When the Shan Hai beasts escape, they possess mortals and grant people's wishes in exchange for devouring their souls.
The current chief inspector is gravely injured and missing, and the Shan Hai System is on the verge of collapse.
Gu Zhao, the former chief inspector, is forced to leave seclusion early and embark on a quick-transmigration hunt.
Faced with obsession-driven souls steeped in resentment, Gu Zhao has only one rule for hunting: enforce the law flexibly.
A vicious beast goes berserk? She uses brute force to send it straight to the afterlife.
A greedy beast causes trouble? She goads it into walking right into her trap.
A kind beast is deceived? She simply forces a contract transfer and takes it away.
The Shan Hai beasts think she's nothing more than a cold, unfeeling enforcer, but they don't know her mission has never been just to capture beasts.
“As long as the contract stands, the Shan Hai stands. If you want to touch my beasts, have you asked the chief inspector's seal in my hand for permission?”
Every small world plays out a tale of betrayal and redemption, until Gu Zhao discovers that the culprit who gravely injured the current chief inspector is hiding in the shadow of her transmigration...
