"It is never the conspiracy that tears apart the truth, but the irises at the end of her eyes when she smiles with tears in her eyes"**
The first commission that returned overseas lawyer Su Qingyu received when she returned to China was to handle a cross-border merger and acquisition case for Cai Zeran, a business upstart.
The fleur-de-lis brooch on the man's suit hid a secret, and the finger holding the contract was wrapped around her favorite orange candy wrapper from high school.
When she discovered that the other party's computer contained her medical records from twelve years ago, the most dangerous client became her savior.
**"I spent twelve years turning myself into a monster just to catch you when you fell into the abyss"**
Cai Zeran regrets two things most in his life:
First, he let go of Zhao Suhe's hand under the wisteria trellis when he was seventeen, and second, he didn't recognize her with a changed name when they reunited at twenty-seven.
He personally planned encounters, created crises, and even acted as a villain, just to direct all the poisonous arrows in the dark towards himself. It wasn't until after the car accident that the amnesiac girl held a blood-stained USB drive against his throat: "Mr. Cai, will you cooperate?"

When the chip in the ruby necklace reveals a dusty old case in the city hall, and when the password in the medical archives corresponds to the Morse code agreed upon in childhood, two souls torn apart by fate embrace each other for warmth in the maze of intrigue.
On his back is the fleur-de-lis that she designed when she was sixteen, and the birthmark on her collarbone is the thorn bird he traced with his own hands.
During the final court hearing on a rainy night in Shanghai, Su Qingyu, who was in the plaintiff's seat, took off her headset and raised her wedding ring to the live broadcast cameras on the Internet: "As a defense lawyer, I apply to marry the defendant Cai Zeran in court."
