At the execution grounds of the Great Yao Dynasty, the bluestone paving had been stained dark red by years of blood and grime. It looked like a vast, ancient brand pressed onto the heart of the resplendent imperial capital known as Tianjing. Traitorous generals, corrupt magnates, and bandit chiefs who had gathered in the mountains had all been executed here. Countless nameless commoners, no more significant than blades of grass, had also had their necks crushed beneath the executioner's blade. The executioner's heavy sword caught the light of day. With every swing, it carried out the cold, iron-hard statutes of the Great Yao Code to the letter, maintaining the empire’s outwardly rigid order. The streets remained lively. In teahouses, storytellers gesticulated wildly as they recounted victories on the border, while music filled the grand estates, as if the stench of blood from the execution grounds were no more than a speck of dust on the splendid robes of a golden age. Yet beneath that dust lay a class system hardened like iron: nobles were born to honor and privilege, while commoners struggled to survive. The law was less a just scale than a cold mold that kept everything in place.
In this strictly “defined” world, however, a kind of “chaos” quietly took root, something the statutes could not explain. The old chief astrologer of the Directorate of Astronomy often gazed at the stars at night and sighed at the empty sky. In private, he spoke of the inscrutable flow of “fortune.” Secret rumors circulated among the people that certain individuals always seemed to escape danger and stumble upon opportunities for no reason, while others could choke on a mouthful of cold water, as if Heaven and Earth had rejected them. Nobody knew that this ethereal “fortune” could be quantified and bestowed by an existence beyond the rules of this world, or that it could be turned into cold numbers and absurd missions, forcibly implanted in the mind of a dying person. It cared nothing for the laws of the dynasty or the bounds of morality
I didn't pay much attention to the novel recommendations in the group at first. But seeing that everyone was talking about it, I went to read it and found that this novel is really good! The author's writing style and plot arrangement are excellent and make people addicted to it.
The complexity of palace officialdom is written in great depth and is worth reading.
No one knows that this ethereal transportation can be perceived. It transcends rules and fascinates people.
The content is engaging. The feeling of not seeing enough
Nice work. The author is attentive and readers feel comfortable watching it

The novel looked interesting and received good reviews. Attracted me to
The law appears to be a just scale. In fact, there are many modes of landline. That was the background of that era at that time.
No need to worry. Is there any case that cannot be solved with a system? This book looks interesting
Can solve crimes. Solve major crimes. In one sentence, no matter how cunning a fox is, he cannot defeat a hunter!
