Usually, if someone is called a “living Yama,” they’re probably not a very good person. But if you use that term for Lu Changyan... well, you’d be right.
Because Lu Changyan really is a “living Yama,” officially appointed and everything: the actual Yama.
You’d think such a flashy job would inspire ambition, or at least a little courage, but Lu Changyan just wants a vacation.
Vengeful ghost: “How can a piece of work like you be a King of Hell?!”
Lu Changyan: “...”
As if I wanted this lousy job!
From the day Lu Changyan somehow found out that he was the one and only living Yama in the human world, bad luck became his inseparable companion.
First, one careless step cost him dearly. Thanks to his uncanny talent for arson, he was already “distinguished at a young age” in high school, landing on the wanted-criminal watch list. Then he was forced to give up the cushy life of a rich young master and seek meaning in life, falling into the clutches of the Special Circumstances Supervision and Management Bureau. There, he became one of the many overworked wage slaves, albeit an exceptionally handsome and dashing one.
At a prestigious high school, two students jump to their deaths within three days, then an entire class falls into mortal danger. What lies behind the tragedy?
What could be growing, nourished by the living used as fertilizer?
Who can escape the vast web woven from confusion?
What secrets lie hidden in the forbidden grounds so fiercely guarded by the great families?
Life and death, past and present, causes and consequences: they raise a fog that obscures everything. The truth watches the people shrouded in mist with cold indifference, while danger lurks within, waiting to strike.
As an official specialist tasked with handling these incidents, Lu Changyan works so much overtime that his vision goes black. Amid a crowd of rich second-generation heirs who dabble in every kind of debauchery, he somehow remains a spotless oddball. But just as he is about to earn his wizard status, he bounces back from rock bottom and misses out on becoming a wizard, achieving instead the ultimate urban-legend romance-brain milestone: going to the doctor and falling for the doctor.
He thought it was just one-sided love at first sight, sparked by the doctor’s good looks. But things don’t seem to be quite as he imagined. Why does Dr. Liang look at him so strangely?
