Lord of the Burden-Bearing Lineage

In the Wang family of Qingyang City, Lin Yan was the least-noticed member of a collateral branch. He had worked as a bookkeeper for twenty years, and his lame leg made him a target for endless bullying.

The moment he saw his name on the main branch's sacrificial list, the Record of Burdens awakened: Borrowed lifespan and fortune must be repaid; cause and effect come full circle, and every debt will one day be settled.

From then on, the mortal world gained a fortune-adjustment master who helped people and saved lives. He never killed, nor did he harm the elderly or the weak, earning him the name Living Sage.

No one knew that every blood-red mark on the bamboo slips in his sleeve corresponded to a family on the brink of ruin.

Twelve burdens, and the reckoning of countless clans. He could calculate every transaction in fortune, but not the debts he owed himself.

It was only when the blood of the ancient Qiang tribe's extermination splashed across his face that he suddenly remembered his mother's final words:

What you reap will come back for you one day.
