At twenty-eight, cost engineer Lin Zhixia signed up for a professional qualification exam, only to have the System shatter her reality.
Someone else named “Lin Zhixia” had been living inside her ID number all along.
Ten years ago, her university admission letter was intercepted and her records switched. The college life she had earned through years of hard study was stolen by a stranger, and had been stolen for fourteen years.
Determined to reclaim what was hers, she embarked on a fight for justice, only to run into Shen Yan, the son of the man who had carried out the identity theft scheme. He was a lawyer.
Their interests were opposed and their pasts intertwined. They were the two people in the world who should never have joined forces, yet circumstances forced them onto the same side.
With her long-delayed professional qualification exam looming, the two followed the clues deeper and uncovered a shocking truth: this was no isolated case of identity theft.
A dark criminal network spanning fourteen years and involving twenty-three cases gradually came to light.
Impostors, corrupt officials, and middlemen formed layer upon layer of a web, behind which lurked a mastermind who had never once shown their face.
The youth stolen from her would not return on its own. The name she had lost, she would have to reclaim inch by inch with her own hands.
At the hearing and in the courtroom, Lin Zhixia spoke with ringing conviction, laying every dark secret bare in the light of day.
Her life was finally coming back to her.
