Top lawyer Qin Song is sent to a backward county town to provide legal aid. When the locals hear about it, they all crowd around, making the already cramped little courthouse even more crowded.
A month later, Lawyer Qin, good-tempered and handsome as he is, can't take it anymore.
Citizen A: Boohoo, we can't work things out. My boyfriend cheated on me. Lawyer Qin, please take my side. Pretend to be my boyfriend and make him furious!
Citizen B: Someone called my daughter a slut for getting pregnant before marriage. The poor girl's reputation is ruined. Lawyer Qin, pretend to be my son-in-law. We have a car and a house.
"This is a courthouse. The matchmaking office is two doors down on the right."
A man with a cool expression walked in from outside, set his ID badge on the table, and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
Qin Song looked up. His expression changed, and he gritted his teeth. "Did you travel all this way just to mock me?"
Yan Qiu Chi: "You were demoted after your certification was revoked. I didn't meet this year's public service quota. It's not the same."
Qin Song: "..."
Yan Qiu Chi: "By the way, my rank is higher than yours now. I'm your superior."
Lawyer Qin wanted to swear.
Later, the locals said, "I heard these two used to be at each other's throats in court, almost getting into fights. Why don't they look like that anymore..."
Qin Song: "At first I wanted to fight. But somewhere along the way, things went off course..."
Question: What's it like being a lawyer in a remote area?
Qin Song: Thanks for asking. I just got out of bed, and honestly, I'm a little tired.
Yan Qiu Chi just smiled without saying anything.
Qin Song kicked him and held his lower back. "You're more trouble than a client, you bastard..."
Yan Qiu Chi: "What do you mean?"
Qin Song: "Before, you're a person. After, you're not."

P.S. The legal system doesn't entirely match our own, and some details are invented, so don't scrutinize them.
A lighthearted story. You can enjoy it even without professional legal knowledge.
