Because he had drawn the crescent moon perfectly, a female ghost appeared onstage during the performance to seek justice. “Please, Lord Bao, take up my case and clear my name!” Following the female ghost's account, Zhou Qingtian solved a major murder case, allowing the wronged spirit to rest in peace.

From then on, he played Lord Bao and cleared the names of wronged spirits. In doing so, he solved one strange and uncanny case after another...
