Workaholic Lin Juan dies on the last press of the Enter key.
She lands a job offer from the Underworld: “Congratulations on becoming Chief Merit Optimization Executive! Benefits: immortality (overtime edition).”
Lin Juan: ??? I was a workhorse when I was alive, and now I’m doomed to work for all eternity? What a blessing. You want it?
On her first day, she discovers:
The Book of Life and Death is the DingTalk Pro Max edition, with KPIs precise to the decimal point!
The River of Forgetfulness is a data stream, and Granny Meng has opened a “Luckin-Nayuki” shop selling memory-loss coffee!
The Eighteen Levels of Hell have been revamped: the boiling oil has become a sauna, and the Tongue-Pulling Hell is now reserved for keyboard warriors!
One of her top bosses is Gu Huai, a handsome, sharp-tongued, stone-faced judge who carries a tablet and serves as her personal disaster-cleanup specialist.
Lin Juan’s KPI roadmap:
Invent a “Merit ATM”?
Plan an “Underworld Singles’ Day”?
“The River of Forgetfulness server has crashed!”
Judge Gu’s daily hole-filling routine:
She breaks the system, and he fixes things with a stony face;
She is targeted for assassination, and he risks his life to save her;
She is dragged before the court, and he flips the table: “She’s an idiot, but I’m the one who spoiled her. If anyone’s guilty, blame me!”
Lin Juan: “Lord Gu, save me!”
Gu Huai: “No... (quietly fixes the problem)... Pay me back in the bedroom.” (stone-facedly drags her away.jpg)
Watch this “reckless troublemaker × unwilling cleanup guy” couple as they take over the Underworld!
In the end, Judge Gu kisses the chatterbox workaholic to shut her up: “Quiet. Go collect your merit... And I love you.”
