Gu Mingyi is the young owner of the Gu family, the largest water transport company in the south of the Yangtze River. He is also a widower who has been living in poverty for three years.
Outsiders only knew that she was quiet and disciplined, but no one knew that the Gu family had hundreds of watercrafts, seventeen shops along the river, and thousands of boatmen. The one who really obeyed the orders was not her father and brother, but her.
After the shipwreck in Qingshi Bay, the three thousand stones of official rations transported by the Gu family disappeared overnight. Forty-three boatmen survived, but no body was found on the river.
What's even more bizarre is that there are a total of forty-eight people on the missing list published by the government.
The five extra names died three years ago.
In order to save the Gu family and to find the missing boatman, Gu Mingyi had to investigate the case together with the prosecutor Zhou Heng.
This person had personally investigated the Gu family's military ration smuggling case, and had also signed her fiancé's execution order.
She wanted to use him to find out the truth, and also wanted to send him to prison with her own hands.
But as the clues left by the shipwreck gradually point to the court, an old case that had been closed resurfaces again. The dead regained their names, but the living were erased from the world one after another.
Later, everyone in the city knew:
The young master of the Gu family, who has been keeping his fiance safe for three years, is about to marry the cold-faced judge who executed his fiancé.
But no one knows whether this marriage was for life-saving, revenge, or to send a knife to Zhou Heng's pillow.
Intention: Amidst the buried truth and helpless choices, stick to conscience and take responsibility, so that everyone who has been sacrificed can regain their name and choice. This version takes into account unsolved cases, plots and emotional lines. It has a positive value orientation and is in line with the core of the story: true justice not only lies in saving more people, but also in respecting every specific person.
