In fact, Zhong Kui died by suicide.
There were indeed certain issues with his state of mind.
However, even after his death, he was directly granted an extremely important position in the Underworld.
Responsible for balancing the Underworld and the Mortal World.
It's hard to say that this path wasn't predetermined, but no mythology has ever explained any connections behind Zhong Kui.
Now, it can be clarified. Perhaps Zhong Kui, among those with a Life Chart, was the most suitable. In terms of balance, they ultimately chose Zhong Kui, who had accepted certain Confucian and Taoist thoughts.
Take, for example, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Each of these eight has their own story, but they indeed don't seem irreplaceable.
From ancient times to now, there have been many seekers in the Primordial World, and there are definitely many like these eight. Yet, this result was ultimately chosen. If it's related to the Life Chart, then it makes sense.
