Meanwhile, the brilliant Lu Li, a model student who graduated top of his police academy class, rapidly climbs the ranks. His exceptional talent for cracking tough cases earns him a promotion to chief of police within just a few years, realizing his lifelong dream.

Four years into their respective journeys, fate intervenes, forcing Chi Zhen and Lu Li to cross paths.
