Synopsis
Dead Jihwa Yeon returns as 1,001st Netherworld king candidate, facing brutal exams with only her goodness as weapon.
Jihwa Yeon died before her time. However, she is sent back to live the remainder of her life with a reaper to watch over her. She is also chosen as the unprecedented 1,001st candidate for King of the Netherworld. Now she must participate in brutal exams for the throne while getting burned for her trusting, helpful nature. She is told she is a "good person" and suspects it’s because she has no noteworthy traits. With no special powers, Jihwa will see how far being a good person will take her. (Source: Tapas Media)
