A gentle public-interest lawyer vs. a resilient grassroots policewoman
-
Liang Yanci and Wen Yanning met while working on grassroots mediation at a local police station...
A graduate of a prestigious law school, Liang Yanci gave up a high-paying job at a law firm to start his own public-interest practice. He spends one day a week at the station handling civil disputes, holding firm to his unshakable legal principles beneath his gentle exterior.
Wen Yanning works in police administration and has spent years handling complicated matters like domestic violence, neighbor disputes, and counseling minors. She appears calm and restrained, but is softhearted and empathetic within.
One community case after another turns the two into regular partners. They support the vulnerable and tackle social problems, with no antagonism between police and lawyers and no melodramatic rich-family plots. Amid the bustle of everyday life, they have each other's backs...
Their feelings emerge in the small moments: responding to a call in the rain at night, or sharing hot porridge during overtime. As adults, they maintain their boundaries and grow close slowly, moving toward each other and gently redeeming one another.
The male lead is gentle on the outside, principled within. The female lead is cool on the outside, warm within, and longs for a stable life. Both are each other's first and only love. Their relationship develops gradually, with no third party, forced misunderstandings, or melodramatic twists.
