From Underworld Clerk to Supreme Ghost-Slaying Marshal

A modern youth transmigrates into the body of Zhong Kui, a failed scholar of the Tang Dynasty who dies by striking a pillar in the imperial court. His soul enters a corrupted underworld and awakens the "Hundred Ghosts Exorcism Atlas"—by sealing evil spirits into the atlas, he accumulates merit, comprehends divine powers, and rises in rank. As a lowly underworld clerk, he patrols the prosperous Chang'an at night, investigating causes, suppressing demons, and guiding souls. Starting from the lowest rank in the City of Wrongful Death, he pacifies ghost realms, cleanses rebellious Yanluos, defies heavenly decrees, and repels extraterrestrial evil gods. He rises through the ranks to become a patrol marshal, then a judge of the Ten Courts, and finally receives the Jade Emperor's decree as the Supreme Ghost-Slaying Marshal, commanding the ghost soldiers of the three realms and restoring order to the underworld!
