On the day when Pei Zhiyuan was in high school, Jiang Mingzhao thought that three years of hard work had finally come to fruition. Seven days later, her mother-in-law died mysteriously, but her husband took out a written confession and personally took her to court.
The poison was hidden in her box, and the maid identified it with her own words. All the evidence was forcing her to confess to the death penalty.
But Pei Zhiyuan forgot that the laws he had read and the documents he had written were all learned word by word by Jiang Mingzhao.
She started investigating a soup bowl that had been moved, verified false evidence, found witnesses, and solved the murderous situation. Finally, she was cleared of the crime and vindicated the betrayal in court.
Everyone was waiting to see how a woman who had been abandoned by her husband's family would survive, but she hung up a signboard for "Ming Zhao Litigation Hall" in the south of the city, specializing in writing petitions for those who had nowhere to redress their grievances.
The blood-stained wedding dress, the missing bride, the stolen dowry... One case after another came to her door, which also led her to the greater secret behind the murder of her mother-in-law.
Xie Wujiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, has tried all the mysterious cases in the world and never trusts anyone. Later, he was willing to accompany Jiang Mingzhao to investigate old cases and walk through the streets to see her seek justice for the woman in desperate situation with a piece of complaint.
