Mu Qingguang, the foremost immortal of the Upper Realm, is the undisputed queen of overwork. Every day of the year, every hour of the day, she is working without a moment's rest.
She takes her duties too seriously and incurs the wrath of everyone, until the Immortal Realm hunts her down and everyone wants her dead.
Mu Qingguang reflects deeply and decides to fake her death.
After escaping, she becomes an unofficial employee of the Ghost Realm. Mu Qingguang lies flat and takes it easy, slacking off every day. She puts off her boss's assignments whenever she can, and if she can't, she makes sure not to do them properly. Even while guarding a gate, she multitasks, never forgetting to snack on sunflower seeds and gossip.
But as she lies there, somehow she ends up with followers everywhere, wins the admiration of all the heroes, and her boss steps down in her favor and runs off faster than a rabbit.
Mu Qingguang panics and shoves her boss back onto the throne. "If you run away, who's going to do the work?"
Her boss works through tears while Mu Qingguang is content to slip back to the gate and slack off.
Legend has it that the great demon imprisoned behind the gate is cruel by nature, having slaughtered gods and immortals and committed countless heinous crimes.
One day, as ten thousand ghosts howl, the Gate of Hell, sealed for three thousand years, swings open
Inside stands a man in simple white robes, peerlessly elegant, with a vermilion mark between his brows, captivating all who see him.
Mu Qingguang drops her sunflower seeds everywhere. This great demon is none other than the once-revered, unsullied Buddha of the mortal world.
Much later, Mu Qingguang learns the truth
After she died, the Buddha of the mortal world, long known for his noble character and compassionate heart, emerged from the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
That day, her body sat atop a raised platform. The cool, handsome man slaughtered his way before her, blood flowing like a river beneath his sword, while ten thousand stars fell behind him.
Afterward, he sealed himself beneath the Eighteenth Level of Hell, suffering the agony of boiling water and fire day and night, enduring excruciating pain to atone for all his sins.
She was the sin he could never atone for in this life.
