A Cliché-Ridden Story, but I'm a Top Lawyer

Before dying suddenly, Lu Hanshi was the notorious ace demon of the legal world. As long as the legal fees were high enough, he would take any case. After his sudden death, Lu Hanshi is reborn as a trainee legal assistant in a melodramatic novel, earning a salary that leaves him owing fifteen hundred a month. Lu Hanshi's first thought: What kind of pathetic cannon fodder character is this! His second thought: Tsk, a plot with brain damage dating back years, and legal illiterates everywhere... Wait You're telling me all those abused protagonists will be rich someday?! * The Overbearing CEO's Seedy Life The real young master, switched at birth, is thrown out of his family home and falls so low that even stray dogs take a bite out of him. It seems he'll never get back on his feet. Only Lu Hanshi knows he's got the protagonist's destiny, and will eventually become the top man in the capital's elite circles, capable of bringing down even the most powerful tycoon. But right now, the drenched, frail young man is curled up on an overpass in the pouring rain, his gaze sinister and his body trembling... The Mad Substitute's Forced Love After a rising academic star dies young, the police finally uncover the tragic truth: he was tricked into a sham marriage, imprisoned, and driven to jump from a building. But with the death of this genius, the nation's hopes of breaking through technological restrictions are gone for good, and the whole country is devastated. Lu Hanshi flips through the script. Good grief, the story is just about to reach the part where the refined, elegant man discovers the truth about the substitute, then drags his badly injured leg up to the seventeenth-floor rooftop! The Cannon Fodder Beauty Is Forced Into Depravity The entertainment industry's cannon-fodder beauty, hailed across the internet as a once-in-a-generation face, is famously defiant. His stubborn refusal to provide company, drink, or sleep with anyone is as well-known as his handsome face. A schemer covets this unattainable beauty, drugs him, films him, and, after tiring of manipulating him, cruelly abandons him. By the time Lu Hanshi arrives, the drug has taken effect on the face fans say was lovingly kissed by God. It is flushed and damp, and he is swaying on his feet! The protagonists are trapped in tragic love and hatred. Lu Hanshi works tirelessly toward his golden badge, showing up "just in time" at each melodramatic scene, at the very last moment. The young man in a tailored suit offers a gold-embossed business card, his tone polite and kind: "Hello. Would you be interested in legal services with a one-hundred-percent success rate?" * Lu Hanshi finally gets rich overnight by saving the protagonists. His new law firm is thriving, and his savings are longer than his life. The only flaw is that the protagonists, already hopeless romantics, look at him, their cannon-fodder tool, more strangely with every passing day. Lu Hanshi: ??? Wait, aren't we all just in a purely business relationship? Later, faced with the protagonists' reddened eyes, hoarse voices, and the five-star hotel key cards, diamond-and-gold handcuffs and shackles, and deeds to villas with golden cages clutched tightly in their hands... Lu Hanshi: Damn it! Don't come any closer! #Who said I wanted your bodies! Defamation! This is defamation! I really just want to make money :(# #Getting rich beats falling in love# #H-help! They actually want to force a deal on an ace lawyer!# [Reader's Guide] 1. A chaotic ensemble story, with a focus on healing. Not a traditional legal drama, not quick transmigration. All the stories share the same universe, and the three characters in the blurb are only part of the main plot. No shipping wars. Xiao Shang is the endgame, but some characters have one-sided crushes on Xiao Lu. Please steer clear if that bothers you. 2. Lu Hanshi is the very picture of a Gary Stu, a workaholic who loves money more than life. He is not a perfect character. (The golden badge refers to the 18 mm lawyer's badge. The 40 mm one worn in court is blue.) 3. The author has a legal qualification certificate (really! I can show it), but the melodramatic novel takes place in a fictional world with plenty of authorial liberties and a mix of legal systems. Everything serves the plot, so please don't compare it to real life (clasps hands). * [Coming soon: My Pre-Publication Novel] The Movie Star Came From the Republican Era In the autumn of 1937, Yu Qiubai, the leading star of the opera world, closed his eyes on Shanghai's most celebrated stage. The cause of his death was unknown. When he opened his eyes again, he had become the "clout-chaser" cursed by the whole internet. #Minor Actor Yu Qiubai Fakes a Faint to Get Attention# was trending. The director of a shoddily made web series slammed down the script. "You even use eye drops for your crying scenes? Do you know how to act? You're fired!" Yu Qiubai, who used to draw crowds of ten thousand whenever he took the stage: ??? He looked at his empty wallet and calmly dabbed some tea water onto the corner of his eye. The instant he raised his gaze, the Republican-era opera star's eyes shimmered, and a trembling tear brought the entire room to silence. * A behind-the-scenes video from the low-budget web series Dream of the Pear Garden leaked. A moving image of a young man in a blue robe turning back with a plum blossom in hand captivated viewers, who called it a textbook example of fragile beauty. His rendition of "Kunshan Jade Shattered" moved veteran artists in the industry to tears, and they cried out that the art was in good hands. Yu Qiubai became a star. In this prosperous, peaceful new era, even an actor from the lowest rung of society has the right to be treated as a person. He had planned to quietly study his scripts, coast through life on his acting skills, and forget his past. But after winning the Best Actor award, he was stopped backstage. The up-and-coming director Gu Zhizhou, famed for his cold heart and indifference, gripped his wrist tightly, his gaze dark. "Mr. Yu, you personally taught me how to get into character at the Paramount back then. Are you pretending you don't know me now?" * Everyone knew that Director Gu, gifted and short-tempered, was terrified of driving. But no one knew that on a stormy night, he'd once driven a hundred miles without stopping just to bring back the great actor Yu, who had spent the night on set, studying his role. Before his death, Gu Zhizhou had two regrets: First, he had fallen for a heartless, unfeeling actor while undercover. Second, bound by his mission, he had been forced to watch helplessly as that man died, the sound of his phoenix flute fading away. Fortunately, Heaven took pity on him and gave him a chance to make things right. [I want this glittering world of fame and fortune to listen as I sing of a world teeming with demons and ghosts] Yu Qiubai [Reader's Guide] 1.
