Shadow Contract

There will be a crack in the sky in the north, a black wind will rise when frost falls, and the three disasters of epidemic, famine, and war will take turns. The reason why the world is still stable is that the ancient relic mirror "Tianheng Mirror" is anchored in Guixu Terrace - the mirror can collect misfortune, illuminate lies, and predict fortune, but it must use "shadow" as a weight: the people pay the shadow tax every year. Shen Zhaochen, a young man from a border town, saw his father and brother being conscripted and his mother neglected. Not one family was dying, but the entire northern border. He was brought into the Yunque Sect, thinking that cultivating immortals could save his relatives, but he saw a colder truth in the rules and righteousness of the immortal sect: the so-called protecting the world is just writing the price on other people's lives. During the escape and pursuit, he met the shadowless girl Jiang Wanci. She can resonate with the broken mirror and is the "key" to the combination. However, every time they are combined, she fades away and is forgotten in the world. Three broken mirrors appear in the world, and various parties can take them: some want to use the mirror to change their lives, some want to use the mirror to continue their path, and some want to use the mirror to establish authority. Looking at the opportunity, the three paths are parallel - there is no perfect solution, only people to settle the bill. When the shadow tax is about to end and the resurgence is coming, Shen Zhaochen finally understands: in order to save the people, he must first tear up the "shadow contract".
