Meng Qingci, the Underworld’s top Lady Meng, is the ultimate overachiever.
She’s been number one in sales of Lady Meng’s Soup by a mile, grinding away for three hundred years.
At long last, she makes it to retirement, reincarnates into a wealthy family, and swears she’ll spend this life lazing around, living off others and waiting to die.
On her third day of slacking off, a merit System pops up: Merit points: -10,086. Your soul is about to be scattered.
Forced back into the workforce.
She uses Lady Meng’s Soup recipe to save her grandfather after he’s cursed.
She uses the Book of Life and Death as her personal gossip diary.
She summons Black and White Impermanence as temps to scare off the competition.
The Underworld’s entire work chat explodes.
The top trending topic: “The overachiever returns to work. Truly terrifying!”
Worse still, her old nemesis from a past life, Judge Lu, moves into the villa next door.
In a sharp suit, he knocks on her door without a trace of expression. “Your KPIs and mine. We’ll work more efficiently if we combine them.”
The Underworld forum immediately posts a photo of them looking at each other from their balconies.
Caption: “They’re living together! The whole spirit world is losing its mind shipping them.”
A malfunctioning System makes them share physical pain. She sprains her ankle, and he limps too. He gets scraped, and her arm bruises.
Comments flood in: “Kiss already! Merit points +10,086!”
The King of Hell personally starts writing fanfiction in exchange for a vacation.
Black and White Impermanence moonlight as fan club admins and put out merch.
Meng Qingci breaks down: “I just want to retire. Why is the whole Underworld trying to force me into a relationship?”
Then a century-old marriage contract appears on the Judge’s Brush.
It turns out that when she got the judge drunk back then, what she signed wasn’t a retirement agreement at all
It was the “Joint Retirement Plan for Husband and Wife to Reincarnate Together as Mortals.”
