The Useless Prodigy Strikes Back: The Overbearing System Falls for Him

[Urban Eastern Fantasy + Transmigration + System + Male Second Lead Takes Center Stage + Human-Ghost Romance]

What a rotten game. She’s assigned to assist the Underworld’s most useless ghost-catching official, a corpse-collecting ghost. A ruthless Host, a single-minded demon hunter, Underworld officials abusing their power, a backlog of wrongful-death cases, and monsters gone mad.

*

She doesn’t even have a physical body, yet she still has monthly KPI targets, competing with colleagues for cases, quarterly assessments, annual promotions, and job competitions.

*

The male second lead takes center stage. The System, Yun Qingyue, likes the demon hunter Yan Muchuan. Yan Muchuan likes Sima Dun, a ghost-catching official who disguises himself as a woman. Sima Dun likes Yun Qingyue.

*

Sima Dun’s voice exploded in her mind, seething with fury: “System?! Yun Qingyue! Don’t you dare wear women’s clothes! And don’t use my body to get close to men!”

Yan Muchuan’s handsome eyes brimmed with tears as he stubbornly held her little hand. “I don’t care whether you’re a man or a woman!”

*

Her Host doesn’t believe in her, but she’s determined to prove herself. Step by step, she’ll kill her archrival, win the demon hunter, kick the Underworld’s bureaucrats to the curb, establish a new order between yin and yang, and become a notorious Ghost King.
