Bizarre murders occurred one after another in Jinling City. The deceased had no injuries on his body and died without water, as if he had drowned. Chen Zhibai, an official from the Ministry of Punishment, was ordered to investigate the case. He appeared to be wild and carefree, but in fact he was thoughtful, using laughter as his armor and the law as his sword.
In an inconspicuous restaurant, he met Yue Shouqing, a wanted knight-errant. Those cold, frosty eyes hide an unknown life experience and hatred.
A serial case leads to a bloody feud ten years ago. The most trustworthy boss shows his fangs; the most ruthless young master repays kindness with his life. When the truth emerged, they discovered that the real enemy was sitting on the side of the dragon's throne.
The world of mortals is like a play, who is the real murderer? Who are the chess pieces? Who is the one willing to join in?
Intention: In troubled times, some people keep their innocence, while others fall into the quagmire. They arrive at the same destination through different paths, all because of the eternal light in their hearts.
