Introduction to the work "The First Creation of the Mirage"
Top lawyer Chu Shanhai discovered that the world runs on a secret "contract between gods and humans" - the beings in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" are using human emotions and memories as currency to trade fate.
He was invited to join the "Phantom Firm" to undo these unequal contracts for mortals: find loopholes in the charm terms of the nine-tailed fox, set logical traps for the gluttonous greed, and use ancient codes to fight against the God of Efficiency.
However, the iron rule of Mirage is: every time a contract is severed, he permanently loses a kind of humanity. Reason gradually swallows up his joy, fear and empathy, and victory pushes him to the edge of inhumanity.
When a "contract keeper" appears and entrusts him to renegotiate the "Heavenly Way" general agreement that locks the fate of human civilization, Chu Shanhai must answer: Fighting for freedom for all living beings with a gradually cold heart - is this the most rational choice or the final proof of human nature?
This is an extreme battle of wits in urban mythology, with rules as the blade and human nature as the bet.
