Su Watang, who was born into a poor family, joined the Documentary Department of the Shang Palace Bureau as a female historian in order to relieve her family's difficulties. With her photographic memory, precise insight into human nature, and impeccable handling methods, she gradually solved the errors and omissions in the documents from the last records, resolved conflicts within the department, and assisted in the retrial of old cases. During the confrontation with her cold-faced boss Pei Yanzhi, she uncovered the truth about the injustice done to her family ten years ago. The two went from testing each other to breaking through the situation side by side. They not only wrote a smooth counterattack that "women can also control the balance" in the officialdom and workplace, but also harvested an evenly matched and sweet love in the shared adversity.
