Zhou Yifei is an unlucky young man who graduated from a top-tier university but ended up delivering takeout. After saving the Earth God’s life, he gains the ability to see spirits and receives a job offer from the underworld. From then on, he delivers food by day and works as a soul-catching officer by night.
On his first day on the job, he runs into the underworld’s biggest holdout: Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. This ghost king has been causing trouble in the City of the Wrongfully Dead for three hundred years, and no one can handle him. But Zhou Yifei wins him over with a food delivery and a few words of common sense. The proud Xiang Yu becomes Zhou’s sharpest weapon, while Xiang Yu’s beloved Yu Ji accompanies them in another way, bringing a gentle warmth to the team.
Meanwhile, Su Tanya, a soul-catching officer who is the incarnation of the Ming dynasty’s woman general Qin Liangyu, looks down on this unorthodox rookie. But then she discovers that this deliveryman can use modern thinking to solve cases that have stumped the underworld for centuries: optimizing soul-collection routes with algorithms, easing millennia-old grudges through good customer service, and tackling a financial crisis with the idea of an “Underworld IPO.” The aloof general’s heart begins to soften.
With historical luminaries and mythological figures such as Wei Zheng, Zhuge Liang, and Zhong Kui secretly pulling strings, Zhou Yifei overcomes one challenge after another. He topples conservative judges, foils the schemes of the Celestial Court’s pampered heirs, and ultimately uncovers the shocking secret of an ancient outer-realm evil god corrupting reincarnation. As the Ten Yama Kings retire one after another, the name written on the throne of the King of Hell, watched by all three realms, is that of a deliveryman.
He didn’t rely on his fists or his connections. He relied on the one thing behind his 99.9 percent five-star rating: being dependable.
