Designer Joy Wilson spent seven years handcrafting the exclusive haute couture wedding dress "Yaoguang Jin". Her Auntie Lila Lewis's family wanted to save face for her son Jake Miller's wedding, so they came to Joy's studio asking to borrow the dress and were firmly rejected. Lila Lewis stole the spare key to Joy's studio, broke into the studio with her family late at night and stole the wedding dress. When Joy found the theft and called to ask for the dress back, the other party acted unreasonably and refused to return it, so Joy directly called the police. The Miller family took the wedding dress to the wedding venue, where it was burned by cigarette ash, stained with oil, and incorrectly washed, leaving the haute couture dress completely destroyed. Mid-wedding, police arrived at the scene and took Lila Lewis, Jake Miller and others suspected of Burglary into custody for investigation. Back at the studio, Joy presented the severely damaged dress and complete evidence. The Miller family tried to use family ties to morally pressure Joy into a private settlement, which Joy rejected. Subsequent lawyer calculations showed that the total Civil Compensation including material costs, repair costs, artistic depreciation, and legal fees amounted to 790,000 yuan. Faced with the huge compensation, the Miller family turned on each other and fell out. When the case went to trial, the court, based on surveillance footage, recordings, physical evidence, and Lila Lewis's prior Burglary record, issued a ruling
