The legal world of Linzhou is deeply divided. Construction boss Zhao Hongkuo has a complete set of forged evidence and hires undefeated lawyer Gu Zheng for three times the going rate. Gu Zheng sees at a glance that the evidence is fake. The enormous fee could fund multiple public-interest cases, but the price is helping a villain escape justice. Meanwhile, Wen Zhiyu, from a small law firm, takes on a collective wage claim for migrant workers. She does everything she can to gather firsthand evidence, but must face Gu Zheng, an opponent at the very top of the profession. In court, Wen Zhiyu uses a secret recording to expose the perjury, awakening Gu Zheng's conscience. He voluntarily abandons his central defense, shattering his undefeated reputation. After the case ends, Wen Zhiyu is maliciously framed by her colleague Li Man and faces losing her license to practice law. Gu Zheng draws on his expertise and connections to clear her name and offers her a partnership. The main story takes shape: the two join forces to establish Zhizheng Law Firm and formally begin fighting for the rights of ordinary people at the bottom of society.
