Su Yanqing disguised herself as a man, just to earn fame and investigate the murder of her parents.
However, on the day the results were released, she lost her name and was replaced by the son of a wealthy gentry.
She questioned it in the street, but was falsely accused of fraud and imprisoned, with her life hanging by a thread.
In a desperate situation, she met three equally destitute men:
One is a cold-faced general (Xie Linyuan) who has been deprived of military honors and is full of blood feud;
One is the son of a calculating merchant (Gu Changge) who was abandoned by his family;
One is a brave and loyal orphan of the frontier army (Lu Xiao) who was framed as a collaborator.
The four of them formed an alliance and obtained key account books in the black prison, but this led to a crazy pursuit by Jiangnan officials.
After narrowly escaping death, they fled to the capital, thinking they could seek justice.
Little did they know that what was waiting for them in the capital was a deeper trap——
The high-ranking and sanctimonious censor of the dynasty (Cui Yan) is the starting point of all conspiracies.
