After the Crown Prince of the Underworld Becomes a Sensation in the Mortal Realm

[Two Male Leads + Supernatural Mysteries + Showbiz + Slow Burn · Reborn Movie Star × Crown Prince of the Underworld]

Zhu Nancheng's plan to return to the mortal world went just a tiny bit off course.

He was supposed to return to his rightful place at twenty, but an anomaly in the passage between the two worlds dragged him back by accident.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I may be illiterate in the mortal world, but I can be a rookie in showbiz.

All I need to do is enjoy the sunshine, good food, and fluffy things. When my time is up, I'll naturally return to the Underworld.

But the mortal world is murkier than the River of Forgetfulness:

The moment I open my eyes, a vengeful ghost is trying to claim my life in the middle of the night, drawing me into a gruesome murder case.

Strange things keep happening around me, as if an unseen hand is stirring up trouble.

Yan Shenzhi has the script of a reborn man in his hands, yet finds himself trapped in a dead end.

In his previous life, he stood at the top as a movie star, only to lose his family and be consumed by flames in an instant. When he opens his eyes again, he abandons his path to fame and signs on for this “death variety show.”

All for one variable: Zhu Nancheng.

The sight of the young man subduing a vengeful ghost with his bare hands is the first crack in his endless darkness.

The young man's clean, sun-warmed presence is the only thing his ice-cold soul longs for.

He bets everything on seizing this chance at life.

Zhu Nancheng, watching the movie star cling to him and ask to be partners, sighs and bundles himself up in his little blanket: My retirement plan is postponed indefinitely. New line of work: saving my (future) partner?

Yan Shenzhi pulls him and the blanket into his arms, resting his chin lightly on the soft crown of his head. His voice is hoarse: “Mm, my partner. You saved my life, so I'll repay you with mine. I'll hand over my paycheck and devote the rest of my life to you. Give me a chance, boss?”
