The Negligence List

When Chinese lawyer Lin Xia receives an ancient Qin dynasty bamboo slip from a dead client, she inherits a lethal legacy: complete five digital-era crimes modeled on a 3rd-century BC negligence case, or forfeit 200 million yuan. Her first task coincides with her entire social media being hijacked — every account, every message, every identity she owns is now controlled by an unseen executor who forces her to blur the line between deliberate crime and mere oversight. As she commits one negligent cybercrime after another, she realizes the true inheritance is a psychological trap designed to prove intent. To survive, she must exploit the very legal distinction between negligence and malice that saved a petty official two millennia ago.
