Si Yan had suffered from heart disease since childhood. She died before she even reached the age of twenty.
She had eagerly expected to peacefully queue for Meng Po's Soup after death and be reborn.
To her utter surprise, the underworld was nothing like the legends!
The Impermanence officials wore suits, the Judge reviewed folders, tourist photo-op signs lined the Yellow Springs Road, and even the River of Forgetfulness had been replaced by a giant LED screen showing flowing water.
After finally making it through the Yellow Springs Road, an unexpected mishap at the very last moment completely derailed her reincarnation.
Her name was nowhere to be found in the Book of Life and Death, leaving Si Yan an undocumented ghost in the underworld.
Determined to get another chance at reincarnation, she decided to set off for Fengdu City with Cang Qi and a little dog named Wan Yi.
Cang Qi was neither human nor ghost, but an abandoned ancient experimental subject whose past was shrouded in mystery.
They battled through the Ridge of Evil Dogs, the eerie Guanyin Immortal Abode, and the perilous Hidden Spring trial. One ancient secret after another came to light.
The underworld's systems kept changing, time and space twisted and pulled at them repeatedly, and it seemed fate had already laid a vast, inescapable net for her.
Si Yan's inner monologue: I only wanted to be reincarnated as a human. Why are you forcing me to become an ancient divine official?!
