My best friend pushed me into a hell of vengeful ghosts with her own hands!
She held out a shimmering set of press-on nails and said she had a surprise for me.
I believed her.
Then a searing pain shot through my fingertips, and the ghosts’ bloodcurdling howls exploded in my ears.
Only then did I realize that they weren’t some cute accessories at all. They were sacrificial artifacts sealing away a hundred thousand vengeful ghosts!
She was terminally ill, and she wanted to trade my life for her own!
I struggled until the seal shattered. A hundred thousand ghosts poured out and dragged me into the River of Forgetfulness.
That was when I first met the King of the Underworld.
He had a face that could topple kingdoms, long black hair, bewitching eyes, and six-pack abs. He was so sexy it was hard to breathe.
He said he’d let me return to the twenty-first century after I captured all one hundred thousand ghosts.
I gritted my teeth and went into full grind mode!
I didn’t care if they were thousand-year-old spirits or vicious evil ghosts. If they got in the way of earning my ticket home, I’d knock them all flat!
On the day the ghosts rioted, the abyss split open like a gaping maw, and countless evil spirits surged out. He stood atop the black clouds and reached out to me, his voice low and alluring. “Tao Tao, come with me.”
I flung out a binding rope instead. “Go where? There are so many ghosts. This is the perfect chance to catch them all at once. You’re the last one I need to get home!”
Catch ghosts and get home as soon as possible. That was my ultimate goal!
But when all one hundred thousand ghosts had been apprehended, a shocking secret hit me completely out of the blue.
I had released the real demon sealed inside my nail!
This transmigration, which had seemed like an accident, was a huge conspiracy aimed at me from the very beginning!
And the King of the Underworld’s queen had been hiding a secret from the start.
