Lawyer Fu, Madam Said She Won't Turn Back

Shen Qing Shu and Fu Si Yan had a secret marriage for five years. She hid her feelings for him. On New Year’s Eve, while alone in the Nanxi Mansion, she watched a WeChat video on her phone showing Fu Si Yan proposing to film empress Zhou Yu Chu, placing a ring on her finger. She recognized his limited-edition watch and felt bitterness. Shen Qing Shu had been added on WeChat by Zhou Yu Chu six months ago and often saw Fu Si Yan in her posts. That night, Fu Si Yan returned unexpectedly. He forced intimacy despite her discomfort and refusal. She was about to mention her overdue menstruation, but he ignored her. After he finished, she lay awake in pain as he left early in the morning after a phone call.

The next day, Qin Fang, Fu Si Yan’s mother, summoned Shen Qing Shu to the Fu family home. She instructed Shen Qing Shu to come immediately. On the way, she bought a pregnancy test. At the Fu residence, Qin Fang sat with Zhou Yu Chu. Zhou Yu Chu revealed that Fu Si Yu, the child Shen Qing Shu had raised for five years, was actually her biological son with Fu Si Yan. Zhou Yu Chu explained that she had concealed the relationship due to her career. Shen Qing Shu was devastated, realizing Fu Si Yan had deceived her from the start. Fu Si Yu refused to accept Zhou Yu Chu, clinging to Shen Qing Shu. Qin Fang accused Shen Qing Shu of brainwashing the child. Shen Qing Shu retorted but was pushed away by servants when she tried to leave with Fu Si Yu. Fu Si Yan arrived and took Fu Si Yu aside. Later, Zhou Yu Chu gave Fu Si Yu gifts, and Fu Si Yu, after being told by his father that his mother had suffered for him, called her "Mom." Zhou Yu Chu cried happily.

Shen Qing Shu left and immersed herself in her work as an artifact restorer. She ran a successful studio, having taken out loans after university. Her mother had killed her abusive father five years ago, and her brother and grandmother turned against her. Shen Qing Shu sought legal help from Fu Si Yan. He secured a five-year sentence for her mother, and as payment, Shen Qing Shu entered a secret marriage with him. In eight days, her mother would be released from prison. Shen Qing Shu considered this marriage a transaction, but she had fallen in love with Fu Si Yan. After discovering the truth about Fu Si Yu, she felt used and resolute.

Late one night, Shen Qing Shu stayed overtime to finish an artifact restoration. Fu Si Yan brought Fu Si Yu to her studio, saying he needed her to look after the child for a few days while he went on a business trip because Zhou Yu Chu could not handle him alone. Shen Qing Shu agreed but told him to bring the divorce agreement when he returned. She hugged Fu Si Yu and took him into the rest room. The child was scared of being abandoned, and she comforted him, promising she would always be there for him. For the next two days, Fu Si Yu stayed with Shen Qing Shu at the studio while she worked. She completed the restoration. Her abdomen continued to ache uncomfortably. She remembered the pregnancy test in her bag and messaged her best friend who worked in obstetrics. Her friend urged her to test, noting her period was ten days late. Shen Qing Shu had indeed bought a test but forgotten about it due to busy work. As she considered retrieving it, her assistant Lu Xiaohan announced that someone was looking for her downstairs.
