Who's who
- Li Si (Luo Yunxi): a rich, theatrical young man with a talent for traps, mechanisms and illusions. He fights with a measuring rod, the liangtian chi (量天尺), and has a heart condition he keeps quiet. He joins the bureau as a trainee for reasons of his own.
- Meng Rui (Fang Yilun): the Ghost Constable, a swordsman of few words trained by a famous wandering fighter. He distrusts Li Si at first and is framed for murder in the second case.
- Bai Zhenzhu (Shen Yujie): the Frost Constable, a skilled coroner whose examinations of the bodies solve many of the cases. Her father is a senior minister.
- Xuanyuan Shan (He Hongshan): the bureau's commander, who reports directly to the emperor and decides how far to trust Li Si.
- Lou Tianming (Ma Wenyuan): the Hawk Constable, who is quick to suspect his colleagues and leads the case against Meng Rui when he is framed.
- Zhou Zhu (Xu Zhengxi): the Prince of Ping, who commands the Nilü camp (逆旅营) and becomes Li Si's ally among the princes.
Identity Reveals
Ending spoilerShow identity reveals
The drama has several. Li Si's real identity as the lost fourth prince comes out in the first episode, though he keeps it from the court until late in the story. Meng Rui is also living under another name, with a family history tied to the prince's disappearance. The bureau has a traitor inside it, Li Si's master has been hiding his loyalties, and the leader of Liluo is someone in the palace. Chinese episode summaries reveal these one by one across the second half.
