Qin Ze grew up in an orphanage. From a young age, he knew he was different from other kids and could only rely on himself.
First, he struggled his way into university as the top student in the national college entrance exam. He finished his degree on a scholarship, then struggled his way into a government job.
Just as a good life was finally within reach, and he was about to start his new post, disaster struck: he was hit by a car and killed!!!
The car was going so fast that he died on the spot.
Qin Ze floated in midair, looking down at his battered body lying motionless on the ground. For a moment, he couldn’t process what he was seeing.
When he finally understood what had happened, he completely lost it. He spread his arms, looked up at the heavens, and let out a long howl.
"Heavens, why do you always pick on me, the poor soul who’s had such a hard life?"
Well, dead is dead. What else could he do? It’s not as if he could come back to life.
But Qin Ze had made up his mind: he didn’t want to be reincarnated.
He’d been so tired in this life! He didn’t want to go through it all over again.
Being a ghost was great. No need to eat or drink.
In the underworld, Qin Ze watched everyone else scramble to reincarnate. He felt nothing at all and even watched the commotion with great interest.
One day, the underworld issued an announcement saying that a newly established department was hiring. Those who passed the exam could become government employees of the underworld, with meals and accommodation provided, plus a monthly salary in ghost money.
Looking at his clothes, which were nearly falling to pieces, Qin Ze clapped his hands and stood up.
Fine, for the sake of a good life, he’d make one last effort!
P.S. Some worlds have a CP, and some don’t.
