In the sixth year of the Tianjin era, unlucky martial arts student Wei Tianfeng was framed for a crime and thrown straight into jail.
Luckily, he met Lin Yue Zhi, an assistant minister at the Court of Judicial Review, who braved the Regent's pressure to get him out and even secured him a position as a constable.
Who knew the Lin residence was also hiding a heavyweight “freeloader”: the reigning emperor, Xuan Yuan Jin!
The emperor refused to live in the palace and insisted on disguising himself to join the constables and experience life.
And so the Court of Judicial Review gained an extraordinary duo:
One moment they were helping Widow Wang find her missing undergarment, a mortifying ordeal that had them wishing the ground would swallow them;
The next they were raiding a brothel to catch a playboy skipping out on his bill, only to be teased by the courtesans one after another.
The most trivial little cases in the streets and alleys turned into a complete circus in their hands.
Wei Tianfeng had only wanted to do his job properly and make a name for himself on the battlefield.
But after spending every day with the cool and handsome Assistant Minister Lin, his admiration slowly changed into something else, and his heart went tumbling head over heels.
He had planned to focus on his career, but the court’s political games had other ideas.
The Regent, whose power dominated the court, schemed behind the scenes, while rival factions took turns stirring up trouble.
For others, political intrigue meant watching every step.
For Wei Tianfeng, it meant solving cases and making trouble while secretly crushing on his own boss.
But the Court of Judicial Review's assistant minister, who seemed like a little white rabbit, was actually a little fox, constantly tempting the big bad wolf.
How could an honest, simple-minded wolf possibly escape?
