After slipping and falling, Sang Qiqi spent twenty years in the underworld working as an overworked employee—and yet she still failed to meet her monthly KPIs.

Sang Qiqi: ‘I won’t even say anything :)’

In a desperate attempt to improve her performance, she volunteered for a secondment to the human world. She possessed the body of a D-list celebrity who had just died in an accident. From that moment on, she found herself constantly fretting over work.

***

As a forgotten celebrity barely clinging to fame, Sang Qiqi stirred up minor scandals every three days and major ones every seven. She easily topped the trending list as an infamous and infuriating celebrity.

After she staged a clout-chasing stunt with a Best Actor award winner and earned herself over a million hate comments from enraged fans, Sang Qiqi coolly mailed a letter to his assistant. It contained a 100-yuan joss paper money, printed by the Bank of Heaven and Earth.

The Best Actor award winner’s assistant: ‘!?’

That very day, the news exploded online. Fans went feral, accusing Sang Qiqi of being mentally unstable and even launching a crowdfunding campaign to admit her to a psychiatric hospital.

But before the funds were raised… the assistant was arrested and sent to prison first.

Hashtags like #Best Actor’s assistant suspected of mu*der# and #Corpse found in Best Actor’s assistant’s home# dominated the trending list for three days and three nights.

Netizens were rendered utterly speechless. Sang Qiqi shot to fame overnight.

4.5 / 5 ⭐

(The rating is rounded up since there's no review here yet)

The story progressed around our FMC and she's not a human, so I warn you first, our FMC is already dead. She's a ghost and now working in the underworld (now working in the human world to get more points and money!).

I really really like this story, at first I was kinda regretting that she's not a human, but then after so many chapters I remembered and realized that our ML is also not a... more>> human so that's fine! LOL

What I like is this book literally have everything I like about supernatural story, she can exorcise ghosts and sent them to the underworld to receive punishment, she also still have the pretentious low-key identity as the shop owner, a Funeral shop at that! She possessed a D-list actress body but this identity didn't really brought anything to the FMC except for many curious anti-fan comes to her store.

She loves to gossiping with the soon-to-be-ghost soul of the body she cremated. Her interaction with her fellow underworld workers are so much fun as well! The owner of the haunted house next door were literally her coworker! So there are actually many ghost working both in underworld and human world, the interesting part is, some high profiles human later knew that she's not a human but kept it themselves because they needs our FMC's help, it's not like our FMC trying to hide her actual identity as well.

The ML actually have always put his attention towards FMC but he didn't always helps her, because our FMC (even though she is really frustrated with her condition) is good at handling troubles in funny ways.

Since I've not yet finished it, the question I've right now is, all the ghost that work in Human world possess a dead bodies so easily, they literally could choose anybody! But it was also mentioned that they pay the original souls in the underworld, so it was a win-win situation. It was also mentioned the body could also decay after sometimes so I don't know how this story will ends? It's kinda scary thinking about it... I'm sure FMC will be back to the underworld though.

Loved everything about it so far but I decided to continue reading it later~!! <<less

Spoiler

wow the other reviews werent kidding when they said the ML shows up late! I was bamboozled a bit by one possibility but it was soooo obvious in Ch 62 who it was going to be lol.

[collapse]
Regardless I am liking the translation and our FL is a funny but powerful gal. I love these kinds of characters, kind of reminds me of another novel where the FL is a knife barterer which is another favorite of mine. Innocent looking types that are super strong and funny.

LOVE it. OP FL being the ghost police and capturing evil ghosts and fighting baddies while solving supernatural mysteries. Romance is merely a subplot, ML is eyecandy for the FL.

FL is a worker from the First Court of Hell (there are 10) and wants to expand her turn in the human world. She's very OP, very crazy and strong. Even in the Underworld, no one wants to mess with her. She gives no fks and will do whatever she wants. Hehe, but she's still compassionate and does her best to... more>> save innocent people.

This novel is about her solving ghostly mysteries and capturing ghosts as I've mentioned. But there's an underlying mystery - a cult of Daoist priests doing bad stuff and wrecking havoc - FL is trying to solve this case and bring them all to justice.

ML on the other hand, seems to be someone who has liked FL for some time. He basically assists the FL but doesn't have a prominent presence in the novel for now.

Translation for the novel is excellent! MTL is not so readable for me after having read the translation. I've actually finished the novel in MTL upto C123 (MTL is not complete for some reason) but will reread when translations are completed.

Great story. <<less
