As the dynasty crumbled, Xie Queshan, branded a "traitor," tracked down Nan Yi, a beggar who had accidentally stolen a secret letter. To maintain control, Xie Queshan imprisoned Nan Yi in the Xie Manor, where she unexpectedly glimpsed a secret hidden beneath his mask. Amidst the chaos of the times, the two went from enemies with multiple attempts, fueled by their own ulterior motives, to repeatedly joining hands on the brink of life and death.

Shen Yichu joined the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Beijiang Branch as a mock portraitist, and was arranged by the leader to partner with the criminal police captain Du Cheng to handle the case. Du Cheng's initial provocations established the history of the relationship between the two. With the development of the subsequent plot, the close cooperation between the two pushed the confrontation between the characters to a climax. The compact plot, the flashing portraits, and the confusing clues of the case seem to tell the hidden truths and unknown stories one by one.

The story revolves around the secrets during the Three Kingdoms era, focusing on the intense rivalry between the Imperial Han and Cao Cao rather than the more famous events in history as we know it.
