★ Diving, two equally formidable leads, six-year age gap, slow-burn coming-of-age story
A tribute to the many athletes, great or ordinary, who have always loved their sport and stayed the course.
Synopsis
[Legendary, beautiful, strong, yet tragic and gentle senior x extraordinarily gifted, undefeated miracle child]
When Mi Duo first joined the national team, she was tiny. With her head of curly hair constantly soaked in the pool, she was as soft and light as a pretty doll.
It didn't take long for her to become the team's darling, clinging to the older boys and girls like a human accessory.
That year, Mi Duo made her first appearance on the turbulent international diving stage. Despite upheaval, she took first place with ease, shouldering the heavy burden of protecting China's gold medal hopes from Lu Xiran, the former Olympic champion and star athlete.
Lu Xiran retired after a serious injury, and Mi Duo grew up overnight.
Hailed as a “diving prodigy,” she followed in Lu Xiran's footsteps and began a six-year reign over the ten-meter platform.
Two Olympic Games, three World Championships, and three World Cups. No one could match her in individual platform diving. Some said she had turned a competitive sport into an art form.
But as she entered puberty, her results began to decline.
Mi Duo switched to synchronized platform diving, a discipline that demanded greater coordination, composure, and technique.
There, she found something more precious than a gold medal...
For Lu Xiran, Mi Duo had long been more than just a junior teammate.
She was the continuation of Lu Xiran's career, and the light in her abyss.
It probably began when Mi Duo pressed Lu Xiran's number bib to her chest on the highest podium.
Sharing in the glory meant it wasn't a dim ending after all.
Mi Duo was Lu Xiran's greatest good fortune.

[Stunning prison rose vs. legal beauty]
[A lone wolf infiltrates enemy territory and dismantles an entire human trafficking operation.]
The woman she brought home from a bar became the subject of her legal aid case the next morning. The woman didn't seem interested in accepting her help, either.
When Yin Qingli saw Qin Li again, she expected that things wouldn't be going well for her, but she hadn't expected them to be this bad.
Wire was wound around the pale flesh of her legs, cutting into infected wounds. The first thing she said to Yin Qingli was, “Lawyer Yin, it hurts.”
Yin Qingli told her, “Give me a month at most. I'll get you out of prison.”
“No,” Qin Li replied.
“I want you to defend me by pleading guilty.”
Yin Qingli discovered that Qin Li lived in a world she couldn't even imagine.
The line between black and white was clear, but love and desire were tangled beyond comprehension.
“Lawyer Yin, let me stay the night.”
When Qin Li appeared at her door again, reeking of blood, Yin Qingli realized that no matter what, she couldn't turn her away.
“Just one night. Get out tomorrow.”
“...Then let's make it a full night.”
Theme: Bring honor to the country, and bring honor to you.
