Seven days before the wedding, the bride-to-be approached marriage lawyer Cheng Jianwei and asked for a prenuptial agreement.
"He never lied to me," she said with a smile.
Cheng Jianwei heard a harsh echo.
After the car accident, she acquired a special ability - whenever someone lies in an intimate relationship, she can hear the lie but cannot know the truth.
Three days later, a strange woman broke into the wedding holding an urn and accused the groom of killing her sister. Everyone was suspicious of the groom, but Cheng Jianwei discovered that the bride-to-be also had secrets.
A prenuptial agreement led to a carefully designed marriage scam.
From then on, every marriage case that Cheng Jianwei took over hid a more dangerous truth: a husband who bought a huge insurance policy for his wife, a full-time wife who disappeared for seven years but left behind three divorce applications, a model couple who loved each other in front of the camera but waited for the other to die in private...
In order to prove those lies, Cheng Jianwei had to cooperate with forensic accountant Zhou Xun. She believed in people's words, while he only believed in the flow of money.
As the investigation deepens, all the cases gradually point to a women's legal aid agency eighteen years ago, as well as Cheng Jianwei's mother's fall from a building, which was deemed a suicide.
What made her even more uneasy was that Zhou Xun was clearly hiding a secret, but she never heard an echo in his voice.
Did he not lie to her, or was her ability ineffective on him?
