Blurb:
Yan Jiao is an ordinary wage worker. One word sums him up: poor.
One day, he accidentally clicked on a shady ad and got bound to a bizarre app.
"Ding! Lucky Bus App warmly reminds you that you have the following tasks to complete, Driver:
[Beginner Task 1: Pick up 1 passenger from the ghost realm within one day. Reward: 2,000 underworld coins. Penalty: Deduct 1,000 yuan.]
[Beginner Task 2: Pick up 5 passengers from the ghost realm within two days. Reward: 3,000 underworld coins. Penalty: Deduct 2,000 yuan.]
[Beginner Task 3: Don't reveal that you're a living driver for three days. Reward: 5,000 underworld coins. Penalty: Lose 60 days of your life.]"
Yan Jiao, who was terrified of ghosts and spirits: ...What in the world are you babbling about? Do you even know there's an exchange rate between underworld coins and yuan?
A day later, the poor wage slave, his balance down by 1,000 yuan, shakily climbed into the driver's seat of the bus.
Hello? Any ghosts out there? Bus 699 is about to depart!
A legend circulated in the ghost realm: There was a bus in the human world called 699 that went to the underworld. It ignored the boundary between yin and yang, carrying the living to the ghost realm and returning ghosts to the world of the living.
But it vanished without a trace many years ago.
Until one day, ghosts were astonished to find a battered hunk of metal roaming freely across the boundary between the two worlds: Bus 699.
Lonely ghosts: ...!!
Although tickets for 699 were always hard to come by, this driver seemed gentle and mild-mannered.
He not only smiled at them, but also greeted them warmly: "Have you all eaten?"
The ghosts: ...It's been a long time since we felt this kind of warmth. Brothers and sisters, how can we not get on?
The next moment, as they excitedly grabbed their severed limbs to use as tickets, the handsome driver smiled and punched a vicious ghost who thought it could force its way aboard into the ground. Then he politely reminded the passengers:
"We don't accept human organs. The fare is 2 yuan.
"No cliques or discrimination against disabled passengers."
"Please dress appropriately and don't dirty the seats."
"You over there look like you take cleanliness seriously. You can ride for free this time."
The ghosts: Yuan! Human yuan! So expensive!
The free passenger over there, Lord Yanwang: ...
Bonus scene:
Little ghost: Reporting, Lord Yanwang! Recently, a lawless living person has been leading ghosts into the underworld without permission, inspiring all sorts of unheard-of evil groups in the ghost realm, like "Have You Eaten, Underworld?" "Underworld Ride-Hailing" and "Chop Chop Underworld"!
Yan Hechuan furrowed his brows slightly: I'll take care of it.
Later, another little ghost: Reporting, Lord Yanwang! That brazen living person is back in the underworld!
Yan Hechuan replied nonchalantly: Mm. He's my boyfriend.
Both are virgins, 1v1. No personal attacks, please.

Coming soon: Swapping Places with a Wise Emperor, I Win by Taking It Easy
Blurb: Zhao Jinghong is the number one "corrupt official" in Shandong. All he wants in life is to coast along and wait for death.
Until a severe drought strikes Shandong, and the emperor orders an investigation into corruption. Officials across the region are held collectively responsible, and cavalry rides straight into the courtyard of his county yamen.
Zhao Jinghong feels dizzy. Heaven wants me dead!
When Zhao Jinghong opens his eyes again, his neck aches, his back hurts, and his vision is blurry. Every bone in his body feels exhausted.
His face ashen, he pleads, "Sir, please be kind and leave my corpse intact."
The most trusted chief eunuch of the current emperor drops to his knees with a thud, weeping bitterly. "Your Majesty! At last, you've spoken! You haven't slept for two days and nights! You haven't eaten for a whole day!"
Zhao Jinghong: ?
He looks down and sees a bright yellow imperial robe. Memorials to the throne are piled up before him like a mountain.
He's a petty official who can't even properly settle a case of petty theft, and now he's become an iron-fisted wise emperor renowned throughout the land for his diligence at court??
Zhao Jinghong jumps up in shock, clutches his pounding heart, then sits back down and says weakly, "Someone bring me a full Manchu-Han banquet first."
Nothing matters more than food.
Lou Xiangxun is an emperor who works diligently and cares for his people. He exhausts himself for the sake of the realm, never expecting that one day he would switch souls with a county magistrate.
He finds himself wearing a seventh-rank official's black gauze hat, with a corrupt superior above him, vicious local officials below him, and people outside the door shouting that he's a corrupt official.
The emperor, who has always measured himself against the ideal of a wise ruler, turns livid.
Outrageous!
By the time the two switch back, everything has changed.
Lou Xiangxun realizes that his back no longer hurts, his hands no longer ache, and he can once again stay up all night reviewing eight hundred memorials.
His mischievous younger brother has become obedient, the cold empress dowager is all smiles, and even the censor-in-chief, who used to submit a remonstrance against him every day, greets him with a sunny smile.
The emperor raises an eyebrow and immediately issues an edict summoning Zhao Jinghong to the capital for an audience.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jinghong sits in the county yamen, listening to the people praise him as "a just and noble official"...
What if he wants to defy the imperial decree?
Theme: Treat everyone with sincerity.
Hahaha, then save it on your phone and open it from time to time to review 🐶
