Hong Shen is a criminal wanted for murder and theft in two different countries. But when retribution finally comes for him, it isn't by the authorities; it comes in the form of a knife to the back, held by his partner in crime.
As he lay bleeding beneath a dead plum tree, the notorious killer submits to death. Instead, he is given two choices - die, or have a second chance.
To take the second chance would mean he must complete a trial in the past in order to return to the present. But what he doesn't know is that the trial isn't only difficult for him, it's even more difficult for the person he must transmigrate into to fulfill it.
