New lawyer Su Yue dreams of using the law to protect justice. With one step, she walks through the doors of Hengsheng, Haidu City’s top law firm. But while her ideals are lofty, reality is harsh: instead of making waves in court, she finds herself mired in a chaotic “workplace level.” At the same time, she unexpectedly gets paired with Jiang Chengyao, the firm’s star lawyer, a supremely rational “iceberg” partner. He’s supposedly her “workplace backup,” but in practice, he’s a master at passing the buck. He always adds a cutting remark when she makes a fool of herself, then “casually” points her in the right direction when she’s on the verge of despair.
And so, the earnest, quirky rookie lawyer and the brilliant, enigmatic legal star go from mutual antagonists to comrades who undermine each other one moment and have each other’s backs the next, as they navigate a high-pressure workplace and one bizarre case after another. In the end, they not only uncover the truth behind a wealthy family’s feuds, but also find faith in their work and the meaning of love amid cold legal statutes and complicated human nature.
