The Injustice Register

Chi You left a message from the Milky Way: 'Matters of the world, matters of the gods—gods play, humans die; gods rage, humans die. You save people, you die; he saves people, he dies. To save, who can avoid death?' Zhu Yan asked the heavens: 'The Xia family boasts a prosperous era, yet the people have no home to return to. White bones lie exposed in the wild, neighbors are orphaned and lonely. The Xia king boasts of peace, but feudal lords vie for private slaves. Livestock still have value, but human lives are cheaper than dirt. Hereditary rule boasts a perfect world, but princes and marquises fight for hegemony. In prosperity, the people suffer; in ruin, the people also suffer.' This is a novel, not long—only 100,000 words. Read it at your leisure!
