On the eve of Lin Zhao's return to court, the settlement letter in his hand was severely torn into pieces. Five years ago, he compromised for his own interests, which indirectly led to the tragic death of a witness and marred justice; now, he is determined to single-handedly overturn the judicial shady system controlled by AI. As a top criminal defense lawyer, he knows that trials in this city have long been secretly controlled by the "Jinghong-α" system. Memory can be tampered with, evidence can be forged, and even human lives can be easily erased.
Prosecutor Shen Zhiyao showed up with Xuehai Shenzhao. Her sister died unexpectedly, and her family suffered "accidents" one after another. She seemed cold, but she was actually a night watchman lurking in the darkness. The two went from testing each other to fighting side by side. In the court, they started a deadly battle with the forces that were coerced by capital.
What they have to fight against is not only corrupt judges and cold-blooded conglomerates, but also a cold system that regards human lives as data. When the shackles of memory were broken, and when the buried truth came to light, Lin Zhao finally understood that what he wanted to protect was not just a lawsuit, but also the conscience and humanity swallowed by darkness. In the end, he used himself as a blade to tear open the haze shrouding the city, allowing the delayed justice to finally penetrate the haze and illuminate every forgotten corner.
