The Star Mediator: After Her Divorce, She Became the City's Richest Woman

Shen Banxia, a top mediator. She wields the law as a shield and stands up for the vulnerable. Five years ago, her mother died unjustly, and her report disappeared without a trace. Five years later, she starts out in a shabby consulting room, taking on the divorce cases women are afraid to bring to court: domestic violence, custody battles, sexual harassment, and wealthy-family inheritance disputes. With every case, she forges another shield for the city. But every lead points to the same name: Guan Zhongyue. The man who made her mother disappear and buried the truth for twenty-five years is the deepest shadow hanging over the city. As Banxia's shield grows larger, evidence from the old case gradually comes to light. Those in power begin to strike back, and traps close in on every side. Meanwhile, Lu Yanci, who has always stood behind her, is hiding secrets far deeper than she imagined. She uses the law to take on powerful families and evidence to bring down the powerful, building herself up from a starting capital of fifty thousand to become the city's richest person. Only at the end does she understand: the real shield isn't money. It's every person she has helped who turns around to help her. Revenge and protection, the weak and the powerful: how one woman uses the law to rewrite her own fate.
