Healing by Contract: Notes of a Netherworld Counselor

As an unofficial employee of the Underworld’s “Office of Emotional Restoration,” Su Ye’s KPIs are always unusual. One of them is to help a young CEO, tormented by the scars of his youth and destined to die young, feel the warmth of the human world again. The Underworld’s recommended “high-efficiency solution” turns out to be a marriage contract in the mortal realm. So the professional counselor, who also moonlights as a spirit-world civil servant, takes on her most challenging case yet, along with a “husband.” When he trembles in his nightmares, she quietly soothes him with her professional skills. When memories of his bullying come back to haunt him, she shows him their contract: “Let’s work together. I’ll heal your heart, and you’ll give me your name.” Shen Li never imagined that the woman who came for a “mission” would become the only light in his pitch-black world. And she never expected that this contract, which began as a KPI, would ultimately require her to give him all her love and even give up her special status in exchange for his lifelong happiness and peace.
