Lin Fan is the unluckiest rookie lawyer in all of Star City. His proudest moment was helping the neighborhood auntie win a lawsuit over her property fees. One day, he wakes up as a high-profile criminal embroiled in the secrets of a top financial conglomerate. He’s thrown into a special prison full of hardened criminals, while the outside world goes wild with rumors that he’s a genius criminal lawyer with an extraordinary IQ and a mastery of the law.
To save his own skin, he has no choice but to crank his fast-talking routine up to MAX. Using legal memes he picked up while surfing the web and some outrageously good acting, he bamboozles one big shot after another and accidentally becomes the prison’s top dog. Or so it seems.
Then the mysterious, glamorous star lawyer Su Man offers to defend him, on one condition: he has to marry her?! It turns out she’s an undercover investigator who needs a “lawyer spouse” to get close to the central secrets.
In court, they’re a perfectly matched legal power couple, constantly showing off their love. Outside court, he’s a drama king desperately trying to keep up his act, while she’s the “babysitter” quietly cleaning up his messes. As they fool everyone around them, their fake relationship turns real and their feelings grow, but they have no idea they’ve become caught up in an even bigger conspiracy...
This is a hilarious and thrilling romance about playing dumb to outwit your enemies, a good-for-nothing turning villainous, and a married couple working together to build their careers. “I only wanted to make enough to get by, but I ended up having to fake it till I became a legend?”
