Zhai Liangzhi vs. Jiheng
Zhai Lianzhi vs. Jiheng
Present life: A clever, vengeful heroine who can be sweet or cool x a sinister, manipulative, possessive Lord of the Underworld
Past life: A powerful Dragon-Riding Goddess of War, at once cool and sweet x a possessive, carnivorous Black Dragon Lord of the Underworld from the Rakshasa Clan
She had just gotten into university when a sudden car accident took her life. She died before she could even experience university life.
Before she could react, two men in black-and-white coats came toward her, carrying thick iron chains.
On the Bridge of Helplessness, Zhai Liangzhi refused to drink Granny Meng's soup no matter what. She hadn't even kissed her boyfriend yet, and now she was dead. What a waste. Besides, her boyfriend was so handsome. To die without having slept with him even once left Zhai Liangzhi feeling completely cheated.
With no other choice, several ghosts held her down by the neck and forced bowl after bowl down her throat, but the soup had no effect on Zhai Liangzhi at all.
Bai Qi: "Is something wrong with your soup? Why isn't it working?"
Meng Jiu: "Impossible! There's absolutely nothing wrong with my soup."
As she spoke, Granny Meng ladled out a bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"What are you doing?!"
This proved that there was nothing wrong with the soup. The problem was Zhai Liangzhi herself. Hei Lin looked her up and down, fretting that he was going to miss his KPI target.
When Zhai Liangzhi learned she couldn't be reincarnated, she figured she couldn't go back anyway, so she might as well get a job in the Underworld. At the very least, she'd have a way to earn a living.
She spent several days wandering around the Underworld and got on well with the little ghosts, but couldn't find a suitable job.
Over those days, she saw all sorts of advanced systems and equipment in the Underworld. These days, the Underworld was managed with smart technology, but in a place like this, artificial intelligence seemed to slow down work instead.
Aside from its clear hierarchy and the fact that you never felt hungry there, Zhai Liangzhi thought it wasn't much different from the human world.
Bai Qi: "Why don't you take the civil service exam?"
"You have those here too? I thought civil servants only existed in the human world."
Bai Qi: "That's not true. How could the Lord of the Underworld run around managing such a vast place all by himself?"
"Can civil servants become the ruler of a territory?"
"Uh... yes," Bai Qi managed to stammer.
After hearing Bai Qi's suggestion, Zhai Liangzhi took a points System and returned to the human world under another person's identity. Watching her points creep up, she could only sigh to herself, "Early birds have early-bird souls. Those who get up early are all winners."
Bai Qi: "My Lord, is this really appropriate?"
Jiheng: "I'm just letting her have a little fun."
Jiheng: "I've waited thousands of years. What's a few more days?"
Bai Qi: "..."
Back in the human world, Zhai Liangzhi discovered that her boyfriend had cheated on her with her best friend, and that her adoptive parents had caused the car accident to collect the large insurance payout...
It was hard to imagine anything more tragic.
"Just wait until I pass the civil service exam. I'll make you all pay."
Reader's guide:
1. The setting is fictional, so please don't take it too seriously. Give this humble author a break, okay?
2. Partly reborn. Rebirth comes into play in the latter half, with a past-life and present-life storyline. Both leads are sexually inexperienced!
3. The protagonist was a total badass in her past life, so the couple can both be considered strong. The male lead was the one who pursued her in her past life, and he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. In this life, he is still the one who pursues her, at least in part. The heroine's personality is quite different between lives, so please read with discretion if that bothers you.
Theme: Strive hard and become a pillar of society.
