Nomad translation – Note
Qi Xi was beautiful and a top student at law school. Her life could be described as smooth sailing.
The only thing she was dissatisfied with was all the trouble caused by her rival, Gu Yan.
Over four years as classmates, the opportunities and awards Qi Xi had lost to Gu Yan were simply countless.
Then, right before she was about to go on stage as an outstanding graduate representative, Qi Xi received a letter handed to her by Gu Yan, who wore an expressionless face.
A confession letter that was practically sexual harassment?!
The signature was written boldly and openly: Gu Yan.
In her anger, Qi Xi changed her speech draft. During her impromptu speech, she began with that confession letter, called on society to respect women, and launched into a passionate, satisfying denunciation:
“Gu Yan, you have the right to keep secretly loving me, but confessing like this is a crime!”

The letter was not written by Gu Yan…
Not long after, Qi Xi received an offer from Jinghe Law Firm.
She was selected to join the team of Jinghe’s strongest female partner, Partner Gu, and would also have an alumnus as her teammate.
On her first day at work, Qi Xi was called into the female partner’s office.
“Since you and my younger brother went to the same school, do you know who slandered and defamed him at the graduation ceremony?”
“As his older sister, I must defend my brother’s rights.”
The female partner parted her red lips and said, “I forgot to mention, my younger brother is Gu Yan. In other words, he’ll be your future teammate. You should know him, right?”
“…”
“Now, within five minutes, I want the name, ID number, and phone number of the woman who slandered my brother.”
“This is your first assignment: due diligence.”
“…”
