Please Lie to Me

Lawyer Gao He, who has become a wife and mother, longs for a plain and perfect life. It is her rule and even paranoia not to do criminal cases or even civil litigation with complicated interests. But it all started with a phone call, and the perfect life she built and the normal memories she had before collapsed. The call was from her first love Mingjing, telling her that their mutual friend Lao Duan died in a car accident, but Mingjing insisted that Lao Duan died of murder... None of this had anything to do with her directly. But slowly, she felt that there seemed to be a flood coming from afar, deafening, and the ground beneath her feet was shaking... The flood had not really come yet, but the panic of not being able to figure out whether it was just a flood, or a mudslide, or other bigger disasters, was more terrifying than actually sinking in the surging waves.
