Scores of men want to marry her, aware that marrying into her family is akin to receiving a golden ticket.

But marrying Shen Miao isn’t straightforward: She has already failed to marry twice, with her suitors running off before the big day. Regardless, two eligible bachelors have emerged. The first is the serious-minded and somewhat frail scholar Pei Yan Zhen (Xing Zhao Lin).

Both men must try to outdo one another in a bid to win Shen Miao’s heart. As she attempts to finally tie the knot, who will she choose?

Expect the Unexpected

Shang Jie (Gao Ren) is a captain in the serious crimes division of the police force. One day, his commanding officer tells him that his unit must work alongside a forensics team led by the expert Xia Ying (Zhang Ling Xin). This, the officer says, is due to staff shortages – and also so the teams can learn from each others’ “strengths.” Their first task is to solve a puzzling case that begins with the discovery of a car found submerged in the middle of a frozen river in a countryside valley. When the police lift the car out of the river, they discover the body of a young woman inside the vehicle.

The mystery deepens when the duo begins to investigate – and discover a number of items that may not belong to the young woman. Was somebody else involved in the incident? Could there have been a second victim? Could a murderer have caused the young woman’s death? The two units work together in a bid to discover the truth. And while working together proves to be a difficult task for these two very different sets of investigators, they inch closer to the truth. But solving this crime will only be the start for the officers – a score of other perplexing mysteries await. And only Shang Jie and Xia Ying have what it takes to solve them all!
