After taking Qiu Hua to a safe place, Luo Yingzi asks him to represent her in her divorce case, and they begin discussing the details.

Pressing for information, Luo Yingzi learns from Wang Dafu that he left evidence when giving Lao Han a “thank you” gift, and she also inquires about deceased Qin Ailian.

Chen Shuo uses his connections to meet police officer Wang Rui, sharing information to both find the killer and secure Qin Ailian’s compensation.

Luo Yingzi stays up all night, confiding in her mentor Mei Daliang, who guides her using his own experiences.

Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua get in a car while Lan Lan pretends to shop but secretly thanks Zhou, which Qiu Hua notices and warns Luo Yingzi to be cautious.

Chen Shuo shares investigation results with Wang Rui, while Lan Lan expresses interest in law, and Luo Yingzi sends her to Mei Daliang’s training school.

Lao Han arrives at the restaurant where Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua are and overhears Wang Dafu admitting to giving Lao Han thirty thousand, causing Lao Han to panic outside.

The judicial bureau approves the practice applications of Luo Yingzi, Qiu Hua, and Xia Shu, giving them a new platform.

Mei Daliang tells Luo Yingzi that Lan Lan frequently mingles socially and lacks focus; Luo Yingzi confronts her and discovers Lan Lan is involved with married Zhou, failing to persuade her, leaving Luo Yingzi frustrated.

Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua meet Mr. Wei, who fully supports their defense strategy; they negotiate fees and sign the contract after two days.

Mr. Wei asks to sign a contract with Luo Yingzi, but she cites a conflict of interest caused by Lao Han’s actions and declines, though Mr. Wei asks for a referral.

Fang Lihong calls Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua, saying Liu Ming’s asset transfer case is unfavorable; Chen Shuo has done much work as the bank’s lawyer, and the bank’s case will precede the divorce, meaning Luo Yingzi could lose her property.

Guo Yugang is summoned to the office by Yang Weida’s wife, Ms. Tian, who asks why he went to the law firm; he lies about legal issues with his hometown demolition.

On the way to Yang Weida’s company, Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua meet Chen Shuo, who advises that Yang Weida’s firm is extorting them and suggests making concessions at the right time.

In court, Chen Shuo argues that Mr. Wei was coerced into signing the equity agreement due to threats from his wife Qiao Lianfeng, presenting video and text evidence to the judge.

Luo Yingzi, Qiu Hua, and Xia Shu meet Wang Aiping to explain their intentions, but she denies ever being harassed by Yang Weida and refuses to cooperate.

Media attention intensifies on the case; under Chen Shuo’s direction, Weida’s company issues a statement omitting Guo Yu’s past support, quickly shifting public opinion.

While driving, Luo Yingzi falls asleep in the passenger seat; waking up, she is surprised as Chen Shuo asks for her address to return her keys.

In court, Luo Yingzi calls Xia Linlin, who testifies about her tragic experience, gaining unanimous sympathy from the judges.

Luo Yingzi rushes back after a call from Qiu Hua, who had met Yang Weida’s partner Ms. Tian during the day.

Ms. Tian meets Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua, requesting the destruction of Yang Weida’s rape evidence and pressures Fang Lihong through other law firm agents, leaving Fang trapped.

Fang Lihong, furious about Lao Han’s sexual harassment of Qiu Hua, tries to protect the firm’s interests, calms Qiu Hua, and orders Lao Han to apologize and make a verbal promise.

Lan Lan gives up on Zhou but sets her sights on Chen Shuo, asking Luo Yingzi to introduce her as an assistant, sweet-talking her doubts away.

Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua visit Xu Jianshe’s company, find it closed, but learn from security that he has several properties and can compensate but refuses to.

Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua meet Xu Jianshe, who recounts the situation and insists on his innocence.

Luo Yingzi confronts Liu’s mother, announcing her appeal and suing Liu Ming for fraud; Liu’s mother panics and calls Liu Ming.

Luo Yingzi’s car breaks down; while waiting for assistance, she receives a call from Chen Shuo, who comes and acts as her free driver.

Fang Lihong assigns Xia Shu to join Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua’s team; the three will handle cases together.

Ma Lili meets Xia Shu in a café, emotionally recounting her love story with Xu Jianshe and giving Xia Shu a letter to deliver to him.

Liu Ming’s parents come to the firm, threatening suicide to pressure Luo Yingzi to withdraw the case; Luo Yingzi firmly leaves, leaving them desperate.

While talking with Ding Zhaoguang, Wen Li teases and tests him, noting he is wary; then Xiao Ding bursts in to pursue his film dream, facing constant opposition.

Luo Yingzi exposes Ma Lili’s lies; Ma Lili signs a written guarantee promising not to trouble Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua again.

Qiu Hua points out that Chen Shuo has fallen in love with Luo Yingzi, but she laughs it off and does not take it seriously.

Under Luo Yingzi’s arrangement, Liu Ming’s mother finds Wen Li, who realizes she cannot stay in China for now and persuades Xiao Ding to go to Hollywood.

When Luo Yingzi, at 28, obtains her lawyer’s license, she plans to tell her husband Liu Ming on his birthday, but unexpectedly learns he and her friend Wen Li have fled abroad together.

It turns out Liu Ming’s betrayal was premeditated with his parents; Luo Yingzi asks her maid Lan Lan to help find property certificates for both families, especially the one under her name, and Lan Lan agrees.

Urged by Lao Han, Luo Yingzi prepares a defense statement and takes it to Mei Daliang for review, but he harshly criticizes her for drafting it without meeting the client, saying she’s unfit to be a lawyer.

Luo Yingzi confronts her in-laws about Liu Ming’s private loans but meets resistance; she approaches the lending company owner, Zhou, offering repayment with conditions, impressing him, and he agrees.

With efforts from Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua, another clue from Wang Dafu about a tipping truck is confirmed, saving Wang Dafu.

When Lao Han exits the courtroom, reporters swarm him, portraying him as a symbol of justice; Luo Yingzi criticizes Qiu Hua, but he calmly explains, and she apologizes.
