But the court is a hot potato, beset by one “incident” after another, leaving Leng Zhiguo struggling to keep up. At the same time, since the court handles all cases involving real estate, Leng Zhiguo must navigate the line between legal principles and human considerations, doing everything he can to bring justice into the hearts of the people who place their hopes in him.
Song Zhixiao has just joined the real estate court as a new assistant. Still too young and innocent to have lost her college-girl freshness, she must face the most difficult cases in civil and commercial law, as well as a lawyer boyfriend who controls and exploits her. The pressure makes her grow quickly. With the help of seasoned colleagues led by Leng Zhiguo, she soon becomes an outstanding member of a new generation of court professionals. In the end, she finds success in both her career and love, and wins the man of her dreams.
