Secretly married, Lu Hailan becomes a tool for cleaning up Jing Linshen’s messes and helping him regain control of his family’s business.
On the day her law firm opens, Jing Linshen’s new lover shows up with a baby bump and makes a scene at the ceremony. Livestreaming her accusations, she berates Lu Hailan for knowingly being the other woman and says she has no right to be a lawyer.
Lu Hailan stays calm and pulls up their electronic marriage certificate, easily proving her innocence to the entire internet and winning back her clients’ trust.
After the ceremony, reporters photograph Lu Hailan heading to court to file for divorce.
Everyone says she’s trying to capitalize on the attention to get a bigger share of the assets.
Instead, Lu Hailan produces her complaint. She’s only seeking the marital assets Jing Linshen gave to his mistress, which she plans to use to fund the education of girls from poor families.
People then say she’s overestimating herself, thinking she can take on the entire Jing family legal team alone.
To everyone’s surprise, Lu Hailan wins the case and becomes famous overnight.
Jing Linshen, who has always done whatever he pleased, tries everything to keep her. He even brings his group of girlfriends forward to clear the air in public, then begs her on his knees night after night not to leave.
“Those rumors were only meant to make you jealous. I’ve never loved anyone but you.”
“When we got married, I swore there’d only be widowhood, never divorce. I refuse to accept the divorce ruling.”
Later.
At a forum for a summit of top lawyers, a reporter asks Lu Hailan,
“Attorney Lu, your career is so successful. Would you consider getting remarried?”
Lu Hailan smiles and asks in return, “How come I never see you ask men that?”
The reporters are left speechless by Attorney Lu’s sharp retort.
“Marriage, when you break the word apart, means a woman loses her head and becomes a prisoner. I have money and free time, family and friends. I won’t be losing my head and willingly entering a cage anytime soon!”
After those words, Lu Hailan is hailed as the goddess who presides over “clear-headedness in this world.”
Meanwhile, the hearts of all her suitors, including the young billionaire and the crown prince of the capital, lie shattered on the ground.
