Lin Mo, a student of modern history, accidentally fell into the prosperous age of Wu Zhou, but found that he had become a recurring villain in the "Detective Di Renjie" series of cases - from the aide in the Youzhou case to the shadow of the snake spirit, from the paladin of the Black Clothes Club to the trader of Caoqu. His identity rotated with the plot, but he had only one fate: to die under Di Renjie's ingenuity or Li Yuanfang's knife.
Every death is a restart. He returned with memories of previous reincarnations, was familiar with Judge Dee's reasoning logic, and understood every detail of the case. However, he always lost at the last moment to those insightful eyes and the invisible shackles of "plot inertia." Thirty times, three hundred times, nine hundred times... Failures tempered the ruthlessness in his bones, from the initial survival to the later obsession-only by letting Di Renjie die can he escape from this endless reincarnation.
He set up a series of killings, stirred up the court with the help of snake spirits, used the Black Clothes Society virus to create panic, incited the internal guards to rebel, alienated the emperor and his ministers, and even used himself as bait. When the thousandth reincarnation came, Lin Mo finally stood in front of Di Renjie in the bloody setting sun in front of the Luoyang Palace. This time, he is no longer an abandoned piece on the chessboard, but the chess player. The moment the dagger was sheathed, Wu Zhou's world completely changed.
This is a fate-defying battle that spans a thousand lives and deaths. A villain steps on the bones of a detective and finally becomes the only protagonist in a dark epic.
