Summary
Qiu Dingjie is a name whispered with equal parts reverence and resentment in the legal world. As a lawyer, known for his exorbitant fees and a heart as cold as his courtroom logic, he only accepts cases that guarantee either a massive payout or a historic precedent.
Then comes Huang Xing.
Battered, desperate, and carrying the weight of a secret that has systematically dismantled his life, Huang Xing arrives at Dingjie's office with a plea no one else will hear.
For years, he has been the victim of domestic and sexual abuse at the hands of his partner, a high profile businessman with the power to bury any scandal. Huang Xing's tragedy is compounded by a lack of paper trails. All he has are just the fading bruises on his skin and a story that the world is prone to ignore.
When Qiu Dingjie meets Huang Xing's plea with his trademark icy silence and a dismissive glance, the younger man finally breaks. Kneeling at the feet of the man he thought was his last hope, Huang Xing's voice cracks with a devastating question, "Is it because I am a man?"
"If you don't take my case, I don't know where else to go. Save me. My life either starts today, or it ends here."
