A top attorney rejects the star recruit whose lineage traces back to the couple who ruined her grandmother's life.
Episode 1–4English
The narrator escaped a childhood in the isolated backwoods thanks to the sacrifices of her mother and grandmother. She now holds a partnership at a prestigious law firm, a position earned through generations of struggle. Her grandmother spent decades enduring public scorn after the narrator's grandfather stole her name and a life-changing opportunity before abandoning her for another woman.
The stolen identity allowed the grandfather and his new partner to build celebrated careers — one as a respected law professor lecturing on justice, the other as a celebrated artist preaching integrity. During a recruitment interview, the narrator recognizes the applicant's family name and realizes he is their grandson. She coldly informs the accomplished young man that he has not been selected, initiating a personal retaliation against the lineage that profited from her family's ruin.
