I Landed a Government Job in the Underworld Through Part-Time Work

Lin Xiaoman, an office drone earning 3,500 yuan a month, works herself to the brink of death over the National Day holiday. Then the old washing machine in her rented apartment suddenly goes wild. A golden light shoots out of the spin-dry button, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face burst out of the drum, tossing her an underworld subcontract: “Part-time grim reaper. Annual salary of 500,000 yuan plus a permanent position. Performance tied to five-star reviews. In or out?” To pay off her Huabei debt and cover her parents' social insurance, she signs on the spot. But her very first assignment goes wrong: a lost child's soul gets abducted by the ghost of a human trafficker. Exceed the time limit and she'll lose years of her life, and even if she pays the penalty, she'll need a good review from the soul! Born with extraordinary empathy and the ability to see and communicate with spirits, Lin Xiaoman can see through their obsessions and is also skilled at using modern-world tactics to outsmart them. She uses anti-fraud scripts to handle evil ghosts, exposes clues to wrongful convictions through livestreams, and organizes spirit files in Excel, turning the underworld workplace into a cutthroat battleground! From an “afterlife subcontractor” mocked by the grim reapers to a workaholic Judge who crushes the well-connected and tears apart the underworld's corrupt officials, she unlocks perks such as converting spirit money to cash, school district housing, and extra years of life for relatives. The boss who exploited her and the predatory online loan company get what's coming to them! Along the way, she has the protection of Ox-Head, a tough-talking but soft-hearted milk tea addict, and Horse-Face, a cool-headed powerhouse. The sharp-tongued, upright official Xie Qing also takes her under his wing. The Matchmaker's dating app needs her repairs, Granny Meng's new soup needs her to promote it, the King of Hell's annual report needs her to make a PowerPoint, and the fallen Judge Xuansha stands in her way! Lin Xiaoman pulls out her underworld employee badge, her gaze sharp: “I'll do any job for a permanent position! My knowledge of the living world is my ultimate weapon!” This is a laugh-out-loud, action-packed hit packed with satisfying moments. Watch office drone Lin Xiaoman turn her life around in both the living world and the underworld, secure a permanent position, and reach the peak of success!
