Synopsis

In the late 1990s, an unidentified female corpse is discovered in the mining district of the small town of Fengyang. As clues to both a decades-old mystery and a new case gradually surface, the quiet town begins to stir beneath its calm facade. Complex family relationships, father-son conflicts, the emotional tug between duty and affection, and the collision of law and humanity all create powerful undercurrents in this once-peaceful place.

All the stories in Fengyang take place within an "eight-hundred-meter radius." For decades, everyone has followed the script of their roles—where the glittering excesses of nightlife and the serene rhythms of daily life have coexisted in a strange harmony. Veteran police officer Chen Hongbing’s family is no exception. However, the painful memories he has buried deep inside still pierce his soft heart from time to time. His son Chen Hui’s girlfriend, Gao Songge, becomes an emotional vessel for the middle-aged man's unresolved past, while his wife Ding Yue struggles to hold the family together, torn between love and resentment.

Years later, a gruesome case involving a burned body reawakens long-suppressed memories. What changes will erupt in the Chen family, who had seemingly settled into the peace of midlife? As a father and a policeman, how will Chen Hongbing balance justice and conscience in a society built on personal relationships? When a pair of lovers once bound by unbreakable affection fall into a pit of crime, how will the seemingly close father and son engage in a battle of black and white?

As the truth edges closer, the lines between good and evil in human nature blur and intertwine, leading to an inevitable showdown between darkness and justice. Caught between the bonds of love and family, a high-stakes game of human nature is about to unfold in the town of Truman.
