In Lan County, two magistrates have died in the past five years, and the population has fallen from fifty thousand to just over ten thousand. Now twenty-year-old Wang Yu is heading there to take up his post...

The Villains
Huang Bai Ren: Wang Yu, the county magistrate... Just hearing that name makes me tremble.
Qiu County Yamen: I spent four years building my dark kingdom, only for the county magistrate to destroy it as soon as he arrived.
Zhang County Deputy: Everyone fears me as the "Smiling Tiger," but in front of Magistrate Wang, I'm nothing.
Prefect Lu: Wang Yu, hmph, I think you're my superior, not the other way around...
The Good Guys
Royal Cat Zhan Zhao: I follow your lead, my lord, and will protect you with my life. Anyone who dares harm you, I'll kill.
Lu Xiao Ya: Sigh, I'm beautiful and rich. Why doesn't Brother Wang Yu like me?
Xiao Xuan Er: Brother Yu, I made you some delicious steamed pork. Come and try it!
Xu Wei: Being a secretary seems even better than being an official myself.
The People: Magistrate, we're truly blessed to have you.
The curtain rises on a land where the people live in poverty. Here, there are martial artists, the White Lotus Sect, barbarians, Japanese pirates, Tartars... With the sword in his hand and righteousness in his heart, Wang Yu climbs one step at a time, fighting his way through to a higher position...
