When he wakes up, Lu Chuan finds himself lying in the hotel room where he was falsely accused of rape in his previous life. A woman lies unconscious on the floor, and the police are about to break down the door. History is about to repeat itself! In his previous life, this frame-up landed him in prison, prevented his high-ranking father from getting promoted, and left his grandfather retiring with regrets. From then on, the family fell into decline.
In a race against time, reborn Lu Chuan draws on his memories from his previous life and turns the tables, playing along with the scheme to protect himself and bring down the mastermind, the son of the executive deputy county chief. It is his first step on the road to revenge.
To stay out of the limelight, Lu Chuan volunteers for a temporary post at the grassroots level. In this impoverished county, he meets Su Wan, a county magistrate who works tirelessly for the public. The two come to admire one another as they navigate the challenges of poverty alleviation and the forces of organized crime, but their closeness also makes them targets of relentless harassment and retaliation.
