Xie Mingzhao, a newly arrived widower in Lin'an City, suddenly heard the voice of Jiang Zhiyi, the daughter of the county magistrate, while performing an autopsy in Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city. That day she came to identify the body. She was a dignified official lady, but she kept thinking in her heart, "This man is more handsome than the young master in the storybook." He was so shocked that he almost dropped the silver needle in his hand.
From then on, Jiang Zhiyi's thoughts followed her like a shadow, and Xie Mingzhao could always "hear" her complaining about the boring female celebrities in the boudoir, or her excitement when she sneaked out of the house to watch the sideshows. He discovered that Jiang Zhiyi, who seemed to be well-behaved, actually yearned for freedom, and inadvertently "heard" her hidden admiration for him.
Xie Mingzhao suppressed this "privilege" of knowing everything and only silently cooperated with her preferences. Until Jiang Zhiyi was involved in a murder case, he used the clues he heard to help her out, and the relationship between the two gradually became clear. However, this special "listening" ability also allowed Xie Mingzhao to see clearly Jiang Zhiyi's uneasiness due to his life experience. He slowly smoothed the wrinkles in her heart with the most simple companionship, and composed a long-lasting love song amidst the fireworks of ancient Lin'an.
