[Synopsis]

When Shi Yu returns to the Underworld, he goes from being a veteran spirit guide to a rookie. Not only has he lost his privileges, his former boyfriend, Xu Hunzhi, no longer remembers him.

The King of Hell really has a knack for scheming. To stop Shi Yu from investigating the Underworld, he has cut off almost every path of retreat.

No matter. Starting over is all it takes. Shi Yu has plenty of grit and plenty of tricks.

As it happens, Shi Yu is assigned to work under Xu Hunzhi. There's always a way forward, and this means he can investigate the truth and pursue his man at the same time!

In the Domains, Shi Yu displays an extraordinary ability to adapt, successfully catching Xu Hunzhi's attention.

Shi Yu: "That's not how you should do it. You should do it my way."

Xu Hunzhi: "Are you the rookie, or am I?"

Shi Yu: "You know you're actually my boyfriend, right?"

Xu Hunzhi: "Get lost."

After getting entangled with each other through several Domains, Shi Yu's identity is finally exposed.

But even more tragic news follows: he isn't human at all. He's a monster despised by every spirit guide.

*

So what if he's a monster? In the entire Underworld, no one can beat Shi Yu except the King of Hell.

The Underworld undergoes a cataclysmic upheaval, and the King of Hell flees into the cycle of reincarnation.

"From today onward, I'm the new King of Hell," Shi Yu says, looking down at the crowd.
