Synopsis
The mixed-genre adventure fantasy drama series tells the story of Xu Qi’an, a police academy graduate who finds himself transported to an unfamiliar alternative historical reality filled with Confucians, Taoists, Buddhists, demons, and sorcerers. Upon waking up, he discovers he’s in a prison cell and is set to be exiled to a remote town in three days. His second uncle in this new reality in the Dafeng Dynasty, Xu Pingzhi, is framed for stealing tax money, leading to the imprisonment of the entire Xu family. To save his family, Xu Qi’an uses his knowledge from criminal investigation books and his understanding of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to uncover the truth behind the theft and clear their names.
Xu Qi’an catches the attention of the night watch patrol group organization that reports to the emperor and becomes one of their members. In the demon and magic-filled world of Dafeng, Xu initially aims only for self-preservation and a leisurely life as a wealthy man. However, his sense of justice propels him to act when his superior attempts to rape the female members of a guilty minister’s family during a house search. Although he knows intervening could lead to his death, he draws his sword to uphold justice.
Chief Guardian of the night watch Wei Yuan then tasks Xu Qi’an with investigating the Sangbo Lake explosion case. Xu Qi’an successfully identifies the mastermind, removes corruption from the court, and restores peace. Unbeknownst to him, other forces were behind the Sangbo Lake explosion, and a sealed object from the lake has entered his body. Feeling like a pawn in a larger game, Xu Qi’an resolves to become a player instead, determined to uncover and confront the hidden powers. Years later, as he looks back on his past, he sees a trail of fallen enemies behind him.
