On the day of her divorce, Shen Jinhe took a job sorting the belongings of the dead.
The deceased was Su Tang, the woman her ex-husband, Lu Mingyan, had treasured for years.
The Lu family rushed to cremate the body, while her ex-husband accused Shen Jinhe of driving Su Tang to her death. The whole internet called her a wicked wife.
But Su Tang had left a notarized will: her belongings could only be entrusted to Shen Jinhe.
Half of a broken jade pendant engraved with Su Tang's name, a windbreaker with its lining cut open, and a recording made as she lay dying pulled Shen Jinhe back into a twenty-seven-year-old cold case involving the Lu family.
Only then did she learn that she hadn't married into the Lu family to bring good luck, and Su Tang hadn't returned to the country to steal a man.
They were both pawns in the Lu family's secrets.
Everyone expected her to cry, but instead she put on her gloves and spoke for the dead.
Later, her ex-husband knelt before her, eyes red, begging her to take him back.
Shen Jinhe simply placed the evidence in front of him. “You should be kneeling to the people the Lu family killed, not me.”
She didn't look back. She joined the man who had always believed her and sent the Lu family to stand trial.
