Synopsis
Ruan Yang accidentally secures a job at a supernatural agency led by the enigmatic Xiao Siming, a man with a literal appetite for spirits. As their professional relationship evolves into a romantic entanglement, Ruan Yang discovers that he is actually the long-lost royalty of the underworld. This novel reads like a blend of an urban fantasy office rom-com and the 'hidden identity' trope, balancing cosmic stakes with mundane desires. It is perfect for BL enthusiasts who enjoy lighthearted power dynamics and absurdist humor, while those seeking a gritty, high-stakes horror or a slow-burn tragedy should skip it. The pacing is brisk, moving efficiently through its plot, with its standout quality being the comedic contrast between the protagonist's royal status and his obsession with passing civil servant exams.

Editorial Review
This completed work is a concise exploration of supernatural romance that succeeds primarily through its playful tone. A significant strength is the chemistry between the leads, particularly the contrast between Xiao Siming's predatory nature and Ruan Yang's grounded, employee-minded personality. However, the novel's brevity is also a weakness; with only 93 chapters, the shift from a workplace comedy to an epic underworld reunion feels somewhat abrupt. The world-building regarding the celestial and ghostly realms remains surface-level, leaving some plot threads feeling underdeveloped. Despite this, it functions well as a low-stress read that delivers a satisfying conclusion without overstaying its welcome. It is a polished, though lightweight, entry in the urban fantasy genre that prioritizes character whimsy over complex lore.
