He believed in science. He woke up in a world that believed in everything else. Jiang Tingyun arrives as a sharp, stubborn kid in a countryside full of talismans, foxes, ghosts and priests — and discovers that whenever he stands within three fathoms, spells fizzle, tricks trip and monsters lose their teeth. That red glow that follows him is not reputation: it's an honest, baffling aura that repels demons and ruins con men. Instead of bowing to fate, he starts making the supernatural accountable: saving wronged women, exposing predatory priests, and dragging the hidden corrupt into the light. This is a fast-moving, episodic crusade where logic collides with superstition. There are fights, humiliations turned into payoffs, and one principle Jiang repeats like a hammer: ghosts, foxes, and judges alike — serve the people, or be made to. Who will believe him first? Who will oppose him with court, corpses, or claws? And what happens when the underworld's rules refuse to be rational?
