Du Ruo had no official position in the Celestial Court. He was merely the Matchmaker's apprentice.
Du Ruo was afraid of the dark and of ghosts, yet his teacher, whose ideas were anything but conventional, sent him to the underworld for an internship.
The underworld never saw daylight. It was bleak and desolate, with green ghost flames drifting everywhere.
It was dark, and there were ghosts everywhere. Du Ruo felt this was truly a death sentence, and whether he’d survive was a mystery worthy of discussion over tea for years to come.
What did the Matchmaker do? He brought people together and helped them find love. Was Du Ruo being sent to the underworld to match ghosts with one another?
Before he could start matchmaking ghosts, he felt he had to keep himself alive and avoid being scared to death. Only then could he achieve his grand ambitions for generations to come.
Looking at the ghosts running all over the place, he realized he had no idea where to begin!
Du Ruo: I long for the light, but I’m willing to descend into darkness for you!
Xuan Yi: You said you were afraid of the dark, so I’ll give you a bright and shining hell.
Theme: To hold your hand and stand by your side.
