24 hours left until the Chang'an bombing! A new sensation of suspense x action x historical drama depicted with a furious pace!

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xiaojing (Lei Jiayin) had achieved distinction as a soldier protecting the provinces and became a 'Buliangshuai' (chief of police) who apprehended criminals in Chang'an. However, he was imprisoned as a death row inmate, accused of a certain murder case. One day, Li Bi (Jackson Yee), the head of Jing'an Si, responsible for Chang'an's security, obtains information that a terrorist group called "Wolf Guard" has infiltrated the city. Li Bi, who has experience guarding Chang'an and is well-versed in the city's people and geography, sets his sights on Zhang Xiaojing. On the condition of exoneration if he succeeds, Li Bi appoints Zhang Xiaojing as a special investigator. Zhang Xiaojing eventually discovers that the Wolf Guard plans a bombing terrorist attack in Chang'an during the Shangyuan Festival (15th day of the first lunar month), when many people gather and the city is bustling. However, a deeper conspiracy was swirling behind it... With people bustling during the Shangyuan Festival, only 24 hours remain until the bombing. Can he catch the culprits and save the lives of the people of Chang'an before the deadline?
