Corporate lawyer Lin Wei suddenly dies at her desk after working overtime. When she opens her eyes, she has become Gu Ye Han, the obsessive CEO from a domineering CEO romance. Worse, the original Gu Ye Han is in the middle of kidnapping the heroine to inject her with a "compliance drug." Lin Wei flips the table on the spot: "Unlawful detention and intentional injury. That's enough for ten years in prison! Let her go, pay compensation, and apologize!"
As Gu Ye Han, Lin Wei brings thirty years of worldly experience and a lawyer's instincts to become a rebel in this melodramatic world. She tears up the unfair contract the original Gu Ye Han imposed and hands the runaway heroine a copy of the Contract Law. When a kidnapping takes place, she doesn't play the hero: she calls the police and brings in a professional negotiator. She avoids dirty tricks in the family power struggle, instead using Company Law to publicly bring down those trying to seize control. Even a C-list actress who shows up claiming she's pregnant is sent running with a curt, "DNA test and a defamation suit."
She gets the assistant, who's used to the logic of domineering CEOs, to memorize Criminal Law statutes. She teaches the original heroine how to protect her entrepreneurial dreams with compliant contracts, and even helps the CEO's "moonlight" tear up her family's controlling agreement. While the whole world pressures her to follow the script and force a romance, Lin Wei insists on plastering the CEO's office with slogans about obeying the law. "Domineering? I'd rather follow the law."
In this battle of reason against the pull of melodrama, she must not only protect the Gu Group, but also make every supporting character understand that their life shouldn't be dictated by a script. And inside the shell of a CEO who was meant to be obsessive and mad, a soul is growing that likes to say, "If there's a problem, call Legal," and follows the rules better than anyone.
