Ji means to entrust someone with a hope.
Le means peace and happiness.
Jile means hoping she will live in peace and happiness.
Jile thought so too, until the phrase "I'm done for" went viral online, and she herself fittingly died that very year.
Jile deeply regretted being unable to deliver this hellish joke in person at her own funeral.

Assigned by the Underworld's human resources department to work in the field operations division, she was being registered by the dead-eyed woman in charge of onboarding. The woman praised her as she wrote: "What a fitting name!"
Jile: "I'm already done for, so I might as well just give up and laze around."
A faint sigh came from behind her.
A fellow unlucky soul, clearly also one who had died young, stepped forward and set a file down beside hers.
"Hello." The unlucky soul held his stomach, his face expressionless. "My name is Kaibai."
The dead-eyed woman swept her brush across the form: "What a fateful coincidence! You two can just be a team!"

Field teams had to have at least three members, so the HR department air-dropped another teammate onto them.
But no one knew that this teammate was a villain who had gone to great lengths to disguise his identity and infiltrate their group, intent on making a big move.
The three of them met for the first time on the day of their mission. The villain smiled brightly, trying to take control of the situation: "Why don't we introduce ourselves in turn?"
His female teammate A was brief and to the point: "I'm Done For."
His male teammate B sounded listless: "I'm Just Giving Up..."
The villain's smile vanished.
The name he'd painstakingly chosen, certain it would help him fit in with young people today, suddenly seemed so unusual and conspicuous.
Under their gazes, the villain steeled himself: "M-my name is... Song Zhizhou!"

A love story born in the Underworld could also be called
A love story from the netherworld.
Song Zhizhou: "...Then what am I?"
Jile: "A part of our play?"
Kaibai: "Ahem."
