Bai Suwen was an orphan girl selling medicine on the streets of Bianjing. She accidentally won a lawsuit for her neighbor and started on the path of becoming a litigant. In an era when women could not go to court, she disguised herself as a man and sued corrupt officials with a written petition. She specializes in taking cases that others dare not take - widows' disputes over property, craftsmen's salary demands, and abducted women's revenge cases. The common people called her "Bai Qingtian" and the powerful called her "witch".
