On rainy nights in Linjiang City, a legend with two faces lurks.
Former forensic consultant Lin Chen was once a man of pure conviction who believed in justice. But after his fiancée, Su Wan, was brutalized by a criminal syndicate and the real culprit escaped justice, he became a disgraced fugitive. In his darkest hour, he became Qiming, a man in a silver mask who brings salvation to the desperate at the Dujie Hall in the dead of night. He cures poison, saves lives, and punishes evildoers, spreading hope like a god. But when he removes the mask, he is a vengeful man on the edge of the law, wielding his forensic expertise and ruthless methods to cut down all who are guilty, becoming a demon who strikes fear into people’s hearts.
For three years, he has struggled between light and darkness, using a “god’s” compassion to safeguard his conscience and a “demon’s” madness to soothe his pain. Then an anonymous text arrives, revealing the whereabouts of his fiancée’s older brother, Su Mingzhe, the informant who betrayed them back then. A battle to the death with the drug-trafficking group Viper is about to unfold at the docks in the west of the city.
Beneath the mask lies a glimmer of salvation; above it, the flames of revenge. Lin Chen must protect the goodness that remains in his heart while sending his enemies to hell. Will this journey where gods and demons intertwine lead him to the shores of justice, or plunge him into the abyss of darkness? As the rain pours down, the prelude to the settling of old scores has begun.
