A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

-Look here. -Everyone.

I need a spiritual medium.

A powerful one.

-Do you know the noodle seller, Zhu? -Do you...

Do you know the noodle seller, Zhu?

Do you know the noodle seller, Zhu?

What is it now?

I heard you can bring souls back to their bodies.

Go away. I don't do that anymore.

Something happened to the daughter of the family I serve.

She's unconscious.

Take her to the doctor if she's sick. I sell noodles.

I've tried everything,

but nothing worked.

Only you can help her.

Her soul is trapped in the Netherworld.

Please help me.

She's like a daughter to me.

She doesn't have a fever.

Her vital signs are also normal.

How do you know?

Li Lan's condition is the same as Mr. Pan's.

Do you really think medicine for mortals can save her?

You're just wasting your effort.

I can take care of Li Lan on my own.

Why don't you tell us how you got her into this mess?

I should be the one asking.

Why did you just stand by and let this happen to her?

-What did you say? -Why did you allow her

to go to such a place alone?

-Li Lan said she was going home. -Enough.

So you believed her?

She only said that

because she was afraid you'd be worried, you fool.

I'm a fool.

What about you?

Aren't you a Heavenly Guard?

That's enough. Stop it.

Mr. Pan.

-Drink some water. -Take some rest.

How can I rest

when Li Lan is in that condition?

At that time,

Li Lan and I were investigating the Lim family's daughter,

Lim Yan Hong.

Because Li Lan suspects that it was Lim Yan Hong who killed Tian Ching.

We encountered some obstacles in the process.

We got separated.

When I found her,

she was already like this.

Was there anyone else around?

I don't know who did this to her.

This all seems like a dream.

But now I know.

She really did appear in my dream.

In order to save me,

Li Lan sacrificed herself.

I'm a failure.

No, Mr. Pan.

Because of you, Li Lan has grown up to be so nice.

I can't let Li Lan suffer anymore.

Both of you

should stop blaming each other.

No matter what,

we need to find a way to save Li Lan.

Let go of your past memories.

Tian Ching!

A new future awaits you.

Everything is possible here.

Come with me.

What is this place?

This is what they call the Netherworld.

The area beyond these posts is the spirits' first stop.

They'll stay here for a while

and enjoy the offerings from their family until their judgment.

That is a poor family's house.

Those are evil ghosts.

They were greedy and selfish when they were alive.

No matter how much they eat, they'll always be hungry.

They must be suffering.

What are they doing?

That's the Memory Well.

They'll see the person they miss the most in the well.

So what if they see them?

They can't be with them anyway.

So you think I attacked Li Lan?

Ms. Lim, listen to me.

That's not what we mean.

We just want to know what happened.

I did see Li Lan that night,

but I don't know what she was doing there.

I even asked people I know to help me take good care of her.

Why didn't you ask her right then and there?

You should know

that I don't like people knowing my whereabouts.

Why didn't you tell me when you got home?

When did I ever have to answer to you?

And I'm not her parent.

Yan Hong, watch it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Pan.

I don't mean to offend you.

It's just that someone is obviously suspicious of me.

Li Lan entered the gambling den because of you.

Then something bad happened to her.

How else should we take it?

Lim Tian Bai...

We grew up together.

I thought you would at least know what kind of person I am.

Some things...

just don't add up.

I think so too.

You would never raise your voice at me.

It's obvious that your feelings for Li Lan have already overcome your sensibility.

A life is at stake here. You...

Aren't you the least bit concerned?

Li Lan and I are not friends.

It's very dangerous.

I need to open a portal to bring her back.

But I'm not powerful enough to do this alone.

Unless you find another person

who is a spiritual medium as well.

Where are they going?

To receive their judgment in the Netherworld Court.

The guilty will go to hell and the innocent will be reincarnated.

There is no escaping judgment.

Then why are you still here?

Because...

I have connections.

Connections?

Well, you don't need to know these things.

Anyway, I can stay here happily forever.

Why would you choose to do that?

Why should I let others judge me?

My fate should remain in my hands.

I'll do whatever I want.

We'll be married soon.

I want you to enjoy the grandest

and most luxurious life.

Everything will be beyond your imagination.

You will...

thank me then.

Let's go.

Welcome to my kingdom.

This was all designed with you in mind.

Everything you'll ever want is here.

You'll be satisfied.

There are still many things to prepare for our wedding.

You must adapt quickly.

These are your servants.

They'll be with you at all times.

I don't need them.

Of course, you need them.

This way, I'll know where you are at all times

and ensure your safety.

You just want to make sure that I won't escape.

My dear.

You're free to go anywhere.

Wherever you want.

General Fong.

Yes, ma'am.

General.

Please give me more time.

I'm close to solving the case.

It's different this time.

I might need...

to go down there.

Will it help you solve the case?

Pan Li Lan is stuck in the Netherworld now,

but I think she can be our spy.

This could be our breakthrough.

It's really dangerous there.

You're not welcome in the Netherworld.

The ghosts you've captured are all there.

General.

Where am I ever welcome?

Am I right?

You're right.

You won't have any powers in the Netherworld.

I can't go there without solid proof.

You can only rely on yourself.

I know.

You're not going there because of the girl, right?

No.

It's to solve the case and get promoted.

You should have been promoted hundreds of years ago.

If you're still affected by mortal desires,

then all your hard work in the past will be wasted.

I've waited for over 500 years.

I won't be affected by mortal desires anymore.

I'll seize this opportunity and do my best to bring them to justice.

That's good.

You won't have any powers in the Netherworld.

Take this with you.

General...

you said I won't have any powers in the Netherworld.

Yet you give me...

such a small knife.

What can I do with this?

This is a great sword.

Thank you, General.

General.

General, you're concerned about me after all.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What a cute turtle.

I'll get going.

Tian Bai?

Li Lan.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Wake up and come back to us.

Everyone is worried about you.

What exactly happened?

I've agreed to become Tian Ching's wife.

No.

You can't do that.

If I don't,

he will keep harassing my family.

I've accepted my fate.

-You must accept it too. -No.

But...

Tell Dad and Amah

that I really love them.

Tell them I'm fine.

Thank you for everything.

Because of you,

-I'm really happy. -No, Li Lan...

I hope you'll be really happy in the future too.

Li Lan.

Li Lan?

Li Lan?

Li Lan!

Is this for Tian Ching's wedding?

So you know everything.

Tian Ching is really happy.

Li Lan finally agreed.

That's because he gave Li Lan no choice.

You must stop him.

Li Lan is still so young.

This world awaits her.

-And Mr. Pan-- -Tian Ching is my son.

Have you ever considered that this family needs you?

Everyone always had to endure Tian Ching's rude and unreasonable attitude.

But you always turned a blind eye

and spoiled him rotten.

Am I the only one responsible for protecting the Lim family?

If no one cares about this family,

then my wedding

is as absurd as this one!

Stop burning these things!

These are really suitable for my Li Lan.

Mom has good taste.

Pick something you can wear at the party.

What party?

I've arranged a party

to introduce you to my powerful friends.

Everyone wants to meet you.

Why should I meet them?

As my wife,

you should start learning how to entertain guests.

It's made of silk.

Mom has the best taste.

She knows me so well.

Unlike Dad.

He thought nothing of me.

What do you think of this one?

Didn't I tell you to put them away?

My dear.

It's nothing. It's just...

Try not to touch these things without my permission, okay?

How is that possible?

How can Missy marry that bastard

and become a ghost bride?

What's the matter?

Amah, just say what's on your mind.

I have a way to bring Missy home.

I found a spiritual medium.

She can open a portal to the world of the dead,

but she needs help.

What kind of help?

She needs someone to lead the way for Missy.

I know this is really dangerous.

I'm also not sure if we'll succeed.

And with your current condition...

Where is the spiritual medium?

I really miss you.

Find a way to return if you miss them.

Don't look at me, look at the water.

Why are you here?

I came because I wanted to.

That's not hard for me.

But I can't stay for long.

I'm marrying Tian Ching soon.

What?

You've agreed to marry him?

What choice do I have?

Why are you such a pessimist?

You should grab any opportunity you can and not give up.

Never mind.

You're here anyway.

How about this?

Work with me.

Let's capture Lim Tian Ching together.

It's actually great that you're with him now.

It'll be easier for me to find proof that Tian Ching has bribed the judge.

What do you think? Are you in or not?

Don't tell me you've fallen for him.

How could I fall for him?

Look at the water.

I'm doing it to save my dad.

Your dad is safe now.

He's awake.

You should worry about yourself right now.

If Lim Tian Ching isn't captured,

you'll be stuck here forever,

never to return.

Tian Ching is especially protective of a box of red books.

Fire!

Help put out the fire!

Is there anyone who can help put out the fire?

Come and help!

Master's new suits are almost completely burned.

Come and put out the fire!

Li Lan...

Li Lan.

What are you doing?

I'm going to report this to Master.

Don't you dare!

Then I'll also tell him

that you didn't do your job properly.

You didn't lock the door or watch me closely!

There was a fire earlier.

Where?

It was a misunderstanding.

You said there was a fire.

Then you said it was a misunderstanding.

Is that what you're planning to tell him?

I'm going to report this to Master.

Know your place!

I'm about to become the lady of this house.

You should be respecting me

instead of giving me that attitude.

Otherwise, after I become Mrs. Lim,

I'll make you suffer.

It's my fault, Mrs. Lim.

You're acting strange lately.

First, you yelled at Madam Lim.

Then you got all worked up with Yan Hong.

I'm going out with Mr. Pan to confirm Yan Hong's story.

I'll go with you.

Why?

Because I want to resolve this soon

so that you can focus on preparing for our wedding.

Yes.

Speaking of our wedding...

I have something to tell you.

I know.

You know?

Remember when you proposed to me?

Our marriage would be beneficial for both families.

It all makes perfect sense.

But...

most importantly,

I fell in love with the way you looked at me.

You haven't looked at me like that for a while now.

The truth is,

we don't love each other that much anymore.

Am I right?

The most important thing to us now

is the responsibility to our families.

Take care.

Have a safe journey.

I've searched his room,

but I couldn't find it.

He must have moved it to another place.

I'll think of a way to fish for information at dinner later.

That might work,

but I think you should...

What?

What?

Why are you taking so long to change?

Are you done yet?

I'm done.

What do you think?

You look like you're attending a funeral.

That's what I want.

The uglier, the better.

What did you say I should do?

Be nicer to him,

so that he'll trust you more.

Really?

Really.

Just do as I say.

Wear something else.

You're so beautiful.

I ordered the most sumptuous food.

You were right.

Since I'm already here,

why should I resist?

I should just enjoy myself.

Do you know why I need you?

You were the only one who'd say no to me.

"Tian Ching, why are you so cruel?"

"Tian Ching, can't you be a good person?"

Actually, those words really moved me.

I thought those were insults.

Not at all.

You know me best.

May I ask you for a dance?

I don't know how to dance.

Someone is here for you.

I need to attend to something.

Don't forget about the favor.

We've already sent the mortal back to the world of the living.

Well...

Give me more time.

I'll give you what I owe without any delay.

-Is there a problem? -No, none at all.

Looking for me?

Why are you here?

We're here to look for clues.

You're here to check if I'm hiding something.

Yan Hong...

we really can't rule anything out.

Suit yourselves.

It's suddenly so stuffy in here.

I'm leaving.

-Thank you. -Come on.

All of them said

Yan Hong sat there and played until late that night.

-Come on. -Yes.

I got the same responses.

Mr. Pan, should we check the back alley?

Let's go.

Hey.

You said Lim Tian Ching asked someone to give him more time?

Yes.

But I didn't see his face.

I only saw his green shoes.

Green shoes?

How are you able to roam about freely now? Where is your servant?

I've started to enjoy being the lady of the house.

Hey, you shouldn't follow me.

-It's too dangerous. -You need a lookout.

Are you kidding me? I need a lookout?

I'm a Heavenly...

There's a door here. Get inside.

What's the matter?

This?

"Find her," he says. Fuck! But this house is so big!

He keeps asking me to find, follow, and accompany Mrs. Lim.

Who will accompany me then?

I think she has left.

This wall can move.

There's a way inside.

Push it hard.

Let's go down and take a look.

It's a secret room.

Hey, be careful.

What is the color of the box again? Red?

Red.

Let's look around.

Looks like it's just a storeroom for miscellaneous items.

There's nothing here.

I found it.

Wordless scripture.

What was that?

Probably a zombie guarding the scriptures.

Someone's coming.

Hide.

Hide him.

Hurry.

Damn it. We were so close.

When did you take it?

You're so agile.

I learned from you.

There's something about these scriptures.

I saw the same thing in the Lim house.

But I don't see anything special no matter how I look at it.

There are no words or drawings. Nothing at all.

Did you get any information from Lim Tian Ching?

He was nervous when I put a glass on top of the book.

He must have been scared it would get wet.

What's this?

This is a very valuable Black Pearl.

So Lim Tian Ching is using this to bribe those in the Netherworld.

We've found proof.

Next, we need to know which judge he's in contact with.

If Tian Ching needs to please him,

then he must have invited him to the party.

Let's go.

Missy.

Missy.

-Did you hear that? -Hear what?

-Hey. -Missy.

Mr. Wong?

Missy.

-Can you see me? -Missy, there's not much time.

We found a medium to open the portal to bring you home.

The entrance is between the two posts.

Once the posts light up, it means the portal is open.

But it won't be open for long, so you have to be quick.

Mr. Wong.

Mr. Wong!

Mr. Wong, wake up.

There's not much time.

You must hurry.

Go.

Move!

I've told Missy already.

Incredible.

Where did they find this incredible medium who can open the gate of the Netherworld?

Li Lan, leave while you can.

Leave the rest to me.

Who will back you up if I go?

I'm a Heavenly Guard. You think I need a backup?

Leave while you can!

What are they?

We're in the Netherworld. They're ghosts, of course.

They're getting closer.

You don't have much time. Go!

Go! Leave, now!

What now?

You're good at evading me.

Let's see where you can escape to.

You're hurt.

I'm fine. It's nothing serious.

Why didn't you use your powers?

You have no powers here?

The Netherworld isn't a place for Heavenly Guards like me.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

I'll send you back to the world of the living safely.

I promise.

What should we do next?

Li Lan?
