Synopsis and Plot Summary
Season 1
It tells the story of police academy student Yu Zui who due to a special selection process was forced to enter society as an undercover.
Xu Pingqiu (Chang Rong) is a legend in the police force who has been entrusted with the task of selecting “elites” among the cadets at the academy. Yu Zui (Zhang Yishan) and a few others who participated passed the initial round. In the second round, they were tasked to survive in the city without their identification cards for 40 days. Yu Zui, however, overcomes the challenge, finding An Jialu (Sun Jiayu) using his deduction skills and finding the rest of their comrades through Lin Yujing (Wu You). Shu Biao (Wang Ge) goes missing in the commotion and Yu Zui accidentally 'kills' his kidnapper. Yu Zui is thrown in jail only to realize that everything that's happened is part of a bigger plot.
Yu Zui successfully becomes the confidant of his fellow inmate Fu Guosheng (Zhang Jincheng) who later introduces him to Zheng Chao (Du Ziming). Zheng Chao uses Yu Zui to transport illegal drugs, yet along the way, Yu Zui tries to veer from the plan and gets shot. Zheng Chao is uneasy knowing that Yu Zui is still alive while Yu Zui wants to take advantage of the unrest between Fu Guosheng and Zheng Chao to eliminate the latter.
