The Fair and Just True Lord

Xun Fei transmigrates into the Great Shang, a dynasty sustained by the Mandate of Heaven.

In this world, there are Buddhas, immortals, Confucian sages, and martial gods…

All are beings of immense supernatural power.

A single word can upend heaven and earth; a single word can set the four seas churning.

And yet!

In Great Shang, divine authority is bestowed by the emperor!

The emperor of Great Shang is the true Heaven.

Without the emperor’s consent,

Buddhas, immortals, Confucian sages, and martial gods are no more than castles in the air, fleeting as clouds.

Xun Fei studies the Legalist school, enters the court as an official, and pursues the path to transcendence.

He solves cases with [Perceive the Tiniest Detail], traps enemies with [Draw a Prison on the Ground], and slays foes with [Words Become Law]…

He cracks bizarre and baffling cases, vanquishes evil cultists, and wins unprecedented military honors, eventually becoming a Legalist sage of his age.

But then Xun Fei discovers that the greatest “thief” in the world is none other than the emperor of Great Shang.

“Steal a pearl and you’re executed; steal a kingdom and you’re made a lord… The one who steals all things under Heaven is the emperor of Great Shang!”

“If the sages do not die, the great thieves will never cease…”

“What I want is simple: fairness, fairness, and more fairness!”

“The Son of Heaven is subject to the same law as the common people. I, Xun Fei of the Legalist school, call on the emperor of Great Shang to die!”
