In the autumn of 2013, the morning light on the Bund in Shanghai filtered through the old blinds, cutting out a mixture of light and dark on the mottled wooden floor. Su Bai woke up on a cold desk, and the tingling sensation in his cervical spine made him wake up instantly - this was not the ergonomic Italian custom-made bed he remembered.
"Are you spending the night at the law firm again?" He rubbed his temples with a wry smile and looked around the office, which was less than fifteen square meters. The walls were yellowed due to moisture, and there were half-man-high piles of files in the corner. The air was filled with the smell of moldy paper mixed with cheap coffee.
This was not the partner office of a top law firm in Lujiazui that he was familiar with. As a gold medal lawyer who once had a winning rate of 99.9%, Su Bai clearly remembered the last moment of his life: the out-of-control truck crashed through the guardrail, and the loud sound of twisted metal still seemed to echo in his ears. At this moment, he is living in a parallel world in Shanghai called "Blue Star" and has become a down-and-out lawyer also named Su Bai.
"Rebirth is rebirth, why don't you choose a better script?" Su Bai helplessly opened the calendar on the table - October 17, 2013. In this world, he is still a "rookie" who has been practicing law for three years but has almost never won a lawsuit. He is running a private law firm that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
