Gu Zhaoning is the daughter of the former county magistrate.
When her father was killed, the county government said he was a bandit, but she didn't believe him.
When the new county magistrate arrived, she knelt in the mourning hall and met his eyes. She didn't know who he was, but he recognized her - the girl who saved him in the ruined temple five years ago.
She disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the county government office, using the pseudonym "Gu Qing" and staying as a scribe.
Five murders occurred one after another. She found her father's letters in the case file, found her father's bones by the dry well, and spelled out the truth from Lao Zhang's confession——
My father's death is not that simple.
She investigates the case and he accompanies her. She used him, and he let her use him.
In the courtroom, her long hair was scattered and her identity was exposed. He stood in front of her.
Afterwards she asked him: "When did you recognize me?"
"The day you knocked on the door."
"Then you still let me take advantage of you?"
He looked into her eyes and just smiled.
