share time: 2026-01-07 00:35:56

Su Wantang, a modern legal intern, travels back in time to become the mockingly called "muddle-headed magistrate". On her first day, she encounters a "baffling case"—the county tycoon’s heirloom jade ruyi is stolen, and the suspect is a fragile flower girl. She seems to investigate recklessly, but actually uses modern criminal investigation methods to dig for clues, only to be constantly opposed by the cold-faced师爷 Gu Zhao. As the case progresses, Gu Zhao discovers that her "pretended muddleness" is to expose the nobleman’s plot of seizing farmland for the people; Su Wantang also realizes that this "cold师爷" has been silently protecting her from official intrigues. From bickering to working together, they uncover conspiracies while sweetly interacting. However, the deeper they dig, the more they find that this "baffling case" is connected to a bigger official mystery...
