I’m a Ghost Tycoon, and I Bought the Cursed House from the Start

The apocalypse arrives, and countless ghosts run rampant. Lin Zhou inherits the bloodline of a Judge of the Underworld, but instead of fighting and killing, he embarks on a unique career as a ghost landlord. He transforms his family’s ancestral home, once used to “guard the household,” into a safe house and rents it out to powerful evil spirits seeking shelter in the apocalypse. Faced with prickly tenants like Kayako, Sadako, and the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Lin Zhou wields the Book of Life and Death and the Judge’s Brush, enforcing tough terms like “three months’ deposit, three hundred million netherworld coins a month” and turning crises into business opportunities. Amid daily life that is equal parts terrifying and hilarious, he not only builds up the capital he needs to survive by collecting rent, but also starts plotting to use his own advantages and “client base” to launch all kinds of unbelievable ventures, from “Underworld Express” to “Grudge Recycling.” Determined to carve out an unconventional path to a business empire in the ghost world, he sets out across this desperate wasteland.
