[Coming Soon: Six Chi of Salt and The Thousand-Demon Path. Add them to your list if you're interested!]
You Wei thought the worst mistake she'd ever made was letting a moment of weakness get the better of her and staining Jiang Yao, a blank sheet of paper, after a night of heavy drinking.
When he sobered up, he pressed a hand to his throbbing temples and looked at her coldly, while still making time to work on his paper. Its subject was “the fruit of the poisonous tree.”
Long after she chose to leave him, she would think that those four words had already foretold the end: a relationship that began with a mistake was doomed to end badly.
Since becoming a criminal defense lawyer, Jiang Yao had always upheld the scales of justice, no matter whom he defended, and tried to secure the fairest possible outcome for them.
Yet he was the one who suffered the greatest injustice. It wasn't the night he spent with You Wei. It was when he fell for her, only for her to treat him like trash and leave him behind in London.
If she didn't want him, he would never turn back.
A few years later, after she returned to the country, someone knocked on her door.
He stood outside, his expression indifferent. “I'm here to pay you back.”
She frowned. “You don't have to.”
But he, always so proper, had already undone the top button of his shirt. “Or do you need some other kind of compensation?”
“Let's go to hell together. At the very end of hell, we'll see if we can find a ray of light.”
Theme: When reason and emotion are at odds, never let your sense of justice die.
The pre-released articles "Six Feet of Salt" & "The Way of Thousand Demons", one is a current story and the other is a fantasy. If you are interested, you can read it~ Pre-receipt of 1 "Six Feet of Salt" [The person who fell into the water x the person who chased the sea] At first, he wanted to take revenge on her, but in the end, he just wanted her to be happy. He didn't know what kind of emotion this was. Until she left, he knelt on the beach after the waves receded, scraped up the salt from the sun with his fingertips, and tasted it carefully on the tip of his tongue. The warm and salty taste filled the air, and he cried while thinking of her. Preview 2 "The Way of Thousand Demons" When you are born in troubled times, your life is like a piece of cake. Yang A'tian had been exploited by others all his life. Before his death, he was still exploited and poisoned by demons. In order to transform into evil spirits, she did not hesitate to seduce Pei Wuliang, the jade-faced man who was about to ascend to immortality. She resorted to any means, and after a moment of love, the gains outweighed the losses - the demonic aura in her body was not removed, but instead aroused Pei Wuliang's disgust. Fortunately, this man was a true gentleman. Although he had resentment in his heart, he still proposed to marry her out of morality. On the day of their wedding, she knocked him out with Hexin wine, stole his "Destiny Talisman", pretended to be him and rushed to Longmen Terrace. But she never thought that before she could achieve immortality, she would instead embark on a long road. When she met the liar again, Pei Wuliang had already forgotten her past, just because she added an extra dose of "Duanchen Powder" when she drank Hexin wine with him. Drinking this powder will stop love and hatred, and you will forget your enemies and lovers together. She wanted him to forget his hatred, but in fact he had broken up with her. Fortunately, that night he only drank one sip and got drunk, so the relationship was not completely broken off. "People have their own paths, and monsters have their own paths."

Wow, it's so well written about the trial process. Sighing?
Since Yu didn't want to struggle anymore, why did she still seek a lawyer?
There will be better works in the future. Come on.
