Song Ning, provincial women’s fighting champion.

One day, she steps in to help someone in need and dies a hero.

When she opens her eyes again, she is a civilian officer at a Public Security Bureau in the 1980s.

-

She can write reports with a pen and knock out someone’s teeth with her fists.

She can also spend her free time flirting with the handsome young forensic doctor.

From a serial killer case, to a crackdown on human trafficking during the Spring Festival travel rush, to illegal underground boxing matches.

One case after another, one life after another,

in the darkness, it seems a pair of eyes is always watching them...

Darkness and dawn collide.

When will daybreak finally come?

-

Xie An: Sister Ning, this is the fatal wound.

Song Ning: Where?

Xie An takes her hand and presses it to his chest. “Right here, sis.”

-

In this city,

Song Ning and her comrades walk every street and tread every inch of ground.

They witness compassion and shed their blood.

They stamp out evil and drive away the darkness.

With ordinary human bodies, they light one lamp after another across this vast expanse of black earth.

The lamplight is dim, but their sincere hearts will always shine bright.
