During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shaofu Supervisor Shen Cong received an emergency order: within three days, the priceless tribute "Feng Yun Brocade" would be sent from the workshop outside the city to the palace to celebrate Concubine Liu Guifei's birthday. Faced with the high-ranking but secretly obstructive boss Lu Zhengming, layers of complicated bureaucratic documents and inspections, and the power of thieves who covet brocade and silk, Shen Cong had to join hands with the craftsman foreman Wei Quan to break the situation. In the dimly lit streets of Bianjing, he gradually changed from cautious and rule-abiding to bold and astute, from naive and fearless to a strong man with insight into power; the dangerous emergencies constantly portrayed his journey of responsibility and loyalty. In the final sprint of 72 hours, when the brocade arrived at the gate of the imperial city, a test of officialdom and human nature really began... This is a thrilling legend of how little people protect their ingenuity and responsibility and rise from the ashes in the torrent of power.
