Plot
Rookie policeman Tai Lin yearned to be an artist before he failed an examination and followed in his father's footsteps. One day he interrupts an apparent suicide attempt by a woman standing on the edge of a bridge. He detains her when she claims to have murdered her husband, despite her protests that it's all a joke. It turns out that Liu Yun is a performance artist, but Tai Lin is not amused and is glad to be rid of her when she is released.
She pursues him just a little, though, and he is surprised to find himself becoming attracted to her after they spend some time together. He is drawn to her artistic side, and she is drawn to him because he is a policeman, he thinks. This thought is reinforced when she asks him to find a man named Ma Baijul. She won't tell Tai Lin why she wants to find him, but when he mentions the name to his superior, Tai Lin discovers that Ma Baijul was responsible for the death of a police officer 20 years in the past. It's a case that was never solved by Tai Lin's father and continues to haunt him in his retirement; Tai Lin's mother is simply irritated.
Reluctantly Tai Lin pursues the case, while trying to protect Liu Yun from the truth. Gradually, a connection between Tai Lin, Liu Yun, Liu Yun's mother (confined to a hospital after an accident sent her over the edge mentally), and Ma Baijul is revealed, and threatens to tear apart the relationship developing between Tai Lin and Liu Yun.
