Divorce lawyer He Xi receives an unexpected request from Lin Siyao—her husband Shen Yu’s "fiancée"—asking for help to "persuade the original wife to step aside." Her nine-year marriage had crumbled: her husband began his affair on the anniversary of her father’s death, her in-laws pressured her son to accept a new mother, and the scar from her C-section became an object of revulsion to her husband. Calmly and methodically, He Xi gathered evidence and orchestrated a trap that led to her husband’s embezzlement and contract forgery; ultimately, she personally sent him to prison and saw the mistress sentenced as well. She led her son out of the wreckage, took over her husband’s failing company to stage a comeback, and embarked on a new romance with her business partner, Ji Yang. She emerged utterly victorious from this marital nightmare, becoming a beacon of light in her own life.
