Synopsis
A young man named Zaiyue finds himself in the underworld after an early death, where he encounters the enigmatic and stunning Yan Han, the King of Hades. Rather than a peaceful afterlife, Zaiyue is thrust back into the human realm to serve as an officer in the Dali Temple. His goals are simple: solve crimes, achieve fame, and find a beautiful spouse. However, the dynamic shifts when he realizes the cold, aloof ruler of the underworld is far more involved in his life than expected, and the power balance in their relationship is not what Zaiyue initially imagined. The story blends supernatural elements with police procedural work, shifting from lighthearted ambition to a poignant exploration of a bond that spans multiple lifetimes. It rewards those who enjoy a slow-burn romance coupled with mystery, though the sudden shift in relationship dynamics might surprise some. The atmosphere transitions from the chilling solitude of Hades to the bustling energy of an imperial court.

Editorial Review
At 105 chapters, this completed work offers a concise arc that manages to wrap up its central mystery and romantic tension without overstaying its welcome. The strength of the work lies in the character dynamics, specifically the reversal of expectations regarding the roles of the two leads. The transition between the underworld and the human realm provides a nice structural variety. However, the limited chapter count suggests that the world-building and the actual case-solving aspects might be underdeveloped compared to the romantic focus. With very low visibility in the current library, it remains a hidden gem that lacks a broad audience. The prose is functional, though the emotional payoff relies heavily on the revealed history of the characters. It is a solid, focused entry in the BL genre that prioritizes the relationship over the broader political landscape of the two worlds.
