After working late into the night, office worker Lin Xiaoman gets chased by a ghost? She stumbles into the Underworld’s Lake of Longing, catches the King of Hell, Mo Yuan, taking a bath (crossed out), and ends up forced to live with the aloof heartthrob! When an ice-cold King of Hell who’s lived for thousands of years meets an overworked modern employee, things quickly get out of hand.
- He fries an egg in the microwave: “What kind of evil contraption is this?”
- He hacks a sofa with VR goggles on: “Demon! Take my sword!”
- He joins Granny Meng’s livestream: “The King of Hell has a crush on a human woman? The evidence is conclusive!”
The icy King of Hell turns into a big, puppy-like boyfriend who takes care of all the housework and doubles as his girlfriend’s bodyguard, only to be mocked by the heroine: “You’re a less reliable King of Hell than my client is!”
