The Tang Dynasty’s Lady Litigator

At fifteen, she was a gifted young woman from an official family, utterly captivated by the intricate world of law and dreaming of becoming a female litigator.

At sixteen, she found love. After marriage, she managed the household, believing she and her husband would walk through life together in peace.

In her early twenties, the wheel of fate turned without warning. A mountain of debt came crashing down, sending him from the heights to the depths.

With no other choice, Liu Yan entered Zhenghe Hall and began a legal career strewn with thorns. There, she found friendship and encountered love once more, setting out at last on the path to uphold justice.

But life's trials did not end there. Divorce and debt disputes loomed before Liu Yan like two great mountains. Xiao Yi and Lin Wan never stopped making things difficult for her, and every step was a struggle. Then she was unexpectedly drawn into major cases involving imperial power struggles, including a prince's land-grabbing scheme and the theft of palace tribute goods. Threats and obstruction from all sides descended like a raging storm.

Now, looking back on the humiliation and injustice she has endured over the years, Liu Yan is filled with indignation and resolve. If they think she's weak and easy to bully, someone they can trample at will, then she'll rise up and make them think again! If they've maliciously slandered her in the past, she'll prove herself through her actions.
