During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Yan Liben happened to encounter the case where Di Renjie (played by Ren Jialun) was wrongly imprisoned. After helping him save himself, he discovered that Di Renjie was a genius at solving cases. It happened that the emperor had sent him to the Ganye Temple to investigate a case, so he decided to take Di Renjie along. At Gan Ye Temple, Di Renjie solved a strange case, defused a major Buddhist disaster, and formed a connection with Wu Meiniang. Di Renjie made a stunning debut and was sent by the emperor to Bingzhou. During this period, he solved many strange cases and was hailed as a "divine judge". From time to time, there were incidents of ghost soldiers from the previous dynasty killing people. Di Renjie went to check and found that it was related to the treasures of the previous dynasty and Prince Pu Li Tai's intention to rebel. However, the evidence was destroyed and he could not continue. At this time, the incident occurred where Wu Meiniang killed her own daughter and framed Empress Wang. The emperor summoned Di Renjie back to Chang 'an to investigate. Based on the clues provided by Wu Meiniang, Di Renjie cracked the case and found the treasure of the previous dynasty at Li Tai's residence, which became solid evidence of Prince Pu's rebellion. Di Renjie also knew that whenever he encountered a bottleneck in solving the case before, the person who would solve his doubts was actually Wu Meiniang. He felt that Wu Meiniang was unfathomable and her ambition was beyond his imagination. Sure enough, not long after, Emperor Gaozong of Tang fell ill with a wind disease and sent Wu Meiniang to court together, collectively known as the "Two Sages Attending Court".[Collapse]
