[The sweet son of heaven, the cold-faced young lady × the weird spirit, the daughter of the guilty minister of the little sun]
[Ancient detective case + two strong forces joining forces + slow passion + suspense in the court]
Twelve years ago, Xie Huaizhang, the head of the household department, died in prison on charges of corruption. Six-year-old Xie Pengning was sent to Xiangyang and became the daughter of a criminal official.
Twelve years later, she came to Beijing with an old marriage certificate. She wanted to use her former fiancé's hands to investigate old cases, but she watched him die in his new house on his wedding night, and she became the number one suspect.
The person who was interrogating her was Jiang Xuwei, a cold-faced and disciplined young minister from Dali Temple. She is good at pretending to be stupid and hiding her edge, and dares to use herself as bait; he only believes in evidence and not people, but he makes exceptions for her and blocks the knife for her time and time again.
A page of missing account books, a missing bride, and an autumn platform that had been closed for many years gradually revealed the murderous plot of powerful people that spanned twelve years. Everyone advised Xie Pengning not to investigate further, but Jiang Xuwei stood beside her: "I will investigate the case, but you will also keep your life."
She wanted to clear her father's grievances, and he wanted to abide by the laws in his heart. But when the truth reaches the depths of the court, they realize that the most dangerous thing is not the murderer hiding in the dark, but the fact that they are still willing to trust each other with their backs and hearts despite knowing that the road ahead is uncertain.
