Synopsis

The petty constable Xue Buyi (Fengchao Liu) has endured a decade of humiliation during years of service. Witnessing his fellow apprentice Li Zhen (Fufu Yuan) reduced to a pawn of power, and manipulated by his trusted mentor Huang Shining (Chunyu Shanshan), Xue finds himself trapped. The path to wealth, power, and fame is paved with the blood of countless innocent people from the lower strata. This dark, predatory officialdom tolerates no place for justice and kindness. Ultimately, Xue Buyi, driven by his fervent passion & benevolent heart, resolves to cleave through this overbearing hand of power that obscures the sky.
