Xu Jiaxing, a young lawyer who has just entered the workplace, joins a famous law firm with his ideals, and works with prosecutor Lin Ran, legal aid lawyer Fang Rui, partner Gong Che and other partners in the high-pressure and fast-moving urban legal circle. The six people first became acquainted because of a bizarre case, and then got caught up in the storms of family feuds, corporate shady cases, and criminal cases. Their beliefs, friendship and love, morals, and interests were strongly torn apart. As the truth is revealed layer by layer, they have to make constant choices in the gray area of ethics and law, becoming entangled with each other and running counter to each other. With multiple story lines intertwined, everyone experiences the disillusionment and reshaping of ideals, friendship and betrayal, and the temptation and sacrifice of love. In the end, in a major legitimate defense case that shocked the industry, everyone had to face their inner desires, fears, and consciences to complete self-salvation—either standing under the light of the law, or choosing to move forward with a burden on their backs. The book has a tight pace, combines humor with heavy reflection on humanity, and finally ends with strong emotions and a perfect ending.
