During the rule of the Beiyang Government, the warlord Wu Dazhuai's son Wu Qi (played by Wen Zhang) seeks to clear his family's shame and turns to Ma Zourì (played by Jiang Wen), a former official from the Qing Dynasty, for help. Afterward, Ma Zourì teams up with his childhood friend, the police chief in the French Concession, Xiang Feitian (played by Ge You), to organize a large-scale beauty pageant called the "Floral Domain Presidential Election," successfully crowning their long-time acquaintance, the current president Wan Yan Ying (played by Shu Qi). Just when things seem to be at their peak, fate takes a sharp turn towards the abyss. One ordinary morning, Wan Yan’s body is found in the countryside, and a panicked Ma Zourì seeks the help of Wu Qi's sister Wu Liu (played by Zhou Yun) and their mother, Teacher Qi (played by Hong Huang), hoping to clear his name as a murderer by getting help from the warlord. However, he inadvertently saves Xiang Feitian, who was nearly killed in the process. Burdened with the name of a murderer, Ma finds himself on a desperate run, while Wu Liu turns the incident into a movie titled "The Execution of Ma Zourì," further complicating Ma's fate... This film is adapted from the unusual case of "Yan Ruisheng."
