    The secondary couple is Song Yun Shen and Lin You Xia, a cunning lawyer and a sweet, innocent career woman. It's a captivating story of a seemingly aloof but actually ruthless lawyer and a sunny, cheerful lawyer seeking redemption from a happy family. Xia Xia isn't a naive girl who lets herself be bullied; she fights back. This couple appears in the main story and also in the side stories. This is a must-read for any secondary couple (their side stories start at chapter 1264, and their names can also be found in the main story). I've always wanted to find a story with this kind of secondary couple, but I haven't found one that surpasses this one in popularity.
