A Day in the Life of an Underworld Civil Servant

The Underworld, also known as the Netherworld, is the transit point of reincarnation, where the lives of all living things are administered. After death, all souls from the world above are taken into the realm below, where their good and evil deeds in life are judged.

It is the end of life, and the beginning of the soul's journey.

For thousands of years, as the Three Realms have risen and fallen, the Underworld has stood firm. It is a vital link that keeps the human world running.

As the times change and generations of civil servants come and go, the Underworld's own administrative systems have been updated too. Streamlining reforms continue apace, heading ever further in a strange direction...

Here, you can see:

Bai Wuchang, dead tired from working overtime. The Qingming Festival rush keeps pushing up inflation in the Underworld. Didn't we agree with the government above that no paper offerings would be burned? So why does so much stuff still come pouring in every year?

Meng Po, with her extreme allergies, can't touch any of the ingredients for Meng Po Soup. She goes berserk as soon as she clocks in and gives Meng Po's Manor a complete makeover. The Underworld AI is my god: Meng Po Soup with 30% sugar, incense, and cake, open for business 24/7!

A secondment crisis for the Good and Evil Attendants: a thousand-year loan period? When will this labor dispatch arrangement ever end!

The dream-delivery business at King Taishan's Hall keeps topping the charts, while the evil spirit's online shop keeps updating. Order three dream deliveries and get one evil spirit warding charm free. Leave a fifteen-character review with a photo and get another coin's worth of incense in return. Wow, my corpse spots even look lighter!

Complaints about the Nostalgia Terrace project have hit a new high. The spokesperson from the news department of the Underworld's Intermediate Ghost People's Court, Hei Wuchang, is dodging interviews, claiming the project is running smoothly. It may even replace the River Nai surfing project as a pillar industry of the Underworld!

Ghost-catching Zhong Kui got reported for releasing a game that's way too rigged. Furious, he immediately went on a massive overtime spree, wreaking havoc among the ten thousand ghosts. If I can't hook them in the game, do you think I'll miss with my hook in real life?

Streamlining government services in the Underworld. Just another day of chaos!

Daily life of a low-ranking civil servant in the Underworld, with a lighthearted, satirical tone.

I'm not a folklore expert, so please be gentle.
