Two legal worlds collide when&nbsp;Luo Bin (Jin Dong) meets Dai Xi (Lan Ying Ying).

The former is one of the most focused lawyers in the business, and a senior partner at the prestigious Panorama Law Firm. For him, the job is all about winning cases and very little else.

But when Dai Xi is charged with representing her best friend’s cause, she ends up at Panorama – and must work as Luo Bin’s assistant.

The two lawyers’ radically different outlooks mean that working together is anything but easy.
