I Work in the Underworld

After dying suddenly from overwork, 28-year-old programmer Lu Ming unexpectedly passes the underworld civil service exam and becomes an assistant judge in the Bureau of Reincarnation. With his knowledge of modern technology and programming skills, he solves one bizarre case after another in the underworld: from the disappearance of a ghost influencer and a hack of the Book of Life and Death System to the theft of Meng Po's soup recipe and a riot in the Eighteen Levels of Hell. As he investigates, Lu Ming gradually uncovers a shocking conspiracy buried deep within the underworld, one that threatens to overturn the balance between yin and yang. By day, he works at a tech company in the world of the living, having returned to life in another person's body. By night, he returns to the underworld to solve cases, navigating classic figures of the supernatural world like the King of Hell, Meng Po, and the Black and White Impermanence, using a modern mindset to tackle age-old ghostly mysteries.
