The former censor Shen Yan was framed by the powerful minister Su Song and died unjustly. His daughter Shen Zhiwei and her younger brother lived in a dilapidated house, determined to clear their father's wrongdoing.
Su Yan, the censor of the capital of the current dynasty, was Su Song's nephew. Although he held an important position, he was tightly bound by the clan and was forced to accept the marriage arranged by his uncle. He realized that there was an injustice in Shen's case and secretly reached a cooperation with Shen Zhiwei. Both of them restrained their minds and reason, and did not show kindness to each other. They only borrowed each other's strength, tested each other, and understood each other's shackles and difficulties.
Su Song and his chess player Liu Wanyi continued to set up traps, spread rumors, forged evidence, and repeatedly framed the two in an attempt to eliminate the possibility of overturning the case. Shen Zhiwei relied on his friends to secretly search for witnesses and physical evidence to protect his younger brother; Su Yan worked in the cracks between the court and the clan, secretly providing help. There were constant turmoils in the process, and several plans were on the verge of being exposed. The two were suspicious and supportive of each other. They cherished each other amidst the intrigues and intrigues. There was no one-sided rescue, but two-way support and redemption.
They united the honest forces of North Korea and China and overcame many difficulties such as alliance swings and evidence destruction. Shen Zhiwei's younger brother also gradually grew up. In the end, at the court, the two men worked together to present all the evidence of the crime, overthrowing Su Song's party, and the Shen family's injustice was vindicated.
After the storm settled and the utilitarian cooperative relationship was washed away, the two scarred people faced up to the forbearing feelings in their hearts and chose to stay together as equals and as confidants.
