Set in the Song dynasty, a notorious commander of the Capital Security Office, Gu Qianfan has been tasked by his superior, Commissioner Lei Jing, to retrieve a painting from the Jiangnan province which could potentially embarrass the royal family. The infamous Capital Security Office is an investigative branch which answers to no one but the man on the throne himself. While he’s nosing around in Qianting county, Gu Qianfan’s subordinate invites him to a popular teahouse where he witnesses the spunky proprietor and her pastry chef taking matters into their own hands when their place of business is held hostage by a band of misbehaving salt dealers on the run from local constables. Eventually, (and inevitably) the fight escalates into something more than two untrained women can handle, and so the visiting commander is forced to step in and put an end to the whole fracas. It doesn’t take long but the man is visibly smitten.
