New lawyer Ji Qingzhao has had bad luck in recent years.
Her father went bankrupt, her original law firm was investigated, and her partners were taken to the detention center.
Unemployment and high debt. The house you have lived in for many years is no longer a home, but a number in the mortgage balance.
I thought my life had hit rock bottom——
An unreliable boss gave her an unusual contract.
A bizarre business lawsuit thrust her into the executive ranks of a popular technology company.
A musical taste that falls between moderation and indulgence allowed her to resonate with the young founder only when the lights were on.
The case went smoothly and life went smoothly.
A secret duet under the night, the melody flows in the pauses of words, as beautiful as the moonlight flashing on the wall of a glass.
Only occasionally, she would have a vague feeling that some beats were not in her hands.
That's because——
All contracts in the world have consideration.
Suspicious cross-border financing, undercurrent equity restructuring, and fierce overseas litigation all weighed down heavily, leaving no room for her to breathe.
Some people stand very tall, holding infinite chips in their hands, and remain calm, making it difficult for people to guess what they want.
Some things have no names, but they always light up the road for her half an inch from the darkness at critical moments.
Ji Qingzhao is just a young lawyer. He thinks he is just bolder, more careful, and more truthful when translating materials.
But she still had to peel back the cocoon at the center of the storm, and follow those moments that occasionally arrived before intuition, to uncover the truth hidden behind the terms, evidence, and various anomalies bit by bit - including the exchange that had already begun, and what she was asked to give back in the end.
Even if it costs everything...
I still want to play a song with you again.
Intent: In the midst of disorder and pressure, she refused to hand over herself and her right to choose, and finally took her destiny back into her hands.
