The World Wants Me Dead: The Useless Ghost King's Rise

Strong heroine and hero + Playing the Fool to Catch the Tiger

The Ghost King, who had lived for seventy thousand years, nearly obliterated herself after one moment of weakness.

Her divine source spent, she saved ninety thousand lives.

When she closed her eyes and opened them again, she found herself a baby still swaddled in its cradle.

Worse still, a powerful being who was neither immortal, demon, nor monster was hiding nearby.

And she was now a cultivationless waste among the cultivators, bullied by the great one every day.

“What, the dignified Ghost King is afraid I’ll find out who you are?”

Damn, the great one had known her identity all along. That meant she’d been embarrassing herself in front of the entire Ghost Realm all this time.

A dark figure pounced on her, plunging them into the sea.

“I’m telling you, no. Absolutely not. Don’t even think about it.”

Facing those deep, shadowy eyes, the Nether Lord refused without hesitation.

Then she realized she’d caught it too.

Who’s going to tell her this thing is contagious? The Nether Lord was on the verge of tears.

He lunged at her. “Whatever you want from now on, I’ll do my best to give it to you.”

And then it became impossible to tell who had whom wrapped around their finger…

“God of the Underworld, do you regret helping that person?”

The gods surrounded her.

She smiled. “The way of the Dao is unclear, and you act without mercy. I swear upon my divinity that I will kill the gods and set the world right.”

That day, crimson light filled the sky, illuminating all six realms. A fallen star plunged from the Upper Heaven into the Abyss of Endless Depths, leaving behind only a cold body.
