This is a world where "cause and effect" determines everything. Those who kill must pay with their lives, and those who do good will be blessed by God. The protagonist Zhang Shouyi is a young Taoist priest in the City God's Temple, who is responsible for recording the good and evil in the world.
In the Daqian Dynasty, the imperial power declined and the princes were divided. Ye Guan is an illegitimate son of the Prince of Zhenbei. Because of his mother's humble background, he was bullied by his legitimate son since he was a child. When he was eighteen years old, the palace encountered a coup. He was falsely accused of patricide, had his limbs broken, and was thrown into the "jail" underground in the imperial city to die.
The town jail houses felons from past dynasties and abandoned martial arts lunatics. On the verge of death, Ye Guan accidentally activated an unnamed stone tablet in the prison and learned the remaining fragments of the "Prison Suppression Sutra". This book does not talk about moves, but only about "power" - suppressing the power of all laws.
Three years later, Ye Guan dragged his body out of prison. At this time, he was no longer a useless person, but a "prison master" with the power of suppression. The first thing he had to do was not to seek personal revenge, but to discover that his father's death was implicated in the theft of the entire dynasty's fate. This is a Machiavellian fantasy about "stopping killing with killing and reshaping the destiny of the country".
