Xie Shuyi holds fast to official histories and ancient texts, believing only written records. Xiao Yao travels across mountains, rivers, and villages, convinced that folk customs and rumors conceal the truth of the world.
Three years ago, the two clashed over a century-old unsolved case. Their opposing views drove them to bitter confrontation and, ultimately, a complete break.
A hidden relic is unexpectedly unearthed in a long-abandoned shrine, stirring up an old case buried in the past. The former archenemies are forced to work together once more.
They separate fact from fiction in the official histories and fill in the gaps with unofficial accounts. One traces the origins of the story through old books, while the other braves the wind to seek answers among the people. Together, they unravel the mysteries of time in secret places across the land. As they investigate side by side, they let go of their grudges and reconcile. Two strong-willed equals make peace and join forces to solve a century-old injustice, restoring the truth of a history that was altered.
