A Sweet Kiss Beneath the Gavel: A Lawyer’s Romantic Defense

Seven years ago, lawyer Yi Wenbin pushed photographer Liu Yan away with his own hands to protect his family's reputation. Seven years later, she returns with her camera focused on intangible cultural heritage, only to get caught up in a battle between wealthy families. To the world, he's a cold, brilliant legal star. In secret, he keeps every ticket from her photography exhibitions. She pretends to be indifferent as she photographs his courtroom arguments, yet develops each picture as a portrait of the two of them. When Gu Mingyuan tries to force her hand with a marriage alliance, Yi Wenbin pulls off his tie. “Liu Yan, my marriage law recognizes just one thing: a marriage certificate with your name on it is valid forever.” From rescuing photographs from a fire to proposing in court, from a fake marriage agreement to a real marriage certificate, Yi Wenbin writes love letters in legal clauses as he fights to win her back, while Liu Yan captures his sincerity through her lens. When intangible cultural heritage tea ceremony meets legal drama, and seven years of longing become a chain of roses, they finally understand: the perfect defense is each other's name.
