Tiny Magistrate, Big Justice

Tiny Magistrate, Big Justice is a 78-episode GoodShort short drama. Brandon Cole is a seasoned veteran detective with decades of solved cases behind him and wakes up in the wrong century as an eight year old ninth-rank official in ancient era, the lowest rung of the imperial ladder. The local gentry have already decided he is a figurehead they can control. They miscalculate immediately. A celestial magistrate system activates just in time, and Brandon, drawing on every interrogation technique and investigative instinct from his past life, begins dismantling their assumptions one case at a time. He cracks a child abduction case in broad daylight with the whole town watching, outmaneuvers the gentry at their own game, and drives out the bandit threat they thought nobody could touch. Every victory earns system rewards: martial arts manuals, attribute upgrades, the tools of a legend in the making. He is eight years old. He is also the sharpest mind in the province. The locals call him Mr. Justice. They mean it with complete sincerity.
