Even the King of Hell falls silent when he sees me, and Lady Meng gets drunk after one sip. I've fleeced the entire Three Realms bald! Heavenly Master Chu Zhaoran was betrayed and killed by his brother and his brother's girlfriend. Reborn in Hell, he awakens the Hellish Rewards System. From then on, he becomes a ruthless capitalist, turning the Eighteen Levels of Hell into a business empire: he livestreams from the River of Forgetfulness and gets vengeful ghosts to tip him for karmic merit; turns the cauldron of boiling oil into a hot pot restaurant, with Ox-Head and Horse-Face as waiters; and has groups of tongue-pulled ghosts perform stand-up comedy while the gods of the Celestial Court send rocket gifts all night. He recruits a lovesick female ghost as his secretary, tricks Lady Meng into reincarnating to sell arms, and forces the King of Hell to sign a betting agreement. Until one day, the Celestial Court condemns him for disrupting the balance of the Three Realms, and the nine incarnations of Emperor Ziwei arrive at Hell's gates.
With a cigarette made from a flower of the Other Shore dangling from his lips, Chu Zhaoran flicks the ashes and taps the Evil Ghost Labor Law. “What's the rush? You nine... make just enough for a full table on my karmic-merit assembly line.”
