I Arrange Funerals for the Dead, but They Come to the Living World to Sue Me

The living world has its laws, and the underworld keeps its accounts. One person sows the cause, and the whole village pays the debt.

After death, souls return to the underworld, where they are judged for every deed they committed in life. The Ten Courts of Yama sentence them to punishment in hell.

Dying in the living world does not settle the account.

Whatever you fail to repay in this life carries over to the next. Karma does not end just because a person dies; those who reap their due in this life will be repaid in the next.

Chi Jianwei is the keeper of this ledger of cause and effect.

She is the heir to the Underworld’s Register of Cases.

Cases that cannot be judged in the living world are brought to her by the ghosts themselves.

The powerful and wealthy may be able to buy influence in the living world. They cannot buy their way out of karma.

The scripture in her hands once had 999 pages. Now only seven remain.

Each page she judges costs her one year of life.

Judge a case incorrectly, and the backlash of karma will double the years she loses.

On the day all seven case files are filled, the scripture will close, and the name of its representative will also be erased from the Book of Life and Death.

How long she lives

depends entirely on what she earns for herself.
