Su Wan, a 25-year-old product manager at a major internet company, works herself to death from overwork.
When she wakes, she discovers that the underworld is hiring. Hoping to earn enough merit points to return to life and extend her time in the world, she signs an Employment Agreement and becomes a trainee guide for the newly dead.
Her coworkers are Black and White Impermanence, her boss is a judge who has been an iceberg for ten thousand years, and the chatterbox little maid at the next desk is from the Republican era.
She thought it was just a temporary job, but then discovers that her identity in a past life is tied to the underworld’s greatest secret.
And when the aloof judge whispers “Stay” in her ear...
Su Wan suddenly feels that returning to life might not be quite so urgent after all.
