After being reborn, the heroine Shang Xian becomes a constable with the Wugou Bureau. Just after her rebirth, she learns that the strong and healthy General Dingyuan has suddenly died of illness. While investigating his death, Min Xi unexpectedly discovers that the seemingly impartial Minister Lu was responsible for the massacre of the Shang family. Meanwhile, the hero Wu Quzhuo is secretly investigating the same case. The two cross paths, and a clash brings them together. During the investigation, Xi Min uses a unique method her father taught her to uncover clues, drawing out Minister Lu, the mastermind behind the Shang family massacre. Wu Quzhuo is impressed by her and falls for her in secret. Xi Min and Wu Quzhuo join forces to gather evidence of Minister Lu’s crimes against the Shang family and expose his true face, clearing the family’s name. Only after Minister Lu is brought down does Xi Min discover the real reason the Lu family murdered the Shangs: they wanted to cover up the involvement of the Lu family’s eldest son in Prince Huainan’s rebellion against the State of Jing. War breaks out, and Xi Min stays in the capital to investigate the rebellion further, unmasking the mastermind, Prince Huainan, and the trusted aide working as his inside man. On the battlefield, Wu Quzhuo’s army defeats Prince Huainan. Working together from within and without, the two avert a crisis for the Great Yu and spare the people of both countries the devastation of war. With the realm pacified, Xi Min and Wu Quzhuo finally drop their last pretenses and become a couple.
