Morning clouds scatter.

Ten years ago, the entire Shen family was wiped out in one night, leaving only the young Shen Song as the sole survivor. In order to seek justice and revenge, Shen Song studied day and night, and finally excelled in the imperial examination. He hoped that the emperor would investigate the old case regarding the Shen family, but instead, the emperor demoted him to the common people. Witnessing the darkness behind the highest power, Shen Song was completely disillusioned with the court and the officials, and became a chef in the common folk. The chef Shen Song became content with his current situation, seemingly having let go of his hatred. It was not until the fire at the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival that dozens of skeletons were unearthed, and the governor was paralyzed by officialdom and took no action, that Shen Song angrily revealed the imperial decree and became a wandering commoner for the emperor. As the investigation deepened, bizarre cases emerged one after another, and Shen Song formed deep friendships with Li Qiner, Gongsun Li, and Zhan Meow. The truth about the destruction of the Shen family gradually came to light, but powerful enemies lurked in the shadows. A tale intertwined with conspiracy, betrayal, and the secrets of home and country entangled them together. With their efforts, they finally cleared away the clouds and welcomed a bright future.
