Lin Yue, a modern office worker, transmigrates into the Qingyun Realm and activates the Scapegoat System. Granted a long-lived body, he keeps a low profile for 500 years. Posing as a general store owner, he takes the blame for wrongful cases, earning rewards whenever he brings each case to a satisfying close.
In Qingyang City, he repeatedly takes the fall for a common girl, a beggar, and Su Qingyao, then strikes back at the real culprits, wipes out three great clans, and breaks through to the Golden Core Realm.
In Hanhai City, he tracks the Blood Fiend Cult and takes the blame for a loyal official, an old physician, and others. He destroys a branch, kills the cult leader, advances to the Deity Transformation Realm, and uncovers the Lingxiao Sect master’s conspiracy.
In the end, he infiltrates the Lingxiao Sect and exposes the master’s collusion with demonic cultivators. Joining forces with Su Qingyao and an upright elder, he kills the sect master. He then accepts a mission from the Immortal Realm and sets out on a new journey.
