Doing Business in the Underworld, Reaping Souls in the Mortal Realm

Ai Sanwu commits suicide and dies, her soul descending into the underworld. While waiting in line for reincarnation, she meets Qi Si, a child-like ghost who has waited seventy years for a loved one. After witnessing the harsh punishments the underworld imposes on suicide victims, she decides to fight back, rallying a group of ghosts who refuse to passively reincarnate and are bound by strict rules, forming the Free People Organization. To hide their tracks and gather strength, they scheme step by step, seizing incense resources, formulating action plans, and establishing the Suixin Comprehensive Mall under the guise of business. Ai Sanwu, disguised as a man named Qiu Dong, operates behind the scenes, managing the thriving underworld shop and organizing the group's rules while secretly planting spies in various underworld departments. Her former comrades gradually settle into a stable and prosperous life, nearly forgetting their original intention to change the underworld's laws. Qi Si's lifelong wait hides a painful past, and the judge's careless clerical error plants a seed of fate. On one hand, there is the increasingly lively underworld commercial street and the daily life of stability; on the other, the original choice to rewrite the rules of life and death and seek justice for suicide victims. Ai Sanwu, evading the wanted list, will use the mall as a shield, leading the Free People Organization to gradually fight for the choices and freedom that every soul should have within the underworld's order. — Description from novelcodex.org
