A yama afraid of ghosts running the underworld is the kind of premise that only works if you commit to the absurdity completely, and this show does. Xiao Luo's terror is real enough to drive actual character growth, but the comedy never stops mining the contradiction for pure joy. You're watching someone fundamentally unsuited for her job figure out how to do it anyway, one terrified scream at a time.
Xiao Luo is a young yama, a god who judges the dead in the Underworld. There's just one catastrophic problem. She's absolutely terrified of ghosts. This comedic supernatural fantasy follows her everyday life as she deals with her duties and the spirits around her. To reign over the Underworld properly, she sets out to confront the very fear that makes her position so unnerving.
