Cen Suchuan has no interest in women and no understanding of human nature. He's the notorious cold-faced King of Hell at the Linzhou Investigation Bureau.
But lately, he's actually learned how to give gifts.
Fashionable perfumes from Shanghai, hard-to-find foreign books, exquisite and expensive jewelry: one after another, they arrive at Deputy Director Shao Yanheng's home.
Shao Yanheng is quite pleased.
His subordinate, who watches him all day and can hardly wait to dig up some dirt on him, has finally learned a little about the social niceties of officialdom.
Little does he know that those gifts were never meant for him.
They were for his wife.
Theme: In troubled times, human nature is never simply black or white.
