Lu Jiusi, a frail little policeman in the city, was accidentally involved in the intrigues of two major rivers and lakes sects and the court. He gets to know strange people and old enemies, and travels between strange cases, political intrigues, and the love between his children. The story lines of the three volumes run in parallel, including Lu Jiusi infiltrating a gang of gangsters to investigate family grievances, exposing major court cases, and outwit the conspiracy of the Jianghu Demon Cult. He uses the wisdom and humor of the little people to grow up in the struggle for power, the test of friendship and the choice of responsibility. He finally breaks the bad habits and old systems, returns justice, and makes life-and-death decisions under the happy reunion.
