Ten years ago, the entire Su family in Dali Temple was executed, and the whole family was convicted of treason and collaboration with the enemy. Only seven strange copper lamps were left at the scene, which became a closely guarded taboo in the capital.
Ten years later, the Xixiang Zhuhuo Restaurant has a cold female shopkeeper, Shen Zhu, who solves several mysterious cases with half a broken lamp. No one knows that she has a lot of blood feuds hidden in her sleeves. She returns with the lamp, just to overturn the ten-year old situation.
A series of "Lamp Festival" murders occurred one after another, and the deceased were all involved in the old cases. Pei Ye, a young law enforcement officer in Jingzhao Prefecture, crashed into the chess game.
He wears bright clothes and angry horses, and believes in the law like a mountain; she is as calm as the abyss, and kills every step of the way.
From tit-for-tat confrontation to side-by-side investigation, the two of them tore through the layers of fig leaves together: the traitor's power was only superficial, the prince's seizure of heir apparent was false, the coldest thing was the emperor's trade-off, and the most serious thing was the death of a loyal man.
She did not ask for the imperial edict to be rehabilitated, nor to be the imperial concubine. She only relied on a lamp, hoping that justice would be served in this prison, loyalty and good people would return, and that the imperial power would no longer be able to decide life and death at will.
The lamps are bright in the long night, some people come with hatred, and some people hold up lamps to illuminate each other, working together to carve out justice in the world.
Intent: Revenge, Machiavellianism
