After he cures the Empress Dowager (played by Yan Minqiu) of her long-standing chest pain, the Empress Dowager and Qianlong highly appreciate him and have him impersonate the emperor on a Southern inspection tour. Due to the constant undermining of loyal officials and the insane profit-seeking of He Shen (played by Wang Gang), who accompanies the tour, Hong Li begins to stand against him in the name of the emperor. Suddenly, a pamphlet listing ten crimes of Qianlong infuriates the emperor, prompting him to order a thorough investigation. He unexpectedly befriends the craftsman Li Butao, who printed the pamphlet, and they become good friends. When Hong Li inadvertently discovers the mystery of He Shen's adopted daughter, Dragonfly (played by Jia Jingwen), he develops a rivalry with He Shen.

The true and false emperors alternately perform and solve extraordinary cases...
