Synopsis

In a year where every challenge seems insurmountable, Han Ming’s story unfolds. Han Ming is a seconded prosecutor whose life is a whirlwind of complications following his transfer to the municipal prosecutor’s office. His son, Han Yuchen, ignites a firestorm by clashing with dean’s son and adamantly refuses to apologize. His wife, Li Maojuan, fiercely intervenes, further escalating the situation. At work, Han Ming navigates a minefield of professional challenges, especially his strained partnership with Lü Lingling, which results in a deadlock in their cases. Amidst these chaos, the desperate plight of Hao Xiuping in a critical case confronts Han Ming with the harsh realities of legal and emotional conflict. With his career and family hanging in the balance, Han Ming decides to gamble everything on his quest for justice and fairness in his own way…
