The story takes place in the late Ming Dynasty. The country is prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is suffering from internal and external troubles. Officials in the court insist on integrity, scholar-officials uphold morality, and the people long for the great master Qingtian. But in fact, everything is a game shaped by power and public opinion.
In such an era, true justice is often buried, the definition of justice is manipulated, and people believe in a "moral shell" rather than true fairness and justice.
