Chu Zhao insists he's innocent—he was helping an old woman find her grandson at the time, but the woman has vanished without a trace. To clear his name, he drops his prodigal act and starts investigating, only to uncover a conspiracy by the Prime Minister: using his "infamous reputation" to take down his father, the Protector General who controls half the kingdom's military power!

Meanwhile, Chu Zhao's "fake prodigal" identity slowly comes to light through their collaboration...
