Her name is Shen Qingya, and she is a small pen clerk in the Yin Division Judge's Mansion. Her daily job is to copy out the book of life and death for the judge.
Until one day, the real judge's pen chose her.
This pen has a bad problem: any name it writes in front of its owner in the mortal world will shorten that person's lifespan, and those who commit all evil deeds will be killed on the spot.
When the news spread, the government and the public were shocked. Corrupt officials put everyone in danger, Qingliu clapped his hands and applauded.
But Shen Qingya soon discovered that she couldn't control the pen. Whose name it wants to write is entirely up to its own pleasure. The only thing she could do was to read that person's life from beginning to end before writing each name.
Because there is only one rule in Judge Pen:
"You have to know why they died to be qualified to write this name."
So she began to read the dossier.
Read how a county magistrate was driven to a dead end by layers of exploitation; read how a general traded a city for his future; read how a mother knelt outside the court for seven days and nights.
After she finished reading, the judge's pen fell.
And in the court, someone also started to read her.
Xie Buyi, the son of the Taifu, was ordered to investigate the "demon book case", but after meeting Shen Qingya, he wrote on his book:
"The most dangerous thing about this person is not that she controls life and death, but that she learns to understand before judging."
