The first time Li Xiang met Lin Yue was at the school anniversary preparatory meeting.
She sat opposite, speaking sharply and not giving in an inch. He thought she was just a spoiled young lady.
Later he learned that she would rush to his city on a snowy day just because she heard that his mother was hospitalized; she would stand outside the iron gate of the closed area at five o'clock in the morning just because he was inside; she would bear the expectations of the entire family on her own for a "three-year agreement."
But by then, he had already pushed her away.
In the eighth year after his father's death, Li Xiang grew from a law student to a grassroots judge. Every clue he traces points to a name he can't avoid - Wang Cheng.
He is his old enemy and the key person in the case of his father's death in the line of duty.
He chased it for ten years. Chasing the truth, pursuing justice, pursuing an answer that can allow my father to rest in peace.
But when he finally stood in front of the truth, he discovered that all seemingly accidental encounters were foreshadowings carefully calculated by fate.
"The law is a cold letter, but the man who writes it has his own burning stars."
This is a story about "holding the bottom line". The pace is slow, the emotion is heavy, and the foreshadowing is dense. If you are willing to sit down and read slowly, you will find that all the waiting is worth it.
Purpose: The essence of law is not punishment, but justice. Everyone accused has the right to a defense and every case deserves a fair hearing. This book explores the theme of "holding the bottom line under the weight of fate and learning to love and be loved in the abyss of hatred" through Li Xiang's ten-year journey from law student to grassroots judge to private lawyer. After his father died, Li wanted to spend ten years investigating the truth and redressing his father's injustice. But in the end, he was not swallowed up by hatred, but chose a more difficult path - to protect fairness with the law, to resolve hatred with kindness, and to warm the world with love. This book hopes to convey: The real strength of a person is not to never fall, but to stand up after falling and continue to move forward. May everyone struggling in the darkness find their own star.
