There's an old saying that when you die, you return to dust, and everything is gone.
Ha! As if!
The moment you close your eyes, the points for this game called life are only just being tallied.
Jiang Yi looks at the endless line before him and recalls the slogan from the Lingchu Central Credit Bank:
Want to be reincarnated?
Want to be reborn as a human, the greatest of all beings?
Want to practice the arts of this world after reincarnation and escape the cycle of rebirth forever?
Come on in! Lingchu Central Credit Bank will give wings to your dreams.
A Rebirth Loan, a credit loan tailored just for you.
It gives you human skin, opens your mind, and makes you one of the supreme human race, helping you fulfill your dream of ascension.
As he thinks this over, he follows the line into the bank.
The chief finance spirit official is stunned, the lobby manager is dumbfounded, and even the janitor is speechless.
They all have the same question: Why has the Demon King returned at only twenty-eight this time?
An official checks his debts and immediately sees stars. "Your Rebirth Loan is five million taels of gold, your Consumption Loan is two hundred thousand taels, and your Life-Taking Loan is twenty million, no... ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands..."
They assume that once the Demon King pays off his debt, he'll rush straight off to be reincarnated again.
Who could have guessed the Demon King wants to take the civil service exam???

Jiang Yi hears that Fengling City has a job where you get paid to play games at work, can pick from all sorts of Rebirth Loan dungeons at random, and offers the best salary and benefits in the whole city, with meals and lodging included.
He's tempted! Very, very tempted!
He never expects to run into his little sweet bun as soon as the first dungeon opens~
One bite, and sweetness fills the honey jar in his heart.
He thinks he's finally going to have a cozy life with a wife and kids... well, no kids.
But his little sweet bun loses his memory and turns into a chili pepper, and the dungeons just keep coming.
Jiang Yi thinks it over and comes up with a plan:
In front of Gu Qingdan: "Qingqing, save me! Dandan, save me! Baby, save me!"
The ghosts cackle triumphantly.
Behind Gu Qingdan: "Tsk!"
The ghosts tremble and fall to their knees. "Don't bother lifting a finger. We'll take care of ourselves!"
The Spirit Prison is baffled: What kind of move is this?
Everyone is born with a credit card to pay off, called a Rebirth Loan.
Everyone is born with a savings account to fill, called a Merit Debit Card.
Couple:
A clingy little lamb who whimpers before the transformation, a Demon King who can torment heaven and earth afterward, gong * a poker-faced powerhouse in public, a shy and tsundere little fox in private, shou
Hilarious, sweet, fast-paced wish fulfillment. Older gong, one-on-one, happy ending.

1. Mountains of authorial liberties, utter nonsense throughout, Chinese-style infinite flow.
2. Lingchu City is inspired by the underworld, The Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and The Great Supreme Scripture of the Five Dippers on Rebirth Loans. It's been heavily adapted. Just enjoy the story and don't overthink it.
