In the Dajing Dynasty, there was an undercurrent in the court, and the game between aristocratic families and poor families never stopped.
He is Si Qizhu, the censor Zhongcheng who came from a poor family. He won the favor of the emperor with his prodigy in solving cases and his ruthless tactics. Wearing a moon-white brocade robe, he has a warm smile on his lips, but there is ice in his eyes that cannot be melted away. He is used to hiding a knife in his smile, and uses his strength to fight step by step in the turbulent court.
He is Ling Yuangui, the head of the Shenxing Department, a down-and-out child from a branch of the aristocratic family. He is dressed in black official uniform and has a cold and distant temperament. When solving cases, he emphasizes evidence and is reasonable. He seems to be impartial, but he always shows his softness when no one is around. Reason and compassion are contradictory and harmonious in him.
A "Jade Faced Yama" serial murder case tied together two people who were supposed to check and balance each other. The toner and chess pieces at the crime scene, and the mandala flower on the face of the deceased, implicated the corruption of the official minister, the secrets of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and even the undercurrent of the prince's struggle for the throne.
During the investigation, Si Qizhu set up a trap step by step, but couldn't help but look at the cold Ling Yuangui in a different light, and his thoughts of protecting his shortcomings were hidden in his gentle temptation; Ling Yuangui saw through his evil intentions, but was repeatedly moved by his thoughtfulness, and his vigilant defense line quietly collapsed in the life and death battles.
There are games in the court and a series of murders. They are colleagues who work together to break the situation, and they are also the bond between each other. When the truth is peeled back layer by layer, and the blade of power is directed at the two of them, can they use the pen in their hands as the blade and the ruler in their hearts as their judgement, in this prosperous chess game, not only to protect the purity of their family and country, but also to keep their destiny in this life?
