Sophist

Shen Jue, the most famous criminal defense lawyer in Yuandu, nicknamed "Ghost Bian", has never lost a case in his twelve years of practice. He firmly believes that the law is the only weapon and that procedural justice is unshakable. However, on the day he successfully cleared himself of the charge of "abetting perjury," he mysteriously lost his voice. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious text message connected him with the most dangerous criminal mastermind on the dark web, "The Sophist" - these two nicknames have the same pronunciation. The nightmare ensues: being identified, arrested, convicted. Shen Jue watched helplessly as he was being molded into a substitute for the "Sophist" step by step, but he couldn't even utter a single word of defense. His wife, law firm, reputation, freedom... Everything is collapsing at an irreversible speed. Deep in the prison, an unexpected ally reveals the truth to him: the real "sophist" has long since set off his trap, and Shen is by no means the only one chosen. In order to clear his name, Shen Jue must do the thing he least wants to do - play the devil inside and outside the prison, go deep into the core of the dark world, and start a silent game with the real "sophist". This is a battle between language and logic, a battle between lies and truth. And his greatest weapon is exactly what he is best at - debating. Only this time, the court is replaced by the underground world, the judge is replaced by an outlaw, and the price of failure is death.
