My Ninth Life Came With an Underworld Hotline - Episode 17

On a torrential night, Lewis Kane is struck by a dump truck and hauled before a worried underworld judge. The judge sees a golden aura - proof of rare karmic merit - and appoints Lewis as the three realms' liaison, the underworld's representative in the mortal world to help meet crushing quotas. Lewis refuses. The judge reveals a curse: nine lifetimes of loneliness, and this is his ninth life. Accept the post or be trapped in endless solitary reincarnations. Terrified, Lewis pleads for a single life of love. The judge tosses him a smartphone that links directly to the underworld, then sends him back. That mysterious phone tips Lewis's fate and ignites a desperate, high-stakes search for connection.
