They All Faked Their Deaths, So Why Bother with a Crematorium?

Years after Xu Shutong died, he devoted himself to passing the Underworld civil service exam.

On the day of the major exam, the chief examiner announced the final question: capture a soul guilty of every imaginable crime.

To secure a permanent post,

Xu Shutong resolutely borrowed a corpse to return to life, transmigrating into the ex-wife of the male lead in a novel where the male lead of an angst-filled story rises to power.

Five years ago, the male lead was framed, and his family was destroyed.

Five years later, he asked to marry his wife, only to be brutally humiliated.

When Xu Shutong transmigrated into the story, the male lead was being beaten out of his ex-wife's family home.

As the cannon-fodder ex-wife, of course he had to bully him! Trample him! Beat him!

Drive him completely into darkness and plunge him into the abyss!

Then seize the male lead's soul, guilty of every imaginable crime!

Looking at the tall male lead, covered in blood, his handsome face pale, an iron rod in his hand as he stared at him darkly,

Xu Shutong, bereft of all magic power: ...Wait. It's not that we're saying we won't do this, but there's nothing we've discussed that says it has to go a certain way.

Jiang Mingsheng had spent two lifetimes keeping to himself. He believed in fate, not Heaven.

Reborn, he was going to make everyone who had wronged him pay.

First,

he would start with the scumbag fiancee who had bullied and humiliated him in his previous life.

But after being reborn,

he suddenly found he could hear Xu Shutong's thoughts.

“I wonder if he drank the porridge I left for him the night before last?”

That porridge was left for him?

“It's getting cold. Should I buy the male lead a couple of new outfits?”

The new clothes in the wardrobe were bought for him?

“It hurts so much! Damn it, did the male lead just hit me?”

...He had only touched his head.

Xu Shutong knew how this story ended.

As a cannon-fodder scum who bullied the protagonist, during the final showdown,

to save the protagonist, Jiang Mingsheng pointed a gun at him in front of everyone.

He was suddenly so tired.

He wanted to go home.

When the bullet entered his forehead,

Xu Shutong didn't dodge.

So he calmly watched

Jiang Mingsheng's gaze grow increasingly frantic and tremble, almost cracking with terror.

But nobody knew

that three months after “Madam Jiang” was buried,

in a graveyard on a dark, windy night,

Xu Shutong burst out of his coffin, overjoyed: “A permanent government job! I'm here!”

Not long after Xu Shutong passed the Underworld civil service exam, he was sent on assignment.

A powerful man in the human world had spent over a hundred billion summoning his “deceased wife.”

Xu Shutong went willingly.

Then, at the very first sight of Jiang Mingsheng,

the real deceased wife turned around without a word,

and ran for it!

The next moment, a hand clamped around his neck.

His ex-husband smiled with sinister, twisted delight.

“Darling, why are you running?”

*A ridiculous, melodramatic story, with faked death and an identity reveal

*The mood is sweet and sour

*A cute, lovely beauty x a deranged, twisted male lead

*Underworld civil servant x We were never meant to be, but you made it happen by throwing money at me

*There isn't much supernatural content; it's mainly an urban melodrama

*An imaginary, magical urban setting by Jinjiang, unrelated to the real world

*One-on-one romance

Content notes:

*The book Xu transmigrates into is a male-oriented novel, so when he plays the ex-wife, he wears women's clothing, but he is a man. Later, once he returns to his original body, he wears men's clothing.

Theme: Young people should develop a serious and healthy attitude toward love.
