Lin Wan, an overworked office drone, dies suddenly from working overtime and opens her eyes to find she’s been hired by the Underworld’s Emotional Comfort Department. The afterlife has turned into an internet company: merits count as performance metrics, being late means a pay cut, and the bottom-ranked employees get sent to scrub oil cauldrons.
The King of Hell has a receding hairline and brews goji berries, the Judge carries a Hello Kitty stamp, White Impermanence is a fashion blogger, Black Impermanence is a master chef, and Meng Po has switched careers to sell milk tea. Every colleague is a full-blown drama queen, and the contrast between their jobs and personalities is off the charts.
As Lin Wan comforts one bizarre ghost after another, her colleagues keep setting her up, making her laugh so hard she can’t keep up her professional facade. She desperately racks up merits in hopes of returning to the mortal world. It’s nonstop laughs with no angst, and the afterlife office is constantly caught up in cutthroat workplace competition, until the King of Hell is frantically docking her merits for laughing!
