Nine Cities Sin Deed

The nine cities once signed a joint contract during the disaster of annihilation, borrowing life, food and vitality from the future. The contract saved the people of the past, but left the price to the descendants who have not yet been born. Eighty-seven years later, the returning ship docked with a black coffin. Debt bills without origin began to appear in the city: some people turned gray overnight, some people disappeared from the family tree, and some people's names were written into the debt deeds before they were born. Wen Zhao, a junior official from the Joint Contract Department, unexpectedly discovered that the creditor column on the contract that Jiucheng regarded as a life-saving artifact was always blank. When those in power prepare to use the future to quell disaster again, Wen Zhao must find out the truth of the year and answer a question that no one dares to ask—— If the prosperity of a city needs to be repaid by future generations, then are the people who are saved, or are they sins? What Jiucheng owes is never a debt from heaven. It is a sin contract that no one agrees to but everyone must repay.
