В поисках старшего брата Ши Чэнь оказывается в храме Дали, где служат чиновники, связанные с судебно-исполнительной системой. Одна случайность сменяется другой, и вот уже Ши Чэнь прислуживает Бин Ли — высокопоставленному чиновнику в облике белого кота.

Chen Shi, a young man from the countryside, journeys to Luoyang in search of his missing older brother, whose existence he only knew about upon his mother’s death. He knows neither the name nor face of his brother, and after finally arriving at Luoyang, he runs out of money as well. One thing led to another, and he finds himself employed at Dali Court, where he works for Vice Minister Li Bing, a large white cat.

White Cat Legend is a historical show that tells the daily life of the Dali Court officials under Empress Wu Mingkong’s rule.
