Workplace Rules for the Underworld in the New Era

Are there ghosts in this world?

In modern society, where most people would deny it, Ji Yunchen, a responsible young man of the new era, can tell you with certainty: yes, there are.

Born with Yin-Yang Eyes, he encounters ghosts as part of daily life. All kinds of ghosts have shaped the first eighteen years of his life.

It was fate that he would meet Bei Yan, the legendary King of Hell and the ruler of the underworld in this era.

The times are changing, and so is the underworld.

Once at the height of its power, the underworld now runs with a lean staff. Having been away from the human world for so long, Bei Yan is a little out of practice when it comes to handling human affairs.

And that is when Ji Yunchen appears.

- Though terrified of ghosts, he has a strong sense of responsibility and can't help getting involved in their business.

- Highly capable, with maxed-out perception. Apart from his flaws, he's all good points.

- From a wealthy family, with plenty of spending money, he's a very promising long-term meal ticket.

Hei Wuchang, representing the underworld, sends Ji Yunchen an invitation to team up.

And thanks to his special constitution, Ji Yunchen also needs the underworld's protection.

So they choose each other, their talks go smoothly, and he becomes an underworld employee. His job is to assist the King of Hell in tracking down the mastermind behind everything. In return, he gets the King of Hell himself as a long-term patron. From then on...

He crosses paths with ghosts even more often.

A senior who drowned in the icy depths of a lake, pacing outside a laboratory that never opens its door, staring eerily at everyone who enters.

A woman who took her own life, eyes wide open and unseeing, her blood and brains flowing into the filthy sewer.

A man who died on a photocopier, his grotesque death throes transformed into pages that whirl wildly around the office.

Obsessions keep the dead from entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Everyone who lives has something they can't let go of.

When someone exploits an obsession, it becomes a weapon.

Only much later does he learn that even the King of Hell, who controls the gates of life and death and seems to desire nothing, has an obsession of his own.

It is someone not even the waters of the River of Forgetfulness or a century of loneliness could erase.

-So we'd already met so long ago.

New novel: My Uncle Knows How to Cast Gu. Please add it to your collection!

Sunny Samoyed police academy student Luo Heng, top x gentle, beautiful-but-tragic Gu keeper Chi Yu, bottom

Su Youyou had been living a carefree life, but after her parents died in an accident overnight, the elementary-school student was left with her only remaining relative in the world as her guardian:

Her beautiful-but-tragic uncle had suddenly appeared. His name was Chi Yu.

Su Youyou thought:

Her uncle was very handsome, as handsome as her mother, and he wore his hair long too. He always smelled lovely.

Her uncle was gentle. Every day, he would braid her hair into pretty little plaits, take her to school, pick her up, and make all kinds of delicious food at home. When she got into trouble, he never got angry. Instead, he patiently explained how she should fix things.

Her uncle tinkered with strange things at home. Once, she saw strange patterns on his body.

Her uncle was so mysterious.

One day, the homeroom teacher from the class next door suddenly jumped from the school building. When her uncle took her to school, he looked at the teacher's body and sighed softly.

Lots of children had gone missing in the alley near their home. Her uncle would frown and stop by to check on it from time to time.

Her uncle said it was all the work of gu.

She didn't understand.

But a few days later, her uncle attracted a huge nuisance!

An older boy who hadn't even graduated from police academy yet!

That big brother kept following her uncle. At first, he did it on the sly, then he did it openly, and after that, he started coming over to their house!

Hmph!

Su Youyou declared:

Her uncle was a wonderful person!

The best person in the whole world!

How could that big brother not understand? He was so dumb!
