After the college entrance exams, Chen Mo, a young man from a funeral shop, is busy looking for a summer job to earn his tuition.
A strange job listing lands him a temporary position in the Underworld.
His wages don’t come in red envelopes. They come in nether merit, which can be exchanged for anything.
Chen Mo plans to slack off, earn enough for tuition, and return to an ordinary life.
But his very first assignment is to rescue a campus beauty who is trying to take her own life.
Interfering with life and death earns him a deduction of three years from his lifespan.
Wait, I get years taken off my life for saving someone?
“I lost three years of my life saving you. You have to take responsibility for me!”
“Okay!”
“Wait, I was joking!”
One long-buried folk mystery after another comes to light, and wrongly slain ghosts appear in succession.
Chen Mo, who only wanted a quiet summer job: I just wanted to earn my tuition. How did I end up getting stronger and stronger?
Years later, during spiritual qi revival, Chen Mo is being questioned by the Jiuzhou Bureau of Anomalous Affairs.
“Someone at your level of supernatural ability has no authority to investigate me.”

It's a good read, not a typical wish-fulfillment novel, and has a good rhythm and structure.
This is the best book I've read recently. It's full of plot points, not a traditional supernatural story, and while it's innovative, it still retains a folk flavor.
It's great! I support the new book!
