Synopsis:
Li Gexiao is a warrior and has intelligence matching his skills. He was previously a high ranking marshal with great law enforcement authority. However, after his enemy framed him with a crime he did not commit and executed his family, the former marshal was forced to become a fugitive. Years later, he came out of hiding to help a former colleague recover a cargo of stolen gold for disaster relief. He and three chivalrous strangers, thief Yan Sanniang, grifter He Xiaomei, and strongman Chai Hu, unite to form a heroic band of masked vigilantes called "Yi Zhi Mei", who rob the rich and corrupt to help the poor and helpless, always leaving a plum flower at the scene as their calling card. In the jianghu, they are also known to fight injustice, corruption and oppression by the government.

Comments:
This drama isn't as romance heavy as the rest, but it's a pretty good drama to watch. The cases are pretty interesting, and the way the lead characters figure out how to finish the mission is awesome (well most of it is because of the main lead's smarts). I feel like this drama is so underrated though, so give it some love and give it a chance!
