Fresh out of college and still without a job, Li Meng took on a major project: arranging a funeral for his best friend.
The guy was still full of life, but claimed he had a terminal illness and wanted to say a proper goodbye while he still could.
Li Meng thought the whole thing was absurd, but still started running around for his friend.
A funeral for someone still alive? Li Meng got turned down countless times, and just when he was about to give up, he received a phone call.
The caller introduced himself as Qin Ce, a senior consultant at [Wangchuan Pavilion Funeral Services Group Co., Ltd.], and said he could help Li Meng solve the problem.
With no other choice, Li Meng agreed. When he asked about the price, the man said Wangchuan Pavilion only accepted underworld currency. If Li Meng didn't have any, he could work at [Wangchuan Pavilion] to pay off his debt.
Li Meng: “?” What a weirdo. That actually made me laugh.
Could this be the immersive service of a high-end company?
At first, Li Meng thought the guy was joking. It turned out he was completely serious.
As the funeral proceeded, a whole new world slowly unfolded before Li Meng.
As for joining the company to work and pay off his debt...
Qin Ce: “Eighteen types of insurance and ten benefits, a monthly salary of 200,000 underworld coins. Interested?”
Li Meng: “May I ask if these underworld coins can be exchanged for... regular currency?”
Qin Ce: “Yes, with a limit. It depends on how well you do.”
Later... Li Meng joined Wangchuan Pavilion and began his diligent life of working to pay off his debt.
He encountered all sorts of unusual situations: a cat arranging a funeral for a human, someone who wanted a gravestone made for themselves...
But wait, why does this debt keep getting bigger the more I pay?
Qin Ce: “There are actually other ways you can pay off your debt...”
Li Meng: “Is it the one I'm thinking of?”
Qin Ce: “It is.”
Later still, Li Meng suddenly realized he was actually quite wealthy.
Li Meng: “Damn it, I had a vault full of money?! Why didn't you tell me!”
Qin Ce: “You never asked.”
One-on-one romance. A modern, fictional underworld slice-of-life story with a light-comedy vibe. The characters may be a little too well-adjusted, but since the story deals with the underworld, there'll still be a touch of mystery.
