Gu Sa, a female special police officer renowned for her outstanding service and formidable combat skills, expected a ticket to heaven after giving her life in the line of duty. Instead, the old heavens conscripted her, deciding that her aura of menace made her perfect for catching ghosts as an underworld constable! The dashing Officer Gu is forced to begin a hilarious career as a civil servant in the netherworld.
She wields a specially made soul-subduing ruler in her left hand, using it as a baton, and an enhanced soul-hooking rope in her right, using it as handcuffs. At her side are the timid but capable Judge A Bu, expert in the tablet version of the Book of Life and Death, and the poker-faced, powerful Judge Hei Qi. Gu Sa's daily routine includes shouting, “Police! Hands on your head, get down!” at vicious ghosts, trying to subdue a Kuman Thong with grappling moves, and turning a spirit-summoning ritual dance into an exercise routine. The old hands in the underworld may roll their eyes, but that's fine: might, and good karma, make right!
Ten tricky supernatural cases, ten perilous and hilarious “promotion” challenges:
Help a red-clad vengeful ghost rip into a scumbag in the living world, then send her off to reincarnate;
Help a lost little ghost destroy a human-trafficking den and find his way home;
Join forces with the “Midnight Customer Service Ghost” to take down an international scam operation;
Quell a riot in “Demon Valley” and punish the heartless director selling human organs;
Deal with the “Stock-Mad” flat-headed ghost disrupting financial markets;
Get justice for a family of spirits buried beneath a shoddily built apartment complex;
Subdue an evil Kuman Thong that has turned on its love-struck master;
Summon heroic spirits at a museum to judge the ghost of a war criminal guilty of countless atrocities...
After conquering challenge after challenge, she is finally crowned the underworld's one and only female Yama: the King of Wheels of Rebirth, ruler of the Tenth Hall! She takes charge of the cycle of reincarnation, implements reforms in the netherworld, and earns the right to report to the heavenly court. Who says the underworld has to be gloomy and lifeless? See how Lady Yama Gu uses a modern mindset and the methods of a special police officer to make the netherworld a place of passion and nonstop laughs!
