[The Grim Reaper Forced to Work in the Human World + Strong Female Lead + No Romance + Unhinged Heroine + Hilarious + Memes + Power Fantasy + Modern Fantasy + Supernatural + Subverting Expectations]

Lin Xiaoye, 21, is a college student with the worst luck. A part-time job accidentally landed her in a scam ring, earning her four years behind bars. Just as she’s about to be released, the real Grim Reaper corners her in prison: “Young lady, you’ve got an extraordinary bone structure. How about signing this Grim Reaper Employment Agreement?”

Forced into a thousand years of cutthroat competition: In a pocket dimension where time runs a hundred times faster, she has to meet the Grim Reaper’s KPIs. Fail to learn, and she dies. When she gets out, only four days have passed in the outside world, but she’s already earned her Grim Reaper certification and a permanent position in the underworld, along with a whole bundle of skills from top-tier cutthroat careers, including master chef, movie star, and miracle doctor.

Back in the human world, her life takes a wild turn. By day, she’s a notorious lunatic in showbiz, going viral for live-streaming the demolition of haunted houses. By night, she’s a government-certified “temporary worker,” chasing evil spirits all over town with benefits and a pension.

Then she discovers...

A top-tier star has put an “appetite curse” on her, a delivery guy has been sucked dry by a “sloth monster,” and a poker-faced prodigy of the mystic arts wants to team up with her: “Let’s work together. I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

And outside the property management office of the haunted apartment complex she just bought, an old willow tree is frantically banging on the window: “Grim Reaper! There’s an evil god buried under your building, and the cult next door wants to tear the place down every day!”

Lin Xiaoye: ...

Is it too late to go back to prison?
