A bit-part actor by day, judge of life and death by night. This generation of overworked wage slaves has gone completely feral!
Song Qing is a nobody in the entertainment industry, so far down the billing list he might as well be number 360. He’s so broke he can hear his pockets echo, and he’s played more corpses than living people.
Then one night, he receives an offer from the [Underworld Digital Office Platform]: “We are hiring you as a ‘Temporary Assistant to the King of Hell.’ Enjoy benefits outside the underworld civil service, earn karmic merit daily, and redeem it for good fortune and popularity in the world of the living…”

And so, the entertainment industry gains a mysterious male star whose expressive eyes are divine and who always seems to be “lost in thought” on variety shows. Meanwhile, the underworld civil servants’ forum fills with hot posts: “Help! That living-soul assistant seems to have started another side hustle in the human world.
