Across the myriad heavens and realms, trades of karma run rampant.
Countless sinners cloak themselves in tragedy, wielding their grievances as weapons to steal other people's lifespans, fortune, and souls. With a set of lies difficult to distinguish from the truth, they win others' sympathy and exploit loopholes in the laws of karma.
Seventeen-year-old Lu Chi wields the Ancient Scales of Karma, holding the power to pass judgment.
The ancient scales can reveal wounds, but they cannot see into people's hearts.
There are no missions handed out by a System, nor any standard answers to guide him. He must unravel every truth and falsehood on his own, laying his plans and exposing one carefully woven lie after another.
Some say they steal fortune to save their loved ones. Others say they refine puppets only to keep their lovers by their side.
Everyone seeks forgiveness, compromise, and a way to have it all.
But Lu Chi's scales have never granted absolution.
The harm has already been done. Equivalent repayment is the only bottom line.
Tragedy does not erase sin, and sympathy does not count as a pardon.
Disguised good people, hypocritical victims, and parasites hiding in the cracks of karma.
Those whose true nature he exposes must either repay an equal price or face the end that comes when their karmic ties are severed at the root.
The young man walks alone across the myriad heavens. The scales rise and fall, and judgment shows no mercy.
