Law student Li Ke's soul traveled through the Qin Dynasty and became a humble jailer.
The laws here are like iron, and the torture is like a mountain. Only good officials can kill people according to the law.
When he tried to defend the prisoner with "no suspicion of guilt", his superior whipped him severely: "Qin Law, no matter the motive, only life or death!"
With the help of modern forensic thinking, he cleared the unjust case and worked his way up to the imperial judicial center.
Little did he know that he had stepped into the most dangerous chess game - the black market of arms, the mystery of assassination, the burning of books and the entrapment of scholars... A pair of eyes stared in the dark.
Close friends were silenced, Confucian scholars were framed and killed, and classics turned into ashes.
In the dark night when civilization was about to be cut off, Li Ke made the final decision:
Carve the fire of the rule of law into a carrier that is tougher than bamboo slips and bury it on the only path of history.
Two thousand years later, when archaeologists opened the mysterious bronze box, everyone knew -
There was once a small official who used his body as a lamp to illuminate the true appearance of the Dharma.
