The Fake Criminal Judge

Lu Ming's father, a high-ranking official, is falsely accused of plotting a rebellion and murdered on the eve of his execution. His close friend, the judicial officer Ye Zhiqiu, is ambushed and left paralyzed while investigating the case. Lu Ming disguises himself as Ye Zhiqiu, supporting his family and investigating the false charges against his father in his place. He must fool Ye Zhiqiu's young lover, his wife, and his family, while facing doubts from his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice and the attacks of a rival in love, a Commandant of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. When several high-ranking court officials are murdered and neither the Embroidered Uniform Guard nor the Eastern Depot can solve the case, Lu Ming, now renowned for cracking cases, is ordered to investigate. A shocking conspiracy lies behind the fog, and the truth is far more complicated than it appears.
