Jiang Liansheng transmigrates to a world where people cultivate through merit, starting with zero merit.
While others meditate, she helps old ladies cross the street. While others retreat into seclusion to seek enlightenment, she helps widows carry water and chop wood.
Everyone laughs at her for being foolish. "Saving up merit? Can you eat that stuff?"
Then one day, she opens the Merit Shop
"Lotus Sword Art, three thousand merit. Reverse cause and effect, one hundred thousand merit. Create the Lotus Realm, priceless."
Her opponents follow the path of vice.
They deceive, steal, and leave people to die. The higher their vice score, the stronger they become. Her opponents get rich overnight, while she spends three months saving up.
One opponent sneers at her. "You'll never catch up to me in this lifetime."
Jiang Liansheng says nothing. She simply opens the shop
"Would you like to dedicate all your merit to all living beings?"
In that moment, golden lotuses rain from the heavens, and the myriad worlds tremble.
Her opponent's retribution value, meanwhile, has maxed out.
The Merit Shop has fixed prices, while the Hall of Vice is haunted by countless ghosts.
She spends a lifetime accumulating good deeds. They spend a lifetime accruing karmic debts.
Let's see who attains sainthood first, and who is condemned to the endless abyss.
