In the first year of Zhengde, the imperial court was in chaos, eunuchs gradually emerged, powerful officials formed cliques, and the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty were undercurrents of treachery. A shocking and unjust case of collaborating with the enemy caused the entire Wen family, a family that has been imprisoned for generations, to be executed. Only the young master Wen Jingxing managed to escape death and lurked in the market. In the past, the genius who was appointed as the executioner was reduced to a remnant of the guilty minister, hiding among the people and dormant for three years.
In the past three years, spooky crimes have occurred frequently in the capital: headless murders in secret rooms, ghosts in the posthouses destroying doors, official banknotes being stolen out of thin air, and phantoms in the palace harming people. Each case is bizarre and unsolvable, the government is prevaricating, and unjust cases are piled up one after another, all pointing to the deep-rooted forces in the court.
In order to clear up the family's bloodshed and redress the injustice, Wen Jingxing used a strange case in the city to return to the scene. With his unparalleled talent for solving crimes, meticulous thinking, and extraordinary courage, he uncovered layers of perjury, dismantled exquisite conspiracies, and uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes. Small cases break up the chaos in the market, and big cases stir up trouble in the court. He uses prison as his blade and the law as his armor, wandering among the forces of Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, the Civil Service Party, and the vassal king.
Conspiracies by powerful traitors, mischief by eunuchs, rebellion by vassal kings, secrets in the palace, and centuries-old cases have surfaced one after another. Wen Jingxing worked step by step, breaking through the layers of the situation. From a common criminal, he counterattacked and became the legendary executioner who controlled the Ming Dynasty's prisons and determined the good and evil in the court. He finally overthrew the traitors and the court, cleared the world of unjust prisons, and protected the Ming Dynasty's mountains and rivers.
