When idealistic prosecutor Shen Zhiyao investigates a major financial case, all clues point to the mysterious intelligence businessman Lu Jinglan. Two people on opposite sides of the law fell into a fatal attraction during investigation and counter-investigation.
Lu Jinglan walks in the gray area, but makes exceptions for Shen Zhiyao time and time again; Shen Zhiyao adheres to procedural justice, but has a difficult choice between evidence and feelings. When the truth was revealed, they discovered that they had been trapped in a larger conspiracy.
"The justice I have pursued all my life requires me to sentence you to death with my own hands."

This was the ultimate trial in which love was sacrificed. When the gavel fell, he protected justice, but forever lost the reason to stand in the light.
Purpose: To explore the conflict between procedural justice and consequential justice, as well as the ultimate choice between faith and personal feelings.
