When the gorgeous robe of a perfect marriage of fifteen years was lifted, lies and calculations were crawling underneath.
On her wedding anniversary, Lin Jing discovered that her husband Zhou Ming was quietly transferring their property to her first love. After fifteen years of marriage, she was his decent wife, capable partner, and docile vassal—until this moment when she decided to become her own lawyer.
This is not a story about revenge, but a tough battle about "reconstruction".
She found Qin Wei, a talented lawyer who had broken up in the past due to different ideas, and the two hung up a sign of "Jingwei Firm" in a simple office. What they face is not only the dilemma of Lin Jing's own property being eroded, but also many women like her who are in desperate situations in marriage, career or life:
A stay-at-home mother who was domestically abused but left the house, an intern who was sexually assaulted in the workplace but was stigmatized, a mother who has devoted everything to her family but is now helpless...
They gather here to serve as each other's armor and swords.
Lin Jing used her calmness and gaming wisdom accumulated over the years, while Qin Wei showed her sharp legal fangs. From fighting for a house and custody rights to fighting against systemic injustice, they tear open a transparent gap for their clients and themselves in every seemingly losing situation.
The night is at its darkest just before dawn. But there are always people who choose to light the lights with their own hands.
This is a story about how women, after losing everything, use professionalism, wisdom and each other's hands to regain the sovereignty of their lives inch by inch. It's brutal and real, warm and sharp. It takes place in the fictional "Jingwei Firm" and echoes in every long night that needs to break.
