A Pact in Ink for Eternal Life

Office drone Qin Fei dies suddenly and is dragged through the underworld by Black and White Impermanence, shackled with soul chains. By a twist of fate, his soul crosses into another world on the Road to the Yellow Springs, where he comes back to life. After merging with the original host's memories, he learns that people here can cultivate immortality and live forever, but it takes money. The original host, however, squandered three generations' worth of savings chasing after a girl!

To attain immortality, Qin Fei starts settling debts as soon as he wakes up. He makes sauce liquor, signs equity contracts, and negotiates national destiny with the imperial court...

Having lived two lives and signed countless contracts, there's one contract he can only have someone else read to him, because he can't read...

Contract Title: The Immortality Pact

Qin Fei asks, "What happens if I sign?"

The other party replies, "You'll live forever."

When Qin Fei hears that he can live forever, he signs.

Much later, Qin Fei finally discovers that the contract not only grants immortality, but is also a marriage certificate...
