Rule systems + logic + mystery + divine dynasty governed by rules + lawyer + fantasy
This is a battle of wits that uses legal reasoning to unravel the rules governing the world.
The story focuses on high intelligence, logical thinking, and fantastical investigations.
When rules become law, law becomes a shackle.
Lu Yan, a law student who transmigrates to a divine dynasty where rules are power, becomes the seventh person chosen to challenge a national-fortune dungeon.
Faced with absolute laws where one wrong step means death, viewers around the world are convinced this arts student is finished.
But then he opens the Heavenly Code, crosses out a prohibition, and proclaims to the heavens:
“Under Article Three of the Rules Dispute Appeal Procedure, I hereby challenge this rule...”
From then on, the divine dynasty loses a rule-follower and gains a litigator who wields rules like a blade, dissecting the empire and striking at gods and demons.
From earning a perfect score in the White Chamber challenge to taking charge of the Special Cases Office, he uncovers not only wrongful convictions, but also the festering wound this twisted world calls “fairness.”
The grand competition held once a century is approaching. The capital has become a chessboard, and every prodigy is a piece.
Lu Yan brushes the token inscribed with “Litigation” at his waist and smiles faintly at the immortals, demons, and powerful nobles filling the sky.
“I will preside over the trial now.”
“Defendant, this world, you may make your statement.”
