A judicial pioneer was unexpectedly reborn in the Southern Song Dynasty and restarted his life from a desperate situation. At the age of five, he has a photographic memory. At the age of seven, he can discern the law. At the age of ten, he has grasped the sword of modern legal principles and uncovered the first layer of truth in rotten old cases.
An old case of extermination of a family by a "ghost complaining of injustice" made him famous in the south of the Yangtze River; a execution of a man by sword exposed a dark web of imperial examination fraud; a complaint reached Lin'an and actually affected the chain of corruption among the prime minister's disciples.
From the county government to the Ministry of Justice, from case files to the court - he used modern judicial wisdom to redress unjust imprisonment, used precise logic to set up situations to punish corruption, and even touched the young emperor with the concept of "procedural justice". When the guillotine fell on the retrial of the old case, he bowed and presented the newly compiled "Xingtong Shuyi": "Your Majesty, if you want to save the Southern Song Dynasty, you must first save the hearts of the people."
When imperial power and etiquette clash, and ideals and reality collide, can he carve a bloody path for justice in this turbulent dynasty?
