Dare to Provoke the Little Judge? I’ll Send You All to the Netherworld!

Qing Bao was a three-year-old girl who died tragically in her first life. After her death, her kind soul was recognized by Yama in the Netherworld, where she became the youngest Judge in history. For ten years, she diligently judged souls and maintained order in the underworld. However, her peaceful tenure was shattered when a monkey stormed into the Netherworld and shredded the Book of Life and Death, erasing her name and all her accumulated merits. To compensate, Yama allowed her to return to her previous life, but in his haste, he forgot to retrieve her Judge's Brush, a powerful artifact capable of determining cause and effect. Qing Bao returned to the mortal realm with the brush hidden within her soul, eager to save her mother from the fate she had witnessed in the past.

Upon reincarnation, Qing Bao found herself in the body of a girl who had just been brutally beaten by villagers. Her half-sister, Su Mengmeng, had orchestrated the attack after Qing Bao’s kittens were killed. In her previous life, Qing Bao had been abused, had her eyes gouged out, and died in agony, leading her mother to take her own life after being framed for adultery. Now reborn with the wisdom and power of a Netherworld Judge, Qing Bao awakened in her damaged body. As Su Mengmeng ordered her to have her eyes destroyed, the Judge's Brush materialized, repelling the attackers and sending Su Mengmeng flying. Qing Bao used the brush to force Su Mengmeng to kneel before the spirits of the dead kittens, exacting a small measure of justice before her grandmother, Old Madam Su, arrived.

Old Madam Su, biased toward Su Mengmeng and hostile toward Qing Bao and her mother Si He, attempted to frame Si He for adultery. She had bribed a man to kidnap Si He to the back hill, hoping to ruin her reputation before her husband, General Su, returned from battle. Qing Bao, using her Judge's Brush, rescued her mother and returned her safely to the courtyard just as the villagers arrived with the kidnapped man’s corpse. When a blind fortune teller attempted to summon the man's spirit to identify his killer, Qing Bao intervened. She questioned the ghost directly, forcing a confession that Old Madam Su had paid the man to harm Si He. The female ghost of a woman drowned by Su Dazhuang’s mother also appeared, revealing her own tragic past and killing her abusers before Qing Bao guided her soul to the underworld.

The truth exposed Old Madam Su’s crimes, leading to her public disgrace and loss of ancestral worship rights. However, the conflict escalated during the ancestral ceremony when General Su, blinded by pride and favoritism toward Su Mengmeng, demanded Qing Bao kneel before the Su Family ancestors. Qing Bao refused, stating that the ancestors did not deserve her worship. When General Su attempted to physically force her to kneel, the weather turned violent, and lightning struck him. The three Su Family ancestors manifested from their spirit tablets, terrified because Qing Bao was a Judge from the Netherworld whom they could not withstand. They beat General Su and the Clan Leader for bullying their blessed descendant, warning that any further grievance against Qing Bao would result in severe punishment.

Despite the ancestors' intervention, General Su remained unrepentant and left for the capital without Qing Bao and Si He, intending to abandon them. Qing Bao knew a great calamity awaited him on the journey but chose to stay behind to help her mother rebuild their lives. She revealed to Si He that her adoptive parents were missing in the capital and that they needed to return there to find them. With the Judge's Brush and her netherworld knowledge, Qing Bao began to navigate the treacherous family politics, determined to protect her mother and expose the sins of the Su and Si families. The story follows her journey as she uses her unique position to right past wrongs, protect her family, and bring justice to those who sought to harm them.
