Summary
Li Xuelian (Fan Bing Bing) and her husband stage a fake divorce to secure a second apartment in the city reserved by the government for single people. But when her husband remarries six months later-as agreed-but to a different woman, a furious Li files a lawsuit with the county court. Losing her case only makes Li more determined to take her fight to the highest levels of government in Beijing. With her reputation destroyed and her grievances unresolved, Li must navigate the labyrinth of a bureaucracy whose officials would rather see her fail.
