the Long-Haired Ghoul. Her face was hidden beneath a curtain of hair that writhed and twisted as if it had a will of its own. Any fool who dared to get close risked being strangled. She radiated a terrifying presence.However, there was a proble

Chapter 5

The Long-Haired Ghoul exclaimed, "I love it! I really do. I always thought long hair was such a hassle, but I never imagined it could look this good when it's styled like this."I nodded. "From now on, no one is ever going to confuse you with Eliza again. You're just you, with a glow of your own."The other brides, who hadn't gotten their makeup done yet, looked on with envy and began clamoring. "Hurry, hurry! I want mine done too!""Don't rush—there's plenty of time. We'll go one by one," I said, stepping toward the Scarlet Vampire. She didn't look entirely bare-faced."Have you already put on lipstick?" I asked, frowning at her dark red lips. "This is such a dark shade. What color did you use?"The Scarlet Vampire blinked, looking slightly lost. "Maybe type A blood?"I froze for a moment. She quickly realized what I meant and added, "Sorry, I had some blood earlier and didn't wipe it off."She smiled, revealing a wide mouth full of blood-stained teeth. I quickly handed her

Chapter 6

The most important step was using gel to draw two streaks of tears along the Ghost Bride's lower eyelids, then delicately applying gold leaf over them.The streaks looked like falling tears, yet shimmered like a dazzling galaxy, giving her a noble, mysterious air.The Ghost Bride studied her reflection in the mirror. As she turned, the gold leaf caught the light, sparkling like countless tiny stars. Her face hidden beneath the white cloth only heightened her enigmatic charm, making her all the more captivating."Thank you…" Her eyes glistened with tears."Even with just this eye makeup, I feel like I truly exist. I can shine in the eyes of others, and it means far more to me than any makeup look ever could."I felt a twinge in my chest and smiled. "You were always dazzling. Go on, take the stage. Tonight, all eyes will be on you."Outside the room, a sudden clamor rose. The players were entering.…At the same time, "The Devil's Bride" live stream began.As the NPCs appeared

Chapter 7

"This instance used to rely completely on the Demon Boss to draw in viewers.""But now, the Demon Boss is the one dragging everyone down.""The brides' makeup looks incredible, and the Demon Boss shows up without any? How ridiculous!"The chat surged like a tide, forcing the Demon Boss, who had just made an appearance, to retreat offscreen again.I had only just lowered my head to pack up my makeup case and completely missed the Demon Boss' moment.When the brides returned to the dressing room, I quickly pulled out a high-end skincare set and pressed it into the Slit-Mouthed Woman's hands.Even in the underworld, courtesy mattered. She had brought so many clients to me—the least I could do was show my gratitude. Her skin was dry, so a hydrating skincare set was the most practical gift."This is far too extravagant!" The Slit-Mouthed Woman's eyes lit up with surprise, and she even tried to politely refuse."This skincare is rare in your realm, but it's quite common in the livi

"I'm sorry. It all happened so fast. She grabbed me and wouldn't let go, so I accidentally brought her in." I handed out the cosmetics I had bought for everyone and asked, "But the instance doesn't open for another day. Why did you need me here now?"The brides exchanged excited glances, all smiling warmly. "Luna, the Demon Boss wants you to do his makeup and styling too. Last time, our viewers said he was holding the instance back, and he felt really wronged. His situation is a bit unusual, so we asked you to come early."That immediately piqued my curiosity. "How unusual?"The moment the words left my mouth, the floor began to tremble.I turned around and came face to face with a giant three times the height of a normal person.He had 16 heads and 32 eyes. His body was packed with bulging muscles, radiating raw, coiled power.I swallowed hard, feeling a chill crawl down my spine. "Hold on… You want makeup on all 16 heads?" All 16 of the Demon Boss' eyebrows shot up simult

Chapter 9

I paused for a moment, then decided to turn the four heads at the front of the Demon Boss into gentle, angelic faces full of kindness. The four at the back would take on the cold, menacing look of a dark lord.As for the heads in the middle, they would be a mix of good and evil, each with a distinct expression. That was how I created the layers and depth."But there's still one problem…" I said, looking up at the towering Demon Boss. "You're so tall. Am I going to need scaffolding to do your makeup?"The Demon Boss casually set his heads in a neat row on the table. All 16 heads blinked at me with 32 eyes, and 16 mouths spoke as one, telling me to proceed exactly like this.As Jenny wobbled on the verge of fainting, I steadied her and had her style the Demon Boss' hair from behind, away from the gaze of all 32 eyes.She took a trembling breath and silently obeyed.Their makeup demanded meticulous precision, so I took care of it all myself. The brides gathered around, watching in a

Chapter 10

They were willing to spend a fortune to turn me into the number one beauty influencer in their world.The NPCs were all incredibly supportive of me building my own career."Luna, go for it!""Show the entire underworld what beauty looks like!"With that kind of encouragement, my confidence soared. A week later, I launched my very first makeup live stream on PhantomGram.The moment I went live, the room was flooded by ghosts who had rushed in after hearing the news."This is the makeup artist from The Devil's Bride. She's actually livestreaming. Hurry up and learn from her!""Wow, even the streamer herself looks incredible. She almost looks alive.""I've been dead for too long, and my skin is insanely dry. Can makeup still save me?""I just died recently. I have way too much corpse oil, and my makeup always breaks down. How do I fix that?"I smiled calmly and answered them one by one."I've read all your questions. There's no need to worry. Every ghost has a makeup look that
