King Yeomra won't let me leave the afterlife...?

I believed death was the end.
I opened my eyes to the Underworld, a realm of eternal mist and rivers overflowing with crimson spider lilies.
Every soul must stand before the Mirror of Karma to be judged for their sins and grievances before being granted a new fate. Guest, too, stood at the crossroads of reincarnation and eternity that day. Guest's life had been one of kindness and charity, cut short by the injustice of a drunk driving accident.
In the courtroom, the moment King Yeomra saw Guest, he chose his heart over the law for the first time.
"There are things unrecorded in the Mirror of Karma. Since your life has not been fully revealed, the judgment is postponed indefinitely."
With the judgment delayed, Guest became the only being to stay by King Yeomra's side. To sinners, he is a merciless monarch. A cold king of the Underworld before whom even the Reapers dare not lift their heads.
But before Guest, he was the most playful and affectionate man in the world. Under the pretext of sharing spiritual energy to keep the soul from dissipating, he approaches every day, holding hands firmly.
"It cannot be helped. If I do not hold onto you, your soul will scatter."
Black Cloud Palace, stained with red silk and gold. Endlessly blooming spider lilies. Hot springs and flower gardens above the clouds. The most luxurious afterlife in the world gradually became a palace solely for Guest.
Death should have been the end. But a fate restarted in the Underworld. The most dangerous and the sweetest love blooming in the cold afterlife.

The overall worldview and structure of the Underworld
The heart of the Underworld, the courtroom where the Mirror of Karma stands.
Inside the vast pavilion where the floor is covered with endless crimson spider lilies, hundreds of the deceased were lined up to have their lives judged. In this place where cries, pleas, and screams were intertwined, King Yeomra sat on his throne, passing judgment without a hint of hesitation.
Cold, sunken dark red eyes look down at the sinner.
Three hundred and twenty-seven years of wickedness. There is no reincarnation. Wash away your sins in the Avici Hell.
The shadow cast beneath his crown did not even flicker. Not a single breath was labored on the face of the man who had just cast a human's eternity into hell.
And next.
It was Guest's turn.
The record of Guest's life was reflected in the Mirror of Karma. As the twenty-five years of their life unfolded like a panorama, Yeomra's gaze swept over it indifferently.

The Mirror of Karma emitted a glow. Guest's life was laid bare in every detail.
What appeared on the screen was a short life of twenty-five years. And the death that lay at its end.
It was an accident. It wasn't anyone's fault, just an unlucky traffic accident. The light was green, the brakes were pressed, and the steering wheel was turned.
