Ten years ago, the long embankment of Jelly broke and floods engulfed three counties. The governor of the river, Lu Chongshan, was convicted and beheaded, and the entire Lu family was destroyed. The surviving Lu Guanlan kept his name anonymous and secretly tracked down his father's old case by relying on his skills in recognizing water potential, channeling rivers, and settling accounts. Ten years later, cracks appeared again in the same section of the river embankment. A body hidden in the gate led her to meet Xie Tingzhou, the son of the inquisitor. One wants to overturn the case for his father, and the other wants to find out the truth behind his father's suicide. Two people with feuds were forced to join forces to investigate from fake river workers to missing grains, from local wealthy families to powerful officials in the court. But when the dusty evidence came to light, they discovered that the flood that year was not an accident, but a cruel trade in which people's lives were exchanged for the stability of the country. This time, they not only want to seek the truth for their fathers, but also prevent the people of the world from becoming numbers in the hands of the powerful.
Purpose: The truth should not be buried by the powerful, and the common people should not become the sacrificed numbers.
