Before the divorce, Wen Zhixia was Xu Yanci's star lawyer. She cleared every legal gray area for him, bending the rules to pave his way.
After the divorce, she became his greatest opponent, using the very tactics he had taught her and wielding the law like a blade to drive him into a corner time and again.
Xu Yanci panicked. He set aside his arrogance and humbly pursued her, begging to make peace. “Zhixia, let's talk.”
Wen Zhixia ran her fingertips over the legal text, her gaze cool and her smile hiding a knife. “Talk? We'll do this by the book. Consultation fees are eight thousand an hour. Pay first, then we talk.”
He was willing to give her everything, just to have her come back. What he didn't know was that this tug-of-war in the name of rules had been hiding their still-burning heartbeats from the very beginning.
“Mr. Xu, don't cross the line. Not even in the name of the law.”
“But I insist on loving you, within the rules.”
