Because of his father's involvement in the second year of Qingli, Zhang Long had a distant view of the court, resigned as a scholar, and left the temple. In the past eight years, he was involved in the aftermath of the Kunning Palace incident due to a corpse burning case, and met Yuluo Po, a Liao girl. The two were both in trouble due to the circumstances of the case, but were later cleared of their charges with the help of his old friend Tao Dong. Tao Dong was a disciple of Tongping Zhangshi. During the Yaoxiao Incident and Wang Ze's uprising, he was ordered by his teacher to commit treason. After the corpse-burning case was concluded, Tao Dong and Zhang Long stood on opposite sides and sacrificed their lives for Zhang Long, but he was killed by Zhang Long himself who did not know the truth. For this reason, Zhang Long was disheartened and left Gyeonggi Province. He investigated the "River God" case in Yingzhou with Ouyang Xiu, who had been sent to Chuzhou, and prevented the book burning incident that was about to be completed at the ancestral sea festival to preserve the cultural heritage. After the incident, Zhang Long bid farewell to the drunkard and entered the world. On the way, he encountered a case of gluttonous cannibalism and reunited with Yuluo Po. After experiencing various twists and turns and hardships of life and death, Zhang Long let go of his previous suspicions and developed a secret love for Yu Luo Po. After the Taotie case, Yuluo Po recovered her life experience and Han Chinese name, embarked on the road to confront her past self and seek a new life. In the first year of Huangyou's reign, Zhang Long returned to Bianliang due to a letter from Ouyang Xiu, and solved the "Blood Mandarin Duck" case of Daliao spy. In the same year, Wen Yanbo handed Tao Dong's suicide note to Zhang Long. Zhang Long was greatly shocked when he learned that his old friend had dedicated his life to the Song Dynasty and hid on the banks of the Jialing River. The following year, Yuluo Po and Zhang Long met and brought news of the Yinxian magistrate's implementation of new policies on farmland, water conservancy, and economy. The two responded to the new policies among the people and once again contributed their talents and fame to the Song Dynasty.
