In 2026, the light of technology illuminates the prosperity of the city, but cannot illuminate the haze deep in the human heart. Crime breeds, morals decline, and there are always crimes wandering in the blind spots of the law, causing the victims' tears to fall silently.
Lin Yu, a seemingly ordinary young man, holds a special "ruler" - he can create a virtual trial space, allowing perpetrators to experience first-hand what the victims endure: bullies will feel the severe pain of being beaten, corrupt officials will fall into the abyss of suffering of their own making, and indifferent doctors will experience the despair of being unable to seek medical treatment.
He is not a judge, but he uses illusion as law; he is not a god, but he tries to bring justice to the world. On this thorny road, he met Chen Feng, a judge who adheres to legal principles, Li Hua, a top-notch hacker, and Zhao Yang, a wealthy young man with good intentions. The four people work side by side, using superpowers, law, technology and capital to declare war on campus bullying, corruption, indifferent doctors, organ trafficking and other darkness.
When virtual pain collides with real sin, and when minority justice confronts widespread indifference, can they open a crack of justice in this era between light and shadow?
