Hey, My Dear Mortician Sir

share time: 2026-02-01 12:32:05

Su Xiaoman, a modern mortuary science student, stayed up all night binge-watching a xianxia drama—only to wake up as an apprentice mortician in the ancient Qingqiu City, bound to an "Afterlife System" that demands she fulfill the last wishes of wronged ghosts to return home! Her first mission goes sideways: the "xianxia cultivator corpse" she's assigned is actually Gu Zhao, the Qingqiu Kingdom's rogue prince, who faked his death to escape an arranged marriage! When she raises a soul-calling bell to chant "Rest in peace," Gu Zhao suddenly sits up from the coffin, wrapping his hand around her wrist with a grin: "Little mortician, your bell is so loud—I heard you cursing the system even at the gates of hell." From then on, Gu Zhao clings to her mortuary: he helps her fend off vengeful ghosts, and tries every trick to "become her coffin guardian"—after all, a girl who can touch his chest without blushing and call his fake death "a lousy zombie act" is way more fun than the palace beauties. As Su Xiaoman juggles the system's deadlines and Gu Zhao's sweet teasing, she realizes: the warmest way home isn't back to the modern world—it's building a "sugary haunted house" with him, one ghostly wish at a time.
