This is a story about pursuit and protection.
The main plot is very simple: Twenty years ago, Zhu Yikun, the crown prince of King Jing, was poisoned to death, and his bones were buried in a dry well in a mass grave. One day twenty years later, a young man (Zhu Jue) who escaped from the imperial edict and a woman (Lin Wei) who borrowed a corpse to resurrect the soul were involved in this old case by accident. They fled all the way, investigated all the way, and with the help of countless people - the wet nurse Qin who had pretended to be crazy for 21 years, Gu Zhenguan who had been investigating the case for 20 years, Gu Qing who protected the clues with his life, and the businessman Chu Xiang who secretly protected them - finally found the dry well, dug up the prince's bones, and made the truth known to the world.
But what this story really wants to say is those people who "can't let go".
Nanny Qin, who couldn't let go of her young son, pretended to be crazy for twenty-one years, just to wait for justice. Gu Zhenguan, who couldn't let go of his son, died in the hands of those people after twenty years of investigation. Unable to let go of his father, Gu Qing walked into the mass grave alone and never came out again. Lin Wei and Zhu Jue, who couldn't let go of the child, spent their entire lives guarding those memories and those graves.
And the child himself - Zhu Yikun. He only lived for eight years, but he used his last strength to say to his wet nurse: "Mommy, I have become a star and look at you every day."
He literally became a star.
