The demon Night Chen, once supreme across the myriad worlds, was betrayed by his closest friend and the leader of the righteous path just as he was about to overturn the Heavenly Dao. His soul was shattered. Hundreds of years later, he awakened in an era undergoing "reform," reborn in the body of Shen Lian, a lowly probationary judge in the Great Yan Dynasty's Prison Suppression Bureau, which handled supernatural cases. This era proudly proclaimed itself enlightened, with the righteous path reigning supreme. It ruthlessly purged the demonic traditions of the old age and established a hypocritical order.
