Top-Tier Star Judge

The entertainment industry's top-tier star, the Underworld's strongest, and its sharp-tongued cat judge on the bottom x the lawless captain of the criminal police, King Yama's rebellious son on top

Synopsis

Lin Qiyue, a newly risen top-tier star and darling of the film industry, is pushed off a cliff by a rival actor from his own production while filming on location.

The good news: He didn't die.

The even better news: That shove sent him straight to the Underworld, where he remembered his true identity.

He was the Underworld's youngest and most capable judge. After offending King Yama, he'd been demoted to the human world.

He hadn't met his KPI, so he was sent back to the mortal realm.

The bad news: He'd turned into a cat.

The even worse news: His archenemy took him home.

Lu Li, King Yama's most rebellious youngest son and captain of the Special Investigations criminal police team, is one of the few "humans" with the ability to see spirits.

Lin Qiyue's demotion to the mortal world had everything to do with Lu Li.

But Lu Li seemed to have forgotten his own identity, too.

The bad news: Only Lu Li can see Lin Qiyue's soul, which is attached to the cat.

The bad news: Only Lu Li can talk to Lin Qiyue.

The bad news: Lin Qiyue discovers that only frequent physical contact with Lu Li can keep his pitiful trace of yang energy from dissipating. The more often and intensely they touch, the longer he can maintain his human form.

To finish his KPI as quickly as possible, Lin Qiyue gritted his teeth, shut his eyes, and kissed him.

He was just a cat, after all!

As they kissed, he turned back into a human.

Lin Qiyue: ...

Keeping ghosts, secretly cultivating sinister schemes, trading one life for another... The entertainment industry's demons and monsters will stop at nothing for fame and fortune.

After several years as a police officer, Lu Li accidentally took a half-dead little ghost home. Only then did he remember his true identity.

If he meets the KPI set by King Yama, he can return to the Underworld and resume his life as its crown prince.

The bad news: He'll have to do it alongside his archenemy, Lin Qiyue.

Lin Qiyue may be handsome, but his personality has never been compatible with Lu Li's.

To sum it up in one word: stubborn!

A cold-blooded judge, impartial and utterly heartless, an empty shell of a ghost.

But Lin Qiyue seems a little different as a cat.

He's constantly clinging to him. Fine, Lu Li can tolerate a cat.

He crawls into Lu Li's arms every night to sleep. Lu Li: ...Is this normal?

One night, as they sleep, the cat turns into a person. The moment he's transformed, he tries to slip away, but Lu Li grabs him by the waist and pulls him back. "Shy?"

Lin Qiyue: ...

At first, they only hugged, until one day Lin Qiyue accidentally discovered:

Kissing worked better.

And sex worked best of all.
