Core world view
Three thousand worlds away, there is an institution called the "Causal Judgment Department."
Its duty is not to maintain the plot, but to settle the cause and effect - when the cause and effect chain of a small world collapses due to external interference, the Judgment Division will send "executors" into the world to live out their lives in a certain identity, using themselves as the anchor to recalibrate the cause and effect.
The female protagonist, Yan Jiuzhi, was a partner of a law firm during her lifetime. After she died of overwork, she was selected by the Judiciary. She was not forced - the Judgment Division promised her that if she accumulated enough causal points, she could exchange for an opportunity to "disappear completely". She was too tired when she was alive, and now she just wants to go out of her mind and get off work completely.
The male protagonist does not have a unified name. His soul was marked as a "high-risk causal interference body" by the Judgment Division - in every world, he unintentionally became the trigger for the collapse of causality. Yan Jiuzhi's mission gradually changed from "calibrating cause and effect" to "stopping him."
As the mission progressed, Yan Jiuzhi discovered a secret: this high-risk disruptor was created by her own hands.
In her last defense, she defended a death row inmate. After the man was released from prison, he killed twelve people. The resentment of those twelve people condensed into this cause and effect bomb spanning three thousand worlds.
And among those twelve people, she included herself.
Purpose: What she fears most is not betraying procedural justice or making the wrong choice. It's because she's afraid of forgiving herself.
Therefore, the final goal of this story is not atonement or reversal of the verdict. It is a person who learns to forgive herself.
