Once upon a time, they were evenly matched opponents in law school, and they were also each other's unspoken first love.
The second half of the sentence can be caught with one look on the debate stage, which belongs to the tacit understanding between Jiang Shiyu and Lu Huaichuan.
But this tacit understanding ended with his sudden marriage news in the year of graduation. She walked away with her undeclared love and huge disappointment, and became a calm and sharp divorce lawyer in a top law firm. She personally unraveled broken relationships, but she could never untie the knot in her heart.
Three years later, a new member of the law firm landed, and it turned out to be Lu Huaichuan, his "ex-husband."
He is the stranger she is most familiar with, the "best debate partner" etched in her body's memory, and the "open old case" that is dusty in her emotional files.
Forced to become partners, they face the bizarre marriage battlefield together: from celebrity rivalry to wealthy families competing for property, from cold violence and imprisonment to the tragedy of same-sex wives... They are the comrades who best understand each other's swords, but they are also the "exes" who have endured three years of silence and huge misunderstandings.
Until one day, a complex case involving old grudges revealed the truth of that year——
It turns out that the marriage he submitted to was a cruel deal made to protect her future.
It turns out that he never abandoned her, but chose the most silent protection.
