The story is set ten years ago when the entire Shen family was slaughtered, leaving only the young Shen Song as the sole survivor. Seeking revenge, Shen Song studied day and night, ultimately achieving first place in the imperial examination. He hoped the emperor would thoroughly investigate the old case of the Shen family but was instead demoted to a commoner. Witnessing the darkness behind power, Shen Song became completely disillusioned with the court and government, eventually becoming a chef. Although he seemed to have let go of his hatred in the kitchen, everything changed when a fire at the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival revealed dozens of skeletal remains, and the governor's inaction led Shen Song to expose the imperial decree, becoming a commoner agent of the emperor.
As the investigation deepens, Shen Song encounters a series of bizarre cases and forms deep friendships with characters like Li Qiner, Gongsun Li, and Zhan Mao'er. The truth behind the extermination of the Shen family gradually comes to light, but powerful enemies lurk in the shadows. Through their collective efforts, they ultimately unveil the conspiracy and usher in a bright future.- Keywords
