Insurance investigator Chen Zhe discovers the body of an unknown man in a post-disaster village. The body was destroyed, leaving only bird feathers and a mysterious medicine bottle. Clues lead to an upper lake and a painting. He tracked it to the gallery and discovered that the deceased was the down-and-out painter Cheng Yusha. Three years later, a similar code reappeared in an arson case. Chen Zhe intervened in the investigation, which gradually implicated the crime of Yan Yinong, the president of the Art Association, the twisted secret of "creative cultivation" of his illegitimate daughter Yan Ning, and the truth behind the mute girl Xiaoqi she adopted. Beside the lake on a rainy night, sin and redemption are intertwined. Everyone is struggling in the shackles of desire and conscience, and finally, washed by the flames and lake water, they move towards judgment and rebirth.

One day after the hero Jiang Xicheng got drunk, he told Li Xinyan, the general under King Chuang, that he would hide a map of an iron mine on a sword and present it to King Chuang. After sobering up, he realized that he had made a mistake, but for the sake of his reputation as a hero, he fabricated a story that would cause a huge panic, but he did not want to endanger his beloved wife to death by the sword. There were many turmoils in the world. Regretfully, he withdrew from the world, leaving behind the Queen of Night's sword and his only son Jiang Xiaoxie, who changed his name to Chu Jiangqiu and wandered in the world. A few years later, Bai Mancang, a wealthy family in Bazhou City, obtained the sword and gave it to Xiaoxu, the young master of Zhujian Villa, as a betrothal gift. Miss Bai Qian of the Bai family was dissatisfied with Xiaoxu's illness and went to the Villa privately to steal the sword back. Young Master Xiaoxu rushed to Bazhou City to ask for the Ye Hou Dao, and was invited by Zhao Mengjue, who was sent by the imperial court, to watch the horse racing meeting. At the horse racing meeting, Chu Jiangqiu suddenly appeared and was seriously injured by Zhao Mengjue's arrow. Bai Qian rescued Chu Jiangqiu. On the river bank, the two of them saw a large boat approaching slowly. It turned out that Zhong Yixue, the master of Yucheng Xueling Palace who was deeply in love with Jiangxie City, heard the news and came to snatch the knife.
