Synopsis

#Historical Political Intrigue #Tragedy of Human Nature #Based on a True Story #A Good Man Turns Bad #Qing Dynasty Mystery #Social Realism #Heartbreaking Realism

In the thirty-sixth year of the Qianlong reign, in Shandan, Gansu. Newly appointed county magistrate Wang Danwang, a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, gives away his entire fortune to provide disaster relief and save lives. The people call him “Wang the Just.” But the granaries are empty, the accounts are fake, and the official world has its “rules.” Three years later, he has become part of those rules, and there is no turning back.

This is not a story about a corrupt official. It is the story of how a good man gets consumed.
