During the late Qing Dynasty, as corruption runs rampant and foreign powers exploit a weakened China, the people suffer under the weight of injustice. Amid this chaos, an unlikely hero quietly rises—Song Shi Jie, the sharp-witted son of a jailer.

Having grown up among prison cells, Jie has witnessed the darkest sides of humanity—the cruelty of the corrupt, the failings of justice, and the fragility of the law. Disillusioned by fame and fortune, he helps his friend He Shouxin achieve the prestigious title of Jinshi (top scholar) before disappearing into a carefree life of wandering with his loyal brother, Song Ajiu Lang. Together, they roam the land, living by the motto: “enjoy the wine today, worry about tomorrow later.”

Gifted with quick thinking and persuasive charm, Jie easily handles run-ins with bandits, bullies, and all manner of troublemakers. But his life changes forever when he crosses paths with Linglong, a fierce, mysterious woman with unmatched martial arts skills and a temper to match. What begins as conflict soon turns into a bond—one that reshapes both their fates.

As Jie steps onto the path of justice, he becomes a famed folk lawyer, known throughout the land for solving even the most baffling of cases. Together with his formidable wife Linglong, loyal brother Jiu, and clever maid Xiao Feng, they form an unbeatable team. No mystery is too great, no case too complex—their pursuit of truth and justice knows no limits.
