[Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god. - Aristotle]

I'm the one he wants to seek revenge from.

He wants me to destroy myself.

Then why doesn't he just kill you?

[Chapter 1] [The Girl Who Buried Her Heart in the Ground]

[Episode 1] [Encounter]

The real cornflower

should be a smoke blue with a purple hue and a velvet-like haze.

But yours is too perfect.

Isn't it good to be perfect?

It's the law of nature.

Random is the best.

The inside of each gem contains

its unique identity marked by minerals.

I'm sorry, sir.

I really can't authenticate something that's fake.

That's right. I understand.

Maybe...

I won't buy it today.

No.

You ruined my business today.

If you don't buy it, don't think about leaving today.

- Are you going to buy it or not? - I will. I will.

You can't buy it. It's fake.

I don't want to buy it either.

But it's more important to stay alive.

- Are you going to buy it or not? - Of course not!

- Are you going to buy it or not? - Yes.

You can't buy it.

- I'll buy it! - You can't buy it.

I'll buy it!

What are you two doing?

Seize him! Don't run! Stop right there!

Help! Help!

I'm really not joking this time.

I'm going to die.

You're an appraiser who speaks the truth.

You're quite something.

You were running away with my customer.

Why did you run?

I'll see you speak the truth to me now.

Not a lot of people will speak the truth in this day and age.

You'll pay for the truth you spoke!

I admit.

I admit.

Although I can't lie,

it's not good

to be too greedy.

Fine.

I'll see how a blind man can be an appraiser.

[He Chufeng, Locksmith Robin, Appraiser]

Is this suitcase heavy? When did you buy it?

Stay away from me.

One meter away.

How can I stay one meter away?

80cm at most.

Take care of these things yourself next time.

I can't take care of it.

I saw everything.

Let me ask you.

Did you do something special dressed like this today?

Why did you dress like that?

Granny, you're here.

I came to pick out some jewelry.

I'll help you pick them out.

I heard you got yourself in trouble again.

Why don't you say anything nice about me?

You're pretty fast when you tell people things like that.

Granny, let me explain.

Here's what happened.

They asked me to appraise the jewelry...

So, we had a little conflict.

But don't worry, I'm a real man.

This little wound isn't serious.

Can't you be quiet so early in the morning?

How dare you mention quiet to me?

The sound of you grinding keys every morning

is like a 360-degree surround sound.

I just don't want to talk to you.

Conversations promote the communication of mankind

and communication promotes the advancement of mankind.

Just be quiet.

Granny, you must take a look at the bill.

I feel very relieved to have you here.

What about these?

These are nice.

Try this on first.

Sure.

But if you don't look at it,

I'll think I haven't done my work properly.

What are you saying?

Manager Robin, I only feel so at ease

because you're managing the store.

Okay. I'll come to see it tonight.

This is not bad.

Alright, I'm leaving.

Bye, Chufeng.

Bye, Granny.

Granny,

the bill.

Bye.

Take care, Granny.

[Sui Yi, Trainee Lawyer]

I think I was scammed.

Ma'am, please stay calm.

Tell me how you were scammed in detail.

My wife despises me for snoring when I sleep.

You want me to persuade your wife?

There's no use persuading her.

Counselor Lady, please give me your opinion.

He cheats when he plays cards.

So many people are watching me.

Who's cheating?

You dropped your card on the ground. I already saw it.

- You didn't see anything. - You're still quibbling?

My son really likes to eat braised beef, tomato scrambled eggs,

and sweet and sour fish.

So, I bought fish and eggs.

Ma'am, let's get to the point.

But I can't control myself.

We always fight over this at home.

I don't know what to do either.

The point is, look at these eggs.

One of them is big and the other one is small.

What should I do?

I mean how to stop snoring.

I'll help you find a solution.

- Don't come out and play! - He's really unreasonable!

- We all know you! - Calm down. Calm down.

- Who's cheating? - You're the cheater!

- How dare you quibble? - Do you know how to play?

Sure, I do!

Tonight is Yue's performance.

When can I get off work?

Hello, is this Su Xiaoyue's makeup room?

Yes. Who are you?

I... I'm Xiaoyue's fan.

I really like Su Xiaoyue.

I want to take a picture with Xiaoyue. Can I do that?

Get out.

This is a workspace. Why did the fans come to the greenroom?

Fans these days are unbelievable.

They even came to the makeup room for a photo.

That's insane.

Our Xiaoyue cannot take a picture with just anyone.

Am I right, Xiaoyue?

It's alright.

Well, wait to go on stage when you're ready.

The show is about to start.

Go on now.

Go on. Go, go.

Xiaoyue,

here's the new phone card and phone.

No one knows about it, right?

You can count on me.

I also texted you your new address and passcode to the door.

Don't be upset.

Don't stoop to their level.

They're just jealous of you.

The fans are all out there longing to see you now.

My heart thumps for you!

Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue!

My heart thumps for you!

Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue!

Xiaoyue!

Xiaoyue!

Xiaoyue!

A new girl band Starmoon Girls launches this summer.

Many topics evolve around super idol Su Xiaoyue.

Since the establishment of the band,

Su Xiaoyue has been the focus of attention.

With a huge fan base,

she's always been very passionate about being on stage

and she continues to shine.

Su Xiaoyue said that being herself is her biggest motivation

on stage.

Good luck, Xiaoyue!

Hello, Monster Locksmith.

Please fill out this form.

Why should I fill this out?

I'm sorry. This is our rule.

Show me your ID.

Why must I show my ID?

I'm sorry. This is the rule of our industry.

If you don't show me your ID, I can't unlock the door for you.

Please take off your sunglasses and mask.

Can we start now?

Wait a minute.

I want the most high-end, most advanced,

and safest combination lock in the world

A high-tech lock that no one can breach.

What is it?

A lot of people trust combination locks like you.

Should I

trust your primitive lock from the last century?

Ms. Su, you want the safest lock that no one can breach.

That's right.

A combination lock is the easiest to crack.

You opened it so quickly?

The anti-theft doors they often use on the market

use smart lock mode in their combination locks.

As long as we interfere with the transformer's signal

and destroy its encryption algorithm to fool the lock cylinder,

no matter how complicated the lock cylinder is,

it's easy to unlock it.

So, don't be so quick to believe those so-called new technologies.

About the civil case of Ms. Lin Huiying suing her son Chen Silu,

after several weeks of communication made by Counselor Chen,

we finally convinced Ms. Lin to drop the lawsuit

and strive for a pretrial settlement.

What do you all think?

Here we go again.

Sui Yi, what do you think?

I read Ms. Lin Huiying's file.

Her life has already been disrupted

and she has no other source of income.

But if she insists on suing him, she's very likely to win the case

and has the court's support to forcibly implement it.

But if she just gives up or withdraws the lawsuit,

she might still not get a dime in alimony at this stage.

It would be a complete waste of her time and energy.

That's the client's own decision

to accept a settlement at the appeal stage.

That's the decision she made after we showed her

all the possible conditions.

The client has her own concerns.

Although you passed the Bar Exam first go, you should know

as a lawyer, if you would ignore your client's true wishes

and deliberately lead her to make a decision

just to increase the success rate of your cases,

I believe

that's very unprofessional.

The fundamental reason why she sued

was that she cannot survive anymore.

If we don't solve the practical problem

for the client because of a temporary feeling,

does that make us professional?

There's more, this has nothing to do

with whether I passed the Bar Exam on my first try.

You two,

can you remain clear-headed?

What are you doing?

Please put yourself in the right position.

What are you?

You are just a trainee lawyer.

You're just an apprentice.

I asked you to join the meeting

because I want you to learn something.

Don't exceed your duties and meddle.

Either

you listen carefully

or

Get out.

Alright, let's continue.

Please come in.

Please take a seat.

Wait a minute, please. Mr. Wang will be here soon.

Thank you.

I didn't expect to come to Xiaoyue's agency.

I wonder if I can see Xiaoyue later.

Counselor Zhou, I was a bit hot-headed

at the discussion meeting today.

I was a bit emotional.

I will surely learn from my mistakes

and do my best to analyze the case objectively.

I won't put too many personal feelings into it.

It's good that you realized that.

We're lawyers, not psychologists.

We provide legal services.

We should be neutral and impartial.

Got it.

Thank you, Counselor Zhou.

How about this?

You can try to answer the questions

this agency raised later.

Me?

First, the other party's actions already cause portrait infringement.

With the current evidence we have, the other party already earned

over 8 million in illegal profit

for using the portraits of our artist.

If we continue to investigate,

this number might increase even further.

While we investigated the first portrait infringement case,

we also noticed an infringement of reputation right.

That's outrageous.

The internet is not a land beyond the law.

We can turn the public opinion around through lawsuits.

We believe both of these issues are litigable.

Thus, we also prepared two sets of litigation plans.

These are the two statements of claims we drafted.

Judging by the current situation, we can start to preserve evidence

from the following aspects.

I'm looking for you.

Xiaoyue?

Excuse me for a moment. You guys continue.

No, no, no.

Let me recall it.

What was I doing at the time?

Was I too silly?

I don't think so. I think I was alright.

I think I was saying,

we can start to preserve evidence yes, from the following aspects.

That's it.

Then, she just walked in.

She's so beautiful. My girl.

Stay clear-headed.

I can't keep a clear head.

She's too beautiful.

My girl.

I can't believe I got to see her.

These people are so...

No, no.

For my girl,

I must work hard to get my law certificate.

Who is it?

Who's out there?

Hello.

Monster Locksmith.

The lock you installed for me was pried open.

That's not possible.

But it's pried open now.

Where are you? I'll come to you.

Okay.

Let's meet at the intersection in the neighborhood.

Where are you going?

To pick someone up.

Pick someone up? That's rare.

I'm going with you.

What's so rare about picking someone up?

I need to document it.

Don't film me.

No. We made a deal. I have to document it.

Don't film me.

I have to film you.

Don't film me.

I'm using my own phone.

Well, don't use your phone to film me.

Didn't we make a deal?

We need to document the little things in life.

If you don't want to be scolded, you better put your phone away.

What's wrong?

Hello.

I'll take you to our store.

Hello.

Hello.

Ms. Su, I know it's not convenient for you to talk here.

Let's go to the store.

Xiaoyue?

This adorable lawyer...

I'm sorry.

How can you just throw someone without reason?

You are such a strange lawyer.

I thought you guys are stalking fans of Xiaoyue.

Do you think we look like that kind of person?

I'm sorry.

I'll compensate you if you need.

You can solve your problem first.

Someone pried open the lock you changed for me.

No way.

But someone was definitely in my room last night.

Someone definitely came in.

I told you I want a safe combination lock.

You just had to give me a normal lock

that could be easily pried open.

There can't be a problem with my lock.

I live on the 46th floor.

If there's nothing wrong with your lock,

could that person be Spider-Man who walked on walls

and climbed in from the window?

That's possible.

Sir, please answer my question directly.

The client's question is that

there appears to be a safety problem with the lock you provided

and it affected my client's normal life.

Once your lock is proven to be the problem,

we can sue you at any time.

If you don't want to infect others.

Thank you.

Let's not be so quick to sue.

We can take care of the problem.

The most important thing now is to solve the problem, right?

Ms. Su,

have you been under too much stress from work lately?

Are you saying there's a problem with my mental state?

No, no, that's definitely not what I mean.

Sir, please don't make a subjective judgment

about my client's mental state.

That's slander. Plus,

are you an official locksmith?

Do you have a business license?

What do you have to prove it?

Not only do we have a business license,

but we also filed a record with the police.

Look.

I wouldn't have come to you

if you weren't recommended by a friend.

Xiaoyue, let's leave.

I'll take you to an official locksmith with a real lock picker.

You can tell this showy store is a scam at first glance.

This trainee lawyer,

please don't make a subjective judgment about our professionalism.

That's slander as well.

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Oh, God.

I'm actually standing at Xiaoyue's door with her now.

No, no.

I have to stay clear-headed.

Xiaoyue is encountering a problem now.

I have to protect her.

Move over.

You're blocking the way.

I understand.

You mean the two of them?

One of them is an idol.

No wonder you won't let me take pictures.

That trainee lawyer is definitely a fan of the idol.

I mean, can you go talk to them for a while

and let me unlock it myself?

You're in my way.

You mean that trainee lawyer?

She doesn't seem really good.

But she's quite a fighter.

She was able to beat you up. That's awesome.

What secret signals are you exchanging?

You're in my way. Move.

I confirmed it.

This lock hasn't been pried open.

Can we check out the room?

Come on in.

You don't need to change your shoes.

What are you doing? Come in.

White platycodon,

eternal love, hopeless love.

I think my manager put them there.

I don't really remember.

This flower is pretty durable.

Don't you draw the curtain open when you're at home?

How can an artist leave the curtain open?

What if the paparazzi take her picture?

They can take pictures from such a tall building?

No matter what floor she lives, some fans can still take pictures of her.

But...

You can't see the sun like this.

Privacy is very important for an artist.

Privacy is important for anyone.

Can we look at your room?

Sure.

This is my room.

Isn't that the joint edition of Gundam and Hello Kitty?

They even released an anime together.

Hello, sis. Do you like the flowers I gave you?

I want to be with you forever.

Sis, this is a gift set.

You should look carefully.

There's a surprise waiting for you.

Get out!

Are you done?

Are you done yet?

Thanks, bro.

Steamed Bun is very important to us.

If we can't find him, we would be so sad.

What about 4601?

Why can't we see that apartment?

They asked for that themselves.

They said they want to protect their privacy.

I don't understand either.

Well, can we look at the footage in the hallway?

And the elevator, too.

Didn't you say you're looking for a cat?

Can a cat take the elevator?

That will be the last one, sir.

The last one.

They only have footage for 7 days

and no footage on her apartment.

The lock can't possibly be the problem.

Did you search the room carefully?

I did and I didn't find anything.

Where could he be?

Did he leave?

But he wasn't caught on camera.

Well...

It's possible.

This boy is quite something.

Let's go in now. Let's go.

Stay here and keep a watch on him. Don't let him cause trouble.

That old man is so rich.

We're rich now.

We don't have to worry about money for the rest of our lives.

- You're not going in? - Hurry up.

Stash more in there.

It's a rare thing to split it evenly.

We filled them all up.

- Look over here. - Fill it all up.

It's really money!

I'll help!

Why did you come in?

- Go guard the door! - Stash the money.

- Forget it. - Let's go.

That locksmith locked the door.

Do you want to die?

Open the door!

Open it now!

Open the door!

Grand Seiko, the 1970 version.

This is fine craftsmanship. It even surpassed the masterpieces of Swiss watches.

Although it doesn't have the distinguished design of Blancpain

or the elegance of Patek Philippe, it has a precise lock mechanism.

It's an incredible utility.

After I repair it, we can sell it for about 200,000.

Really?

Thank you.

A limited edition of Steiff Teddy Bear, made in 1880

by the first German toy company in the world.

The appraiser is over here.

Do you want to pick a lock or an appraisal?

Is He Chufeng here?

He's not here.

To differentiate from counterfeits,

the Steiff company has sewn buttons and a tag on the bear's ears.

Really?

Do you want to sell it? I can give you a good price for it.

Sure. I can sell it to you at 50% off.

Can you help me set up a meeting with He Chufeng?

Usually, the first step to authenticate a Louis Vuitton bag

is to check the tag.

The word "Louis Vuitton"

and "Made in France" on the authentic ones should be rather flat

while "Paris" appears rather slim and tall.

I'm sorry, this is fake.

Don't tell other people this is fake

or I'll make a complaint against you.

I'm so tired.
