Ten years ago, a capital public opinion frame-up shattered Shen Yan's stable life, leaving her trapped in the ruins of public opinion. She wrapped her obsession with cold armor and became a decisive crisis public relations consultant. During the same period, Lu Zeyan, who had personally experienced his mentor being wronged and was unable to make a comeback, was shackled by guilt for half his life and became a top commercial lawyer who abided by the rules and exercised extreme restraint. A workplace public opinion case reunites two strong men with old wounds. From the confrontation between legal principles and public opinion, they compete step by step, to dismantle the grayscale of human nature and empathize with each other's weaknesses. They have been trapped in a series of predicaments such as false accusations in the workplace and hunting by capital. They have peeled back the shady story of ten-year-old cases and broken through the gray chain of capital's control of public opinion and monopoly suppression. The two broke free from the shackles of self-imprisonment, let go of their obsessions and guilt, and faced worldly malice and loopholes in the rules side by side, healing each other and achieving two-way redemption in a land full of ashes. Finally, the injustice is settled, the past is reconciled, and the gleam of time that belongs to each other is found in the cold city.
Purpose: Abandon the narrow understanding of black and white, focus on the chaos of contemporary urban public opinion, capital hunting and the dilemma of human nature in the workplace. It tells the story of two adults who are burdened with trauma, breaking self-imprisonment, facing the grayscale of human nature, and healing and self-reconciling in both directions through confrontation and side by side. True redemption is not about unilateral rescue, but about staying true to one's heart despite darkness, healing and growing on the ruins, using gentleness and magnanimity to fight against the evil in the world, and interpreting the perseverance, relief and symbiosis of adults.
