During the Jiayou period of the Dajia Dynasty, the new magistrate Lin Zhaoming of Qinghe County encountered a bizarre theft case when he first took office. With extraordinary wisdom and meticulous reasoning, he peeled off the cocoon layer by layer, from an ordinary theft to a shocking gold robbery, and then uncovered a huge criminal organization that has been rampant in the world for twenty years - the Tianluo Society.
In the process of solving the case, Lin Zhaoming met Shen Qingyao, the daughter of the mysterious owner of Jubaozhai, and the two gradually fell in love. However, as the investigation deepened, he discovered that Qingyao's father was actually the core figure of the Tianluo Society. Faced with the dilemma of love and justice, Lin Zhaoming resolutely chose the latter and personally destroyed the Tianluo Society's power in Qingzhou Prefecture.
The case was solved, Lin Zhaoming was promoted to prefect, and he married Qingyao. But the remnants of the Tianluo Society did not give up. A bigger conspiracy is brewing - the real leader of the Tianluo Society, "Yam Luo", turns out to be an important official of the imperial court, Taishi. He has been lurking for twenty years, just to avenge the injustices he suffered back then.
In the final battle at the top of the Western Mountain, Qingyao died to save her father. The grieving Lin Zhaoming captured the traitor Liu Rumeng, and Yama also repented and voluntarily committed suicide. The Tianluo Society was finally completely eradicated.
After that, Lin Zhaoming was promoted to the director of the Supervisory Yuan, and he worked tirelessly to rectify the officialdom and benefit the people all over the world. Although he remarried Han Ruoxue, he always missed Qingyao in his heart. When he retired and returned to his hometown in his later years, he chose to be buried next to Qingyao's tomb, where he would stay with him until death.
This is a legendary story about wisdom and courage, justice and love, sacrifice and perseverance. Lin Zhaoming spent his life interpreting what it means to be a "real man" - he can not only resolve cases with a firm face and clean up the court, but he can also be tender-hearted and remain loyal until death.
Purpose: Between justice and personal love, choose to stick to the right path; between loss and rebirth, learn to look forward.
