Shanghai, 1927. A resourceful young police officer named Qiao Chu Sheng is on the trail of a brutal but devious killer. Realizing that the police force will need some extra help with this difficult case, he decides to form an elite crime-busting detective team. He reaches out to a young man who has recently returned from studying in Great Britain, Lu Yao. Qiao Chu Sheng has learned that Lu Yao has remarkable powers of deduction and a brilliant mind – and believes he can help crack this difficult case. To round off the team, he enlists the help of Bai You Ning, a focused young female reporter for a daily newspaper. A free-thinking, independent young woman, she has a strong sense of justice – and pledges to help catch the killer. The trio form a small detective squad that specializes in solving strange and unsettling murder mysteries.

"This is one of the top 5 Chinese dramas I have watched. The plot of each episode is extremely interesting and there is a main plot that carries through the entire show. All of the characters are well played (second male lead was actually my favorite character), and the romance between the mains is slow-burning but not cliche. Aesthetics of the show are great, especially the wardrobe. It was actually difficult for me to find another Chinese show to watch after this one because it was just that good. Downfalls? A lot of the explanations he gives for cases had yet to be discovered in the 1930s (i.e. the modern understanding of the mitochondria wasn’t understood until the 1960s), but I only caught those things because I am a scientist—it doesn’t impact the intrigue of the show. Another problem was the end…. It left a lot to be desired. They could have completed the male lead’s character arc in a much better way, but it doesn’t detract from the rest of the show! Highly recommend!!!"
