Three Unlucky Police Officers Solve Cases Together

[No romance] [Ensemble cast] [Social realism] [Episodic]

Xin Jizhong, a police academy graduate, gets lucky and finds a job: he joins the neighborhood police station as a grassroots officer. His ordinary life at the station brings him together with Dong Miaomiao, whose medical studies came to an abrupt end, and Guo Yong, a former soldier turned police officer.

For all three of them, their far-fetched dreams seem as unattainable as flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon in water.

Just as they begin to wonder whether they should settle for an uneventful life, an apparently routine rural assistance mission sends the three of them back to 1990 in their sleep!

Brawls, bones in the mountain forests, bloodstained quilts, a cellar in the backyard…

In an obscure little mountain village, three police officers from another world embark on a journey to solve cases, rise through the ranks, and uncover the mystery of their own origins.
