Jiang Zhi died, tripping over a pebble.
Only after reaching the Underworld did she learn that the culprits were the two black-and-white guardians of the dead, who had bad eyesight.
To return to life, she had no choice but to work in the Underworld as a "living emissary."
Her wonderful life as the daughter of a billionaire was ruined, and now she had to work for the Underworld for free.
Lord Yama, take a look and tell me if this is fair!
Luckily, the living-emissary job was easy, with little work and even less trouble.
They even thoughtfully assigned her a colleague.
His surname was Xie, his given name Wenyu. He was handsome, but more importantly, he turned a blind eye to Jiang Zhi's idiotic antics.
When Jiang Zhi let a target escape, he looked up at the sky. When she beat up the boss, he silently handed her a knife. When she argued with someone, he stood to the side and took her part.
This definitely had something to do with all the good deeds she'd done before she died!
Later, Jiang Zhi passed a dilapidated temple. Seeing the Buddha's compassionate expression, she was about to go in and pay her respects.
Xie Wenyu caught her by the wrist and gently drew her to his side.
The breeze stirred the hair by his ear. His voice was calm:
"Worship me. I'm a god too."
*
Xie Wenyu had lived for a very long time.
Long enough for the mortal realm to change dynasties countless times, long enough for him to forget that he had once sat high upon an altar, receiving offerings of incense.
He thought things would go on like that forever.
Until one day, he met Jiang Zhi.
His dead heart began beating again, and memories he thought had vanished returned.
He had met her before, a thousand years ago.
Back then, her frail figure had stood in front of him, her voice clear and bright:
"You're an immortal. You shouldn't be stranded in the Underworld."
Xie Wenyu answered softly, "Then I wouldn't have met you." Then he resolutely stepped out from behind Jiang Zhi to face the rolling thunder.
The heavenly tribulation struck. His memories faded, and he lost his powers.
The Ninth Heaven could no longer keep him, so he was forced to drift into the Underworld.
After a thousand years of waiting, the exiled minor deity finally saw again the figure he'd met a millennium ago.

Before You Read
1. One-on-one, both leads are virgins. The story and romance are split evenly. Slow burn, slow burn!
2. The setting is entirely my own. I make the rules.
3. The only side couple in this story is Chang Qingshan and Liu Qingluo. Everyone else is just friends.
4. A fantasy story about catching demons, with no paranormal elements.
5. No transmigration. The blurb uses fairly modern wording, but the main text won't.

01
The day before starting university, Shi Qi had nowhere to stay, so her kind benefactor let her stay at their house.
A woman opened the door to greet her. She seemed to be the benefactor's wife.
After Shi Qi greeted her a little awkwardly, the woman smiled and showed her around the house.
The woman took her through every corner of the house except for the locked room on the second floor.
Just as Shi Qi was about to ask what was different about that room, she heard a very soft click.
Shi Qi turned toward the sound. A shock of dazzling blond hair filled her entire field of vision.
Then she saw a pair of clear, emerald-green eyes.
The woman introduced him. "This is Tang Cunmo, my son. He's a few years older than you."
Shi Qi was confused. The woman looked Chinese, so how could she have a son with blond hair and green eyes?
The woman seemed to see her confusion and added, "We're not related by blood, though."
Shi Qi nodded. When she looked up at the second floor again, the blond hair had disappeared from view, and the bedroom door had shut tight.
The woman smiled apologetically. "Sorry about that. He's a bit rebellious."
02
After dinner, Shi Qi knocked on the locked door on the second floor.
"Hi, I brought you a present."
The door opened quickly. Tang Cunmo leaned lazily against the doorframe. Maybe he'd just lost a game, because he didn't look very interested. He mumbled, "Give it to me."
Shi Qi saw his porcelain-white palm and a few strands of hair falling over his shoulder.
For some reason, she reached out without thinking and tidied his hair for him.
When she was done, she realized her ears were burning. She didn't dare look up, so she naturally missed the faint blush that appeared on the man's face and vanished an instant later.
The air was still, and the awkwardness was palpable. Even someone slow on the uptake would have realized something was off.
In her panic, Shi Qi looked into his green eyes and tried to lighten the mood. "Your eyes are really beautiful."
A smile played at the young man's lips. "Do you know what that means in the West?"
"Huh?" Shi Qi thought about it for a moment, but none of her books had mentioned it, so she couldn't find an answer.
Tang Cunmo reached out and twined a strand of hair that had fallen against Shi Qi's chest around his finger, over and over. "It's flirting."
03
After they got together, Shi Qi rested her head against Tang Cunmo's shoulder and asked him, "I heard that in the West, people take their husband's surname when they get married. But I don't want to be called Tang. How about you take my surname and become Shi Cunmo?"
Tang Cunmo glanced at her, his tone clearly dismissive. "Boring."
That evening, Shi Qi opened her phone and saw a new message at the top of her chat list.
[Shi Cunmo is calling you downstairs for dinner.]
Theme: Work hard, and refuse to slack off.
Recently, I have read too many wealthy bosses pursuing their wives and cute babies. I opened this book "Colleagues from Underworld Are Gods" for a change. The copywriting immediately attracted me, a woman like an eagle... Is the night still long? I want to see how long the night between the male and female protagonists can last? (Hiahiahia... The smile gradually becomes obscene) The author has excellent writing skills. Whether it is the cold atmosphere of the underworld, the bustle and weirdness of the ghost market, or the splendid shock of the fireworks display, just a few strokes outline a strong sense of picture, full of ancient style atmosphere, and many scenes are lifelike, especially the description of the blood butterfly that makes me crazy, which makes me dare not fall asleep for a long time... The rhythm of the plot is also smart and smooth, from the heroine being seduced by mistake and joining the underworld, to killing monsters in the square house, to the haunted city, to the shocking reversal of Yuanyin's identity, the main line is clear and not procrastinating, the foreshadowing is cleverly recycled and silky, high-energy reversals are interspersed with warm details... This is a treasure of ancient Chinese fantasy novels that exceeded my expectations. Yes, I give it a big thumbs up! I think not many people are reading it now because the number of words is too small, and they are probably waiting to gain weight~ Anyway, I haven't found any reason to persuade them to quit~ Now let's talk about my favorite character creation. There is no flat tool person in the whole story. Every character is three-dimensional and vivid. The more you taste it, the more interesting it becomes! The heroine Jiang Zhi has a self-consistent logic and a clear growth line. She is the daughter of the richest man in the capital. She has a charming and arrogant character, but she is by no means a spoiled fool. When she is seduced by Black and White, she calmly fights with reason and joins the underworld to work in Wu Chang. She has a clear goal, an online IQ, a multi-faceted and real personality, she is very cute and has a lot of brains and wisdom~ The male protagonist Xie Jiuyu is the kind of god-like male protagonist who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. He has a sense of suu and a sense of atmosphere, and his character is very charming. He has a mysterious identity and unfathomable strength. He has the indifference and alienation of a god. He usually talks little and is reserved. He seems to be unkind, but he gives all his tenderness and preference to Jiang Zhi. When he and Jiang Zhi perform tasks, he will always be the most reliable backup. Shield, when Jiang Zhi was possessed by the flower demon, he protected her in time, and the crowd in the ghost market silently separated the crowd for her... He never deliberately sensationalizes, but uses detailed actions to protect her silently. He hides the secrets of the gods' past, and he is doting and caring under his indifferent appearance. He is restrained and affectionate. This type of male protagonist with strong strength and gentle protection is indeed very heartwarming! The supporting cast is equally brilliant, with a full sense of contrast between black and white characters. Xie Bi'an is free from comedy and loves petty gains, and Fan Wujiu is reliable, calm and reserved. The two exchange daily contract jokes are full of laughter, which makes the atmosphere of the workplace in the underworld lively and real. In the first chapter, the two cover each other and want to destroy the heroine's soul. It is really real. It looks like my colleague who got into trouble with me hahahaha! There is also the ghost market raccoon slave Yue Ji, who is charming and loyal. She seems ignorant but hides the secrets of the ghost market. Her actions are logical and consistent with her identity. Even characters such as Mrs. Fang, Flower Demon, Yuan Yin, etc. Also have complete behavioral motivations. From infatuation to madness, from disguise to appearance, the character arc is complete and is by no means a supporting role that simply promotes the plot. By the way, I have seen the latest chapter and I really want to know when Xie Jiuyu's identity as a god will be revealed? I also really want to see how Jiang Zhi completes the mission step by step and returns to the world, and I also want to know more details about the two-way journey of this pair of gods... All in all, "Colleagues from the Underworld Are Gods" is a very sincere and excellent work, with a novel setting and a comfortable writing style. Whether you are a fan of fantasy adventures or a sister who prefers sweet and warm CP lines, this book is worth collecting and enriching. I hope the author will not give up. Your writing is really great ~
I haven't seen such a novel setting in a long time. The story is probably about the heroine seducing the wrong soul due to impermanence and coming to the underworld to "work". The setting is very innovative and the plot line is very interesting! The writing style is not gorgeous, but it is concise, clear and precise, without too many redundant words, but it is very penetrating in the description. In short, the rhythm of description is extremely well controlled, giving people a very immersive and non-jumping reading experience. Especially when reading the more terrifying scenes, it is really very picturesque... It gives people a chilling and frightening feeling. It can be seen that the author has a strong ability to control the rhythm of the article! In terms of character, the heroine gave me a very human feeling. She is cute, smart, courageous, indulgent but not squeamish. Especially when she first questioned Impermanence, she was very cute and a very human sister, but not reckless. She also seemed very calm and wise when it came to solving problems. Especially the action and words at the beginning asking if anyone would like to take her in for a night. It was really cute! 🥺The male protagonist is also very likeable, very boyish, with restrained tenderness and tolerance hidden in his bones. He is simply called the "boyish dad". This slightly contrasting setting is really cool... The two colleagues work together, and the atmosphere of boys and girls is very vigorous. As for the description of the supporting characters, each supporting character has his or her own little movements and unique language, which perfectly portrays the character's personality. The description of Yue Ji is really cute... (By the way, the description of Mrs. Fang is also very good. It makes people feel sad. Although it is not long, you can feel the resentment in Mrs. Fang's heart) In terms of cp cuteness, the female protagonist is lively and the male protagonist is gentle. The pull is very strong. From some small details, it can be revealed that it is sweet but not greasy. It does not belong to the industrial saccharine atmosphere. Moreover, judging from the actions of the male protagonist, it can be seen that his bond with the female protagonist will become deeper and deeper in the future, and it is deep for a reason, which can be traced forward. The plot setting is full of ups and downs, which makes it not boring to watch. It makes you want to continue reading. The twists and turns are very novel. I couldn't predict the direction of the plot for several waves. The connection between the square house and the ghost market is very natural, and the transition to the next plot is smooth and interlocking. When reading A Man and the Ghost, that creepy feeling arose spontaneously. It made people feel very scary and wanted to know the plot in the future. It is a unique Chinese grotesque aesthetic. 🥺 [Let me be healthy] Aman also gave people a sad feeling when he got on the sedan chair, and when he learned that Yuanyin was the gathering of the souls of many girls, it was really shocking... I feel that the author can write about some of the problems that exist in society without showing any expression, which is natural and not blunt. I rarely read fantasy books, but this one gives me a strong desire to continue reading. I want to know whether more interesting little ghosts will appear, whether the brave heroine's baby can come back to life and the direction of her illness, the hero's self-denial and true identity, the emotional tension between the two people, and the various things that happen between the world and the underworld. Whether sad or happy, it has a strong appeal. 🤩🤩 I look forward to Gugu continuing to write. I want to read cute stories about boys and girls. Reading them gives me a feeling of vitality and can make my mood become younger (?) It is a very interesting article. I hope the more I write, the better!
It's beautiful. It's the first time I've seen the setting of Guizhan. I'm looking forward to the follow-up ❤️
Hahaha, that's so apt [], it's simply a sharp comment []
The author writes well!!! So pretty [hugs thigh]
I took a look at the update status. Is it finished or not updated?? I came here originally after seeing the copy of Blonde Blue Eyes. Is the author still writing it?? Don't you dare to jump into the pit like this?
When will this copy end? It's so long.
The copy is better looking. Maybe the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not complete yet, but in fact they didn't hit the [panda head] too much.
Master and Luoluo are enjoying themselves!
So does Xie Wen have any memories from the past? It feels like the relationship changed so suddenly.
