Imperfect Victim

The workplace sexual assault case, triggered by an anonymous third-party report, initially saw the victim, Zhao Xun (played by Lin Yun), denying any harm done. It was only five days later that she reported the assault and accused the perpetrator of rape. The defense attorney for the accused, Lin Kan (played by Zhou Xun), initiated a preliminary investigation, systematically dismantling the victim's accusations with irrefutable legal facts, swiftly bringing the truth to light and concluding the criminal investigation, prompting the police to drop the case.

To salvage his tarnished reputation and mitigate the adverse effects on his business, the accused Cheng Gong (played by Liu Yijun) took legal action against Zhao Xun for defamation, with Lin Kan representing him. As the case unfolded and details emerged, Zhao Xun became the target of online harassment, her personal and professional life crumbled, and she suffered from societal shaming and unemployment. Caught between legal facts and the subjective "objective truths" within her conscience, Lin Kan faced unprecedented ethical dilemmas in her career, unsure of how to proceed.
