Do I agree or disagree with the conclusion of the Tản Viên Legal Drama?
Story Synopsis:
Conclusion of 'The Trial of Tản Viên Shrine': Upon Tử Văn's return to the mortal realm, Thổ Công invites him to the underworld to serve as a judicial official. Shortly after organizing household affairs, Tử Văn, without falling ill, departs. Someone from East Gate City, acquainted with Tử Văn, once had a chance encounter with him. Descendants of Tử Văn's lineage still exist, and it is rumored to be the 'House of Judicial Officials.'
I concur with the conclusion of 'The Trial of Tản Viên Shrine' because:
+ The ending reflects consistency in character and plot: Tử Văn, a courageous and justice-loving individual, is deserving of the role of a judicial official—a position responsible for verdicts and upholding justice. This is a fitting reward for Tử Văn. The storyline develops logically and coherently. In the preceding part, the underworld is depicted as a place with numerous complexities. Therefore, Tử Văn's descent to oversee and administer justice is entirely justified. The role of a judicial official also protects virtuous individuals like him, showcasing the people's belief that goodness should always be safeguarded, regardless of the realm.
