Tao Mo is a playful guy with a good family background. He buys a county magistrate position in Tanyang, a well-known place for barristers because both of the top barristers, Lin Zheng Yong and Yi Chui live there. Tao Mo is illiterate and uneducated, but he is truly repentant and hopes to become a dedicated magistrate for the sake of his father who already passed away. Not long after he took up the official post, he met Gu She, a student of the top barrister, Yi Chui, and has some feelings for him. Gu She is narcissistic and indulges in self-admiration, however Tao Mo's honesty in judging and handling cases in his own way has caught Gu She's attention towards Tao Mo. It looks like just an ordinary story of how determined Tao Mo is to become a good magistrate for his father, but there are many mysteries that lie behind. ~~ Adapted from the web novel "Shi Ru Bu Shi Ding" (识汝不识丁) by Su You Bing (酥油饼).
