After the Metaphysics Ancestor Transmigrated into a Fake-Pregnant Cannon Fodder

Qi Yuqiu, a grand martial uncle from Qingyang Mountain, awakens in the body of a minor celebrity who shares his name. The original owner had attempted to marry into the wealthy Min family by faking a pregnancy, but the scheme was exposed, leading to his ruin, debt, and eventual death in a mental hospital. Qi Yuqiu finds himself trapped in this disastrous situation, burdened by ten million yuan in debt and a Gu worm in his stomach that mimics pregnancy. His primary goal is to clear his name, pay off his debts, and fulfill the original owner's wish for fame to settle karmic debts, all while hiding his true identity as a cultivator.

On the set of the film Into the Devil, Qi Yuqiu is already infamous for trending on social media for the wrong reasons. He is accused of leeching off other cast members to gain attention. When a minor actor, Zhao Zhe, attempts to use Qi Yuqiu for publicity, Qi Yuqiu responds by posting a cryptic Weibo message predicting Zhao Zhe's imprisonment. During a confrontation with the director and Zhao Zhe, Qi Yuqiu reveals knowledge of a hidden murder Zhao Zhe committed years ago. Shortly after, police arrive to arrest Zhao Zhe, validating Qi Yuqiu's claims and shocking the film crew. This event marks a turning point, as Qi Yuqiu begins to shed his reputation as a mere troublemaker.

While leaving the set, Qi Yuqiu encounters a young boy named Xiao Xi who collapses due to Yin energy trapped in a pillar. Despite skepticism from bystanders and a doctor, Qi Yuqiu uses his Taoist skills to stabilize the child's soul and save his life. The incident is filmed by a paranormal streamer and goes viral, causing a massive shift in public opinion. Netizens begin to view Qi Yuqiu as a genuine master rather than a fake celebrity. The child's grandfather, a member of the powerful Gu family, offers a substantial reward, which Qi Yuqiu accepts to help pay his debts.

Following this, Qi Yuqiu is invited to join an adventure mystery reality show hosted by Director Cheng Yu, who is fascinated by Qi Yuqiu's abilities. Simultaneously, Qi Yuqiu moves into the Min family mansion to live with his legal husband, Min Yu, a CEO with a rare and powerful yang malevolent aura. Qi Yuqiu stays to monitor Min Yu and protect him from a malicious plot orchestrated by Min Yu's aunt and cousin, Cheng Qi. They attempt to harm Min Yu using cursed artifacts made from children's bones to steal his luck.

Qi Yuqiu confronts Cheng Qi, exposing the cursed pendant and neutralizing the threat. He captures the resentful spirit of the child whose bone was used and begins a process to help the spirit find peace. As he settles into his new life, Qi Yuqiu balances his acting career, his supernatural duties, and his complicated relationship with Min Yu. Min Yu, initially dismissive of Qi Yuqiu, begins to notice changes in his behavior and becomes intrigued by his husband's hidden depths. The story follows Qi Yuqiu as he navigates the entertainment industry while using his martial arts and Taoist powers to resolve supernatural conflicts and clear his name.
