I Crashed the Underworld Before I Could Get a Happy Ending with the King of Hell

(A sharp-tongued, scheming, hopelessly lovestruck overachiever of a ghost reaper gong X a cunning beauty and slacker King of Hell shou, with unmatched combat prowess)

Lu Zhao died, but not all the way.

After dying from overwork in a 996 job, he switched careers and became an "elite ghost reaper" in the underworld. By being sharp-tongued, ruthless, and relentlessly hardworking, he crushed his soul-reaping KPIs and became the richest man in the Merit Department.

His happy afterlife hadn't even gotten off the ground when he accidentally smashed the dessert shop that "Slacker Disguise, King of Hell Who Can't Be Bothered, Jiang Yun" had opened in the human world. Not only did he lose his entire fortune, he also ended up in debt to loan sharks, becoming the laughingstock of the whole underworld.

When he was at his poorest, even the merit System kicked him while he was down.

The System upgraded to a "1&1" team mode and bound Lu Zhao and Jiang Yun together as soul-reaping partners. Lu Zhao could only earn merit points by reaping souls alongside Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun smiled wickedly. "Want me to reap souls with you? Then move in with me."

Lu Zhao's face darkened. "I refuse to partner with Jiang Yun!"

System: You two are staying together, whether you like it or not!!!

[Mission 0001]

A heavily made-up girl with pink hair livestreams late at night, behaving strangely as she demonstrates how to take apart a doll. Half the ghosts in the underworld are in the stream, waiting to watch Lu Zhao reap her soul.

Lu Zhao: Draw on that teddy bear one more time, and I'll gouge your eyes out!

[Mission 0002]

The children at the nursery love crawling around the halls in the middle of the night, then stopping outside Lu Zhao and Jiang Yun's door to cry and laugh at whoever is inside. They say little kids can see ghosts.

Lu Zhao: So what kind of ghosts are we?

[Mission 0003]

The owner of an antique shop has a strange full-length mirror. Everyone who's looked into it has gone insane. Lu Zhao and Jiang Yun took a look too, and not only did they stay sane, they got trapped inside the mirror.

Lu Zhao: Whoa, there are so many people in here.

Lu Zhao noticed that every time they reaped a soul, Jiang Yun would climb into his bed, his face deathly pale.

Lu Zhao silently pushed the ghost away.

Jiang Yun: Let me hold you for a while. It feels nice.

Lu Zhao: What do you think I am?

Jiang Yun: A ghost-shaped power bank.

Grievous souls in the human world were being corrupted, and outbreaks kept occurring. Lu Zhao watched Jiang Yun flip through the Book of Life and Death across from him, stubbornly insisting, "I have a deep connection with the King of Hell."

He'd worn his secret identity for too long to want to take it off.

Later, when the evil ghosts of the Eighteenth Level of Hell could no longer be contained, Lu Zhao and Jiang Yun went to suppress them, only to end up in Fengdu a thousand years in the past.

Lu Zhao took Jiang Yun's hand and confessed sincerely.

"I owe you too little in merit points. I'll repay you with the rest of my life."

Coming soon: The Feline World's Fierce Cat Is Spoiled by a Master Vet

A fortune-teller once said Wen Shiyu had shallow ties with his family and no cat in his fate, so he resolved to become a veterinarian from a young age.

The day he was fired from the pet hospital, he met Fierce Cat.

The calico cat looked ferocious, but rubbed against his trouser leg and let out a sweet little "meow." Wen Shiyu's heart instantly melted.

He had accepted his fate, but thought, I can at least raise him for a day. So he brought Fierce Cat home.

He never expected the cat, who looked so fearsome, to be clingy in private.

When Wen Shiyu came home, the cat was always waiting at the door. It wanted to share his bowl at mealtimes and his bedcovers at night. And when he went to the bathroom... it always tried to sneak in with him.

Without the cat, Wen Shiyu didn't know how he would have gotten through that difficult time.

He was out of work, nearly out of savings, and being harassed by disgruntled patients. Only the cat stayed by his side.

To keep the cat for himself, Wen Shiyu decided to fight the so-called fate written for him.

Open a cat cafe! Move into a mansion! Live a happy life with his cat, growing plump together~

Just as their happy life was beginning, Wen Shiyu was told a strange man had been coming and going from his home lately.

Wen Shiyu stared at the security footage of a handsome boy sitting with his legs crossed and elegantly enjoying a cat treat. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

That looked a lot like his cat!!!

Fierce Cat was a once-in-a-century genius in the feline world and entered his transformation phase before the age of six.

But he got stuck at the most crucial step. He needed to absorb more of a human's yang energy.

While searching the world over, he met Wen Shiyu. The man was brimming with pure yang energy that no other cat had ever defiled.

Fierce Cat decided to temporarily adopt this human.

The plan was simple: absorb enough yang energy, complete his transformation, and then walk away.

But he never expected Wen Shiyu to be so good at caring for cats.

The human's food bowl was fragrant, the human's bed was cozy, and when the human went to the bathroom... he was quiet about it.

Month after month, Wen Shiyu raised Fierce Cat until he was plump and sleek. Even though he had successfully transformed long ago, he kept pretending to be a simple little cat and stayed by Wen Shiyu's side.

The little cat just thought that since he'd adopted this human, he ought to take responsibility for him.

Watching Wen Shiyu gradually recover from being unemployed and seeing his cat cafe slowly take off, Fierce Cat planned to call the whole Fierce Cat family over to support this human.

On their first meeting, Scar pointed at Wen Shiyu and roared angrily, "Boss, he's the quack who took my balls!"

Fierce Cat looked at Wen Shiyu, then down at himself, and warily covered his lower half with a furry paw.

"Meow meow meow!!!"

His balls were going to be very useful someday!!!
