Gu Weilan, a modern criminal defense lawyer, suddenly traveled to the fictional dynasty "Zhao Dynasty" during a thrilling closing statement of the court trial.
When he woke up, he was in jail, but he relied on a set of modern legal logic to refute the county magistrate in court and escaped unscathed.
In the Zhao Dynasty at that time, the law was incomplete and injustices were everywhere. The powerful paid their lives for money, and the people had no way to appeal. Gu Weilan rented a dilapidated house in the south of the city and listed it as "Gu's Legal Admonition Hall" - she wanted to plant a seed of "law" with her own hands in this era without procedural justice.
From overturning the case for a mute blacksmith, to fighting against local gentry, royal undercurrents, and conservative dignitaries, she step by step went from private litigant to court, becoming the first female minister of Dali Temple in the history of the Zhao Dynasty. She promoted the promulgation of the "Xin Zhao Law", established a lawyer system, and founded a law school, so that "the law protects the weak" is no longer just an empty talk.
Walking side by side with her was Pei Yan, the Minister of Justice - the man who argued with her in court for the first time they met and spent his whole life protecting her.
This is the story of a modern female lawyer who uses knowledge and courage to rewrite the history of ancient justice. It is also a love story that spans the ages and uses the law as a mediator.
The court is her battlefield, the law is her sword, and the weak in the world are all her clients.
