I Judge the Sinners of the World in My Dreams

[Judgment] [Dreamscape] [Mystery and Mind-Bending Twists]

I, Sima Jin, am a penniless scholar who has failed the imperial exams time and again. Sickly and weak, I'm the useless nobody at the county yamen whom anyone can kick around.

The county magistrate's son beats me half to death and throws me into a woodshed. I think my life is about to end in humiliation.

But in the dream I have on the brink of death, I take the seat of a magistrate of the dead: [The Palace of King Yama]!

With the [Ledger of Sins] in hand, no criminal in the world can escape my sight. I awaken a godlike power to seize souls and judge their sins in my dreams!

The county magistrate's son who tormented me? I sentence him to be chased and bitten by a mad dog. The very next day, he is howling in the street.

From that moment on, my life is turned upside down.

By day, I'm still the obscure little clerk at the county yamen.

By night, I become the sole ruler who holds criminals in his grasp!

A wealthy merchant family wiped out in a case that shocks the whole county? A serial butcher hiding among the common folk? Corrupt officials who bleed the people dry?

In my dreams, they soil themselves in terror, spill all their secrets, and face their punishment.

I proceed step by step, using supernatural methods to drag one enemy after another into the abyss. I swear I'll uncover the shocking massacre that wiped out my entire clan!

No one knows that I am King Yama, walking among the living.
