Quando viene riferito che una compagnia d'opera della città di Dayong è stata inghiottita da un misterioso spettro alle porte della città, il sovrano regnante ordina immediatamente al signore della città di Dayong di indagare. Avendo a disposizione solo tre giorni per risolvere il mistero, il signore della città di Dayong chiede l'aiuto di Su Cheng Xi, il miglior investigatore della città, e di Sui Han Bai, un agente locale in possesso di alcune abilità molto utili. Nonostante Cheng Xi e Han Bai abbiano poca scelta quando si tratta di lavorare insieme, i due faticano ad andare d'accordo. Non riuscendo a fidarsi completamente l'uno dell'altro, fanno del loro meglio, ma quando si trovano intrappolati in una misteriosa villa con Zuo Han Qin, un'assassina addestrata che sostiene di essere la figlia del signore della città, e una mappa apparsa dal nulla, i due riescono a mettere da parte le loro differenze per concentrarsi su quello che sta rapidamente diventando un caso insolito. Identificata come la Mappa Shi Wei, la misteriosa mappa mostra l'ubicazione di un immenso tesoro, ma con la sua comparsa iniziano ad accadere cose strane. Con il vicino fiume Shangtang improvvisamente pieno di ossa e una compagnia d'opera ancora scomparsa, Cheng Xi, Han Bai e Han Qin iniziano una ricerca disperata per trovare il collegamento tra questi eventi e la mappa. Riusciranno a trovare gli indizi necessari per riportare la pace nella loro città prima che sia troppo tardi? Tratto dal romanzo "Jianghu Juvenile Art" di Zi Mo Jian.

Recensioni
This is very good if you are looking for something short.
In my opinion, the subtitles were not for me, but since the plot was interesting, I found it worth watching. My opinion is that the acting skills were exceptional and it also reminded me of "Word of Honor" and "The Untamed" because of the plot and the characters. It has a similar feel to how a murder mystery is portrayed, with little fighting sense. Ultimately, it reminds me of what you would expect from a crime show. If you have time I will consider watching. Due to the subtitle, not many would watch this, but if you don't mind missing words or some misunderstandings, then you'll enjoy it.Pledge of Allegiance vibes, but straightforward and no betrayals
(Note: I didn't use English subtitles for this short drama, as I understand Mandarin.)A wonderful little short drama to watch while eating or just on little breaks, or as a treat before bed.
The acting from the two male leads was surprisingly good, and really carried the whole show for me. It doesn't hurt that they're both very pretty to look at, which is always a plus - good acting and good to look at. I hadn't heard of either of them before or seen them in any other shows previously, but they're both actors I'll be on the lookout for or will click on a drama for just to check out if I see them in anything else. Simon Chen (Su Cheng Xi) stood out a little more for me acting-wise, and also seemed a little more natural besides, although this could also be chalked up to his character's more carefree personality than Li Pei Yang's character Sui Han Bai, who is a bit of an ice-cold face. Swen Xuan's Zhao Yin was also pretty good, as was Yin Rui's Zuo Han Qin. Zhou Wei's Yue Xiao Qiao was perhaps the stiffest among the cast, but overall, the acting was very good.
Story was pretty good considering the length of the episodes and overall, nothing to write home about but also nothing to sneeze at, and didn't feel dialed-in. The twist of who the masked man was at the end genuinely surprised me, although I'm not sure if that says more about me than it does the show... Nevertheless, despite its short length, it didn't feel rushed nor like it ended prematurely, although it was definitely streamlined and left out the finer details, that would likely have been more fleshed out in a longer format. The length also left no room for filler, which I appreciated; and the story always picks up where the last episode left off and gets right to the point. My only gripe was Miss Zuo's character seemed unfortunately left hanging somewhat and was never quite completely fleshed out as a character in her own right.
There wasn't much music to speak of, but the ending song felt very appropriate to the brotherhood and loyalty/action vibe of the show.
Finally, I'd say this is pretty rewatchable, as it's both short and again, no major flaws to be found at all, at least in my book. Whether it's for looking at pretty people solving crimes (kind of) and doing things or just to watch the relationship between the two male leads, I'd be happy to watch this again or have it on in the background while doing something else.
Overall, I really enjoyed this, so gave it an 8 - MDL suggested an 8.5 based on the overall subscores I suppose, so on account of how much I liked it and how easy it is to watch, upgraded per its recommendation.
