Yang Leyu died, and when she opened her eyes, she was in the underworld.
Just as she was about to find somewhere to be reincarnated, she noticed that the people around her (correction: ghosts) were dressed just like characters in period dramas. She fell into thought, and the ghost messenger who saw her outfit did too.
They went together to see the King of Hell, who fell silent as well.
After searching through every record he could find, the King of Hell concluded that the ghost messengers had grabbed someone from the wrong time period.
Yang Leyu shouted, "Then bring me back to life already!"
The King of Hell spread his hands. "You're dead. They just grabbed you from the wrong time period. The most urgent thing is to get you back to your own time. Otherwise, you'll become a wandering ghost and never be reincarnated."
Yang Leyu burst into tears. "I don't want to become a wandering ghost! I want to be my parents' child in my next life!"
The King of Hell counted on his fingers. "You have to help forty-nine evil spirits find peace in this time period. Then you'll be able to..."
"Come back to life?"
"Go back and be reincarnated."
Yang Leyu flew into a rage for a moment. After all that hard work, all she had earned was a chance to be reincarnated. Even capitalists weren't this exploitative.
Just as she thought she would have to fight alone, another scholar was mistakenly brought here.
What a slapdash operation! She could understand her own case, since she really was dead, but how could they bring a living person down here? Yang Leyu wondered.
Unexpectedly, the scholar couldn't go back either.
Yang Leyu pointed at the King of Hell and scolded him. "Watch out, or the Heavenly Emperor will dock all your performance points!"
The scholar didn't stay silent for long. He joined Yang Leyu in helping the evil spirits find peace.
The days passed quickly as the two traveled together. Just as they had helped the forty-eighth evil spirit find peace, the heavens changed.
But by that, I mean the gods in the heavens started fighting, and the Heavenly Emperor might be replaced.
Yang Leyu could have knelt down and begged them to stop. She only wanted to go home. What had she done wrong?
Luckily, a very, very powerful Lord appeared later and put an end to the war.
After helping the last evil spirit find peace, Yang Leyu happily went to tell the scholar the good news, but he was nowhere to be found.
