Yunxiu, the legitimate daughter of the British government, met Xiang Xiao, the daughter of the former minister, who had her entire family wiped out and was left alone to seek revenge due to an unjust case.
One is a noble jewel in the boudoir, and the other is a lonely ghost with a blood feud. Two people who had no intersection at all became acquainted because of Xiang Xiao's vigorous appeal for grievance. They share a common obsession - there are too many "dead but innocent" innocent souls in the world, and leaving with hatred cannot be the only result.
In order to reverse the case for the Xiang family and seek justice for more people, the two teamed up to investigate the case. Plenty of strange and unsolved cases are before our eyes: if the cold legal provisions are cut down, every one of them is a "wicked person" who deserves the death penalty.
But peeling back the facts of the case, it is clear that underneath is a cannibalistic world, a cold heart, and a desperate situation.
In solving cases, they rescued those "dead but innocent" people time and time again, weaving a net from the darkness to catch the goodwill that was omitted by the law, and the fairness that was trampled by the powerful.
And the end point of all this is the truth about the Xiang family's shocking injustice case - and the forbidden area hidden behind the truth that even the Duke's government dare not touch.
