"A cute, clueless judge of the dead who creates heaven, earth, and everything else x an evil, B-king Lord of the Underworld who thinks the whole world belongs to him"
Gu Changnian has one wish: to die. But everyone wants him to live. He also has a mission hanging over him: to become an immortal.
In the end, he dies and becomes a ghost.
Everything turns out exactly the opposite of what he wanted.
But it doesn't matter. He's easygoing. A tiny bit of sweetness is enough to win him over, and he'll do whatever means suffering less.
Unfortunately, as soon as he arrives in the underworld, he gets caught up in an upheaval in the courts of the dead. He becomes the target of everyone's blame and a sacrificial pawn in the chaos, and even manages to offend the ruler of the ghost clan.
Gu Changnian laments his ill fortune.
To keep a low profile, Gu Changnian works diligently and bears his burdens without complaint, hoping the Lord of the Underworld will see him as a loyal subject and let bygones be bygones.
At the same time, he secretly searches for a way to stop being a ghost.
His twisted fate follows him even after death. Later, who knows what kind of mistake happened again...
The Lord of the Underworld strolls over and offers him a branch of a flower from the other shore, as if placing death right before him. He laughs wildly. "Poor little Asura. Since you're so unwilling to accept your lot, I can be kind and point you toward two paths."
"Either climb onto the throne, or climb into my bed."
Gu Changnian actually considers it. There's no way he could climb onto the throne, so then...?
He makes his choice with complete seriousness: "I'll climb into your bed."
Why does the Lord of the Underworld look so strange now? Is he dissatisfied? Is Gu Changnian doing it wrong?
*
They say throughout the underworld that the Lord of the Underworld sits securely upon his high throne, invincible and untouchable, his blood-red eyes forever full of amusement. He loves watching those below him bicker, as if enjoying one fascinating play after another.
He holds sway over life and death, commands the nine levels of the underworld, and finds it all utterly dull.
Until Gu Changnian.
If you become an immortal, I'll help you defy fate.
The world passes in a rush, and we are apart for years.
"A natural airhead defeats a sarcastic, shady schemer."
Theme: Life is full of hardship, and the dead face their own trials.
