During the Yong'an period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was an inconspicuous lantern shop in the South Street of Beijing called "Zhao Yifang". The proprietress Shen Zhao is only eighteen years old. She is taciturn and makes a living by making and selling lamps. No one knows that every lamp in the night square has a code word - a red round lamp means "peace", a white lamp hung at an angle means "trouble", and a high-hanging hexagonal glass lamp means "emergency". This set of "lantern language" was passed down by Shen Zhao's mother. Her mother died in a fire ten years ago, and she only left one sentence before her death: "When the lights are there, people are here."
Shen Zhao inherited Zhaoyefang and also inherited his mother's secret - using the lamp as a signal to help desperate women. A daughter-in-law who was abused by her husband's family, a daughter who was forced into a marriage by her family, an official's family who was framed and imprisoned... They hang a specific lamp in front of the Zhaoyefang, and Shen Zhao will help.
This year, Lin Wantang, the legitimate daughter of the Anyuan Hou Mansion, hung a red lantern in front of Zhaoyifang - asking for help. Shen Zhao used an exquisite "Lighting Game" to help her cancel the marriage. However, this divorce case actually involves the truth about the fire ten years ago. At the same time, Lu Yanzhi, a scholar who has failed many times, moved next door to Zhaoyefang - he seems to be down and out, but in fact he has a blood feud, and he is secretly pursuing the same old case.
One lamp illuminates a person, ten lamps illuminate a city. Shen Zhao and Lu Yanzhi went from temptation to side by side, using lamps as blades and light as shields. In the gap between power and justice, they lit up lamps that illuminate the night one after another for women in the world.
A golden saying: "The darkest road in the world must be walked by someone holding a light."

The lady who holds the lamp, she lets the lamp speak for those who cannot speak. Let those fists, knives, and the smell of alcohol all appear in front of a circle of lights. To illuminate is to force people to reveal what is hidden; to illuminate is to let everyone see what cannot be hidden.
