The synopsis of the drama on Netflix reads:

"In this crime thriller, Detective Chen Chia-jen races to unmask Baba the Witch, the viral tarot reader who accurately predicts the deaths of influencers."

The drama is safe to watch for viewers above the age of sixteen because of its mature themes. The story also reportedly includes violence, strong language, self-harm, gore content, and the use of tobacco, which makes it not suitable for young children to watch.

The story of Million-Follower Detective follows Chen Chia-jen and Baba the Witch, who is famous for her tarot readings that actually come true. Baba the Witch also wears the masks during her livestreams, which makes hunting her down more difficult because of her hidden identity.

Chia-jen, an investigator, will make it his mission to expose Baba the Witch and how she is able to tell how the influencer is going to die. The plot moves forward after Chen Chia-jen gets shot while chasing a famous internet celebrity, only to realize he is under someone's orders.

In the trailer of the drama, Baba the Witch is seen wearing the mask and talking to her followers about her last prediction of a person getting stabbed, which actually came true. Because of her popularity, female detective Li Hsin takes an interest in the case and decides to investigate, discovering that it involves a serial killer targeting only influencers.

The police, along with Chen Chia-jen, investigate the cases and find her location along with a confidential file. At one point, they also team up with internet star Lin Tingyou to find the actual truth and solve this mystery.

Speaking of the drama, director Su Sanmao told Tudum:

"I can't wait to see 'Millionaire's Deduction' finally go online. I hope it can meet everyone as soon as possible. The series will cover issues of the internet age, as well as timeless classic detective stories."

Speaking of the insider observations, Producer Zhang Yating added:

"The influence of short videos is really huge now. We have also incorporated the feelings, pressures, and struggles of online creators into the plot of 'Millionaire's Deduction,' hoping that each episode will not only focus on the crime case but also resonate with the audience while watching the series."
