[BL] I Became a General in Hell after Dying

[Mature Content - Reincarnation/ Cultivation/ Past Lives] Can death be a new beginning? Xie Bian wakes up in the Underworld being interrogated by King Yanluo, who tells him he has a job for him, and to stop calling him King! He's going to join the mysterious Fan Wujiu in bringing errant souls to the Underworld so that they can follow the cycle of life and death as intended. Something is keeping the souls of the dead in the human realm, and it's Xie Bian's and Fan Wujiu's task to find out what. But there's more than meets the eye to his fellow Underworld General. Fan Wujiu is cold and distant, and keeps Xie Bian at arms length -- almost as if they've met before. And what is going on with the odd book Yanluo gave Xie Bian, who tells the life story of the mysterious Fu Shulin, in his quest to become an extraordinary cultivator despite his humble background? Something tells Xie Bian that these events are all connected, and that somehow he's in the middle of it all. --- Xie Bian: Was I not supposed to forget my past life after dying? I thought everyone had to drink Meng Po's soup! Yanluo: ... Xie Bian: Why does it feel like you hate me even though we just met? Fan Wujiu: .... Xie Bian: Did I insult your mother when I was alive, or something?

Before You Read

Hi there new and old readers! Some useful info below:

--This novel is based on two deities of Chinese folk religion: Black and White Impermanence or Heibai Wuchang. I've kept their original names, but taken pleeenty of liberties otherwise. There have been several other interpretations of these two across video games, novels, manhua, manga and the like. This is my own.

-- Creatures! Some cute some scary, some friendly some... not so much :)

-- It should go without saying but: ghosts are there too! Mostly to bring the feels. All the scares are courtesy of the living, just like real life!

-- Betrayals! Questioning long-held beliefs! Risking it all for love! Sacrifice and tough choices!

-- HE overall but I will make you sweat for it, because I love pain.

-- Mysteries, tying the past and the present together :3~~~~

-- All explicit chapters will be tagged (NSFW), lighter sexual content might be untagged but let me know if you'd prefer otherwise!

-- I'll use the words Underworld and Hell interchangeably, but the Underworld of Chinese folk religions, and Daoist beliefs more broadly, is a neutral place. Everyone who dies ends up there on the road to reincarnation -- some reincarnate right away, others uhm...stew a little.

-- If you read my previous novel Capturing my Demon King Costar, you're probably familiar with the Underworld as a setting, but these two novels aren't connected! Ultimately both novels have different depictions of the Underworld as well as Youdu (the capital city).
