Fresh off taking up his post as a ninth-rank county clerk in Qinghe County, Su Mo discovers his superiors colluding with local gentry to embezzle disaster relief grain. Having planned to lay low and keep out of trouble, he accidentally acquires the corruption ledger and is immediately targeted by his bosses who plot to silence him. With no political clout or backing, the low-ranking official refuses to back down. Leveraging his tiny official authority and winning support from ordinary townsfolk, he slowly dismantles the mutually protective corrupt network, carving out a clean path amid the tensions between the imperial court and local forces.
