[A paid vacation for an Underworld civil servant nearly turned into permanent overtime]
Su Wanwan, the Underworld’s model employee and Lady Meng, has worked nonstop for 9,900 years.
At last, she gets her leave approved by her boss.
The condition: she must go to the human world and “change the fate” of a fellow official undergoing a trial.
She transmigrates with a spring in her step, ready to slack off and enjoy her vacation.
Then she discovers:
The person she has to help is none other than her own boss, Emperor Fengdu!
The man has descended to the mortal realm and become a sickly, disabled heir to a marquisate, unloved by both his father and mother.
And worst of all!
He can hear her thoughts!!!
Su Wanwan acts meek on the outside while ranting furiously on the inside:
[Boss, did you crank this trial’s difficulty way too high?]
[He’s disabled and still that handsome? That makes no sense!]
[Wait, don’t drink that bowl of poisoned soup!!! I can’t let my 300-year vacation go down the drain!]
In a frantic scramble, she helps him counter the poison, battle the household intrigues, and take down the fake white lotus.
As he listens to her endless inner chatter and gossip, he goes from cold scrutiny to falling deeper and deeper for her.
Until one day, after regaining his memories, Emperor Fengdu corners her against a wall:
“Lady Meng, where’s my soup?”
Su Wanwan hugs her Gossip System tight.
“Boss, is it too late for me to ask for leave?”
