{{SL|You|Ah!}}</br>

''Xia Yan disappears. A key is on the ground where he stood.''</br>

{{SL|You|...Xia Yan?}}</br>
{{SL|You|...?}}</br>
{{SL|You|What is this?}}</br>

(Pick it up)</br>

{{SL|You|It's Xia Yan's key! Did he drop it?}}</br>
{{SL|You|...?}}

{{SL|You|There's something up ahead.}}</br>

(Continue on)</br>

{{SL|You|It's locked? Right, the key!}}</br>

(Use the key)</br>

{{SL|You|The forest... It's gone...}}</br>
{{SL|You|Where am I now...?}}</br>

''It appears to be an art studio.''</br>

(Look around)</br>

{{SL|You|...!}}</br>

{{SL|You|...Aah!}}</br>
{{SL|You|Lu Jinghe? Where did he go?}}</br>
{{SL|You|What was he painting?}}</br>

(Examine)</br>

{{SL|You|Huh?}}</br>
{{SL|You|Only white paint? Is this a new art style?}}</br>
{{SL|You|Ah!}}</br>

{{SL|You|That's...}}</br>
{{SL|You|Zuo Ran!}}</br>
{{SL|You|He didn't hear me? Seems like none of them can...}}</br>
{{SL|You|He brought flowers. Is he visiting?}}</br>
{{SL|You|Could it be a relative of his?}}</br>

(Go closer)</br>

''Something cracks beneath you.''</br>

{{SL|You|Ah!}}</br>
{{SL|You|Gosh, it's just a branch.}}</br>

{{SL|???|Do not worry... I am here...}}</br>
{{SL|You|...}}</br>

''Sounds of clock ticking, and you open your eyes to a new location. Someone is leaning over you.''

{{SL|Mo Yi|It appears you were having a nightmare.}}</br>
{{SL|You|So, all of that was a dream...}}</br>
{{SL|Mo Yi|How does one discern dreams from reality?}}</br>
{{SL|Mo Yi|That was a dream, but this may not be reality.}}</br>
{{SL|You|Dreams...}}</br>

''You become dizzy and close your eyes.''</br>

{{SL|You|My head... So dizzy...}}</br>
{{SL|Mo Yi|The key to the chest of memories... Did you see the answer inside? Was it what you wanted?}}</br>

''You close your eyes into darkness.''</br>

{{SL|You|What are you talking about?}}</br>

''You open your eyes to see Mo Yi on the other side of the room, holding Lu Jinghe's painting of you.''</br>

{{SL|Mo Yi|Using a painting to conceal the truth? Perhaps you can fool the eyes, but not the heart.}}</br>

''Your vision blurs into darkness.''</br>

{{SL|You|Mo-Yisheng...}}</br>

''You open your eyes again and Mo Yi is holding a bouquet of hyacinths.''</br>

{{SL|Mo Yi|Ironic, is it not? Adhering to your convictions but betraying your heart... In the end, it was all for nought.}}</br>
{{SL|You|Stop! Stop talking! My head hurts so much!...}}</br>

''Your vision blurs, the room shakes, your ears are ringing.''</br>

{{SL|Mo Yi|Even if the world were against you... Would you still stand by your choice?}}</br>
{{SL|You|I...}}</br>
{{SL|Mo Yi|Shh. You need not answer at this time. Come, look at me... You are very sleepy right now...}}</br>

''Your vision blurs, and everything fades to black.''</br>

{{SL|You|I...}}</br>
{{SL|You|I'm exhausted...}}</br>

''You open your eyes and there is a pocket-watch swaying before you. It is 1:52:56.''</br>
''The seconds tick, the minute strikes. Your eyes close, and you fall into darkness again.''</br>

During 2030, Zuo Ran, her senior at Themis<ref name="Main Story 01-01">[[Main Story 01-01]]</ref> took note of her potential and after a discrete psychological evaluation,<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> offered her the opportunity to be partners.

MC and her parents contacted him early on, only to discover he was selected for a secret research project which prohibited outside contact, and eventually lost contact altogether.<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> Though Xia Yan eventually returned to [[Stellis City]],<ref name="Main Story 01-13">[[Main Story 01-13]]</ref> a surprise reunion occurred with MC during 2030 when he was hired as a Private Investigator in the [[Episode 1: The Hand That Feeds|same case she was investigating]]. Initially, MC was shocked that he was now a private investigator<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> as he had had gone to National Central University study Bioengineering.<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> She thinks he is a bit tanned compared to the past, and is confused how one can get a tan when working in a laboratory for the last few years.<ref name="Main Story 01-13">[[Main Story 01-13]]</ref> 

Despite the years apart, it is a happy reunion. When they were young, Xia Yan would ask for forgiveness by extending his hand to be held by MC. Hesitantly he extends his hand again, but she says there is nothing to forgive because he is here now and that is what matters. Xia Yan thinks MC hasn't changed at all since childhood, after all, she is "still the same... as when she was 16."<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> When he is updated about MC's parents, he was initially hesitant on discovering her parents were also recruited into a secret project during MC's university years, but relieved she and her parents do have some form of contact. He tells her to let her parents know he is back in Stellis City to take care of her. Though in the past, he was the troublemaker and got her into scoldings too. She used to think he was an excitable and impulsive youth but sees he has now grown into a mature young man, feeling sad that they both missed out on a lot of each other's lives.<ref name="Main Story 01-13">[[Main Story 01-13]]</ref>

Though there was eight years separation, the relationship between MC and Xia Yan is still very close where she can comfortably teases him about anything.<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 01-07">[[Main Story 01-07]]</ref> Their relationship has a lot of trust,<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> care, and attentiveness towards each other. Sometimes one cannot help but get small cuts and bruises and he would brush it aside, but she would worry and administer treatment. He in turn, is more worried about her getting hurt.<ref name="Main Story 01-07">[[Main Story 01-07]]</ref> Xia Yan trusts MC a lot<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> and is easily flustered by her.<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> He is also very attuned to MC's micro-expressions and always checks on her feelings. They often think on the same wavelength, even after many years apart<ref name="Main Story 01-07">[[Main Story 01-07]]</ref> to the point she can still see through his vague statements when he attempts to blur the truth of his exact return.<ref name="Main Story 01-13">[[Main Story 01-13]]</ref> 

Both MC and Xia Yan like detectives and puzzle solving, and in the past they nicknamed each other: MC was Watson to Xia Yan Holmes.<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> MC has the key to Xia Yan's parents home, received just before he left for the Capital, so that she could read his collection of Sherlock Holmes books whenever she wanted to. Xia Yan has also received a key during youth from MC that he cherishes and always wears on his person. It opens a locked box where the contents have have been unknown to MC since before they were 16. he kept the contents a secret from MC to keep her guessing.<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref>

Thinks MC is a bit skinny, though she's a foodie, and wants her to eat more.<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref> He would often ask to have a meal together before parting ways for the day.<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref>

===About Zuo Ran===
Lawyer Zuo Ran is very strict. [[Themis Law Firm]] with this senior lawyer has extremely high work standards.<ref name ="人物档案-左然"/> The media's evaluation of him is an emotionless defence machine. But there are many who aspire to become a lawyer as good as he is.<ref name ="人物档案-左然"/> He has staunch belief that a lawyer's judgement should not be influenced by feelings before the Court of Law.<ref name="Main Story 01-16">[[Main Story 01-16]]</ref> Young, promising, and handsome. There are many women who want to get to know Lawyer Zuo Ran. It is a pity he is used to being alone and does not enjoy personal contact with others except for work circumstances. Many of his clients are young women who want cross paths with him.<ref name ="人物档案-左然"/>

In [[Stellis City]], Lawyer Zuo Ran is a legend in the industry. He is one of the few elite lawyers with an expansive expertise and a win rate of 99%.<ref name ="人物档案-左然"/><ref name="Big Data Lab: Zuo Ran">[[Big Data Lab#Artem Wing]] | 左然</ref> He is an individual who is able to maintain absolute rationality and cool headed at all times, treating himself with such high standards akin to self abuse. It is no wonder he reaches these achievements.<ref name ="人物档案-左然"/> Little do they know, this is because Zuo Ran has grown used to suppressing his emotions and impulses. No one can even begin to imagine the kind of past he bears...<ref name="Character Profile - Artem Wing">HoYoverse: [https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100126 Character Profile - Artem Wing]</ref>


:''Previously, I had meticulously established rules for my life, but that was before. Everything in work and all routines were driven by what was measured as success by other people. I never considered deviation or change until... you appeared.'' 
:''You showed me new possibilities, beyond only reason- warmth, colour, and simplicity -- you captivated me. So much that I decided to break through the rules I had established to live life, to be someone who can hold up a part of the world so you can soar, and be warmth in your life.'' 
:''I had never really thought about it, but perhaps to me.. you are the one who can only be encountered but not sought for. But to give up so easily now, I would not be the Zuo Ran you know.''<ref name="左然个人PV | You Are My Themis">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/12515491 左然个人PV | You Are My Themis] | Zuo Ran PV: You are my Themis</ref><ref name="Artem Wing Character PV">HoYoverse: [https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100247 Artem Wing Character PV]</ref>

A graduate of [[Stellis University]] with a Doctorate in Law.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Zuo Ran">[[Big Data Lab#Artem Wing]] | 左然</ref> Zuo Ran comes from a family in Law where both parents are leaders in the field, but his outstanding abilities are his own.

Use of emotions at critical moments can shatter the opponent's defence.<ref name="Main Story 03-13">[[Main Story 03-13]]</ref> There are also instances he uses intimidation to confirm a person's nature and knowledge to determine if a witness or suspect is easy to manipulate.<ref name="Main Story 03-05">[[Main Story 03-05]]</ref>

Not likely in the law firm during the weekend.<ref name="Main Story 01-01">[[Main Story 01-01]]</ref>

Zuo Ran is MC's senior at [[Themis Law Firm]].<ref name="Main Story 01-01">[[Main Story 01-01]]</ref> He gives care and attention, taking the intuitive in offering assistance in her studies, organising review outlines.<ref name="Main Story 01-07">[[Main Story 01-07]]</ref> Noticing MC's reservations about her capability, he reassures her to be confident as only the best are accepted into Themis.<ref name="Artem wants to say...">[https://twitter.com/TearsofThemisEN/status/1397734374678880256 Artem wants to say...]</ref> While he thinks that MC is someone readily swayed by emotion, he praises her ability to cast that aside in the Court of Law as a professional lawyer.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 03-03">[[Main Story 03-03]]</ref> MC is visibly moved, so he is also careful and warns against complacency.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref>

After [[Celestine Taylor]]'s insistence to find a work partner to lessen work load and seeing potential in MC's capability<ref name="Main Story 01-16">[[Main Story 01-16]]</ref>, he sends her to Mo Yi for a discrete psychological evaluation as a candidate.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> Zuo Ran's secondary reason is to recruit MC into NXX Investigation Team, believing a new member may help lessen present bias of opinions within the current team.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref> He also believes NXX will give her more experience. After informing her about the existence of the special investigation unit, he ensures she considers before making a decision. Regardless of MC's decision and interest in NXX's X-NOTE cases, he reassures they will still be partners for Themis Law Firm related work and collaborate on regular cases.<ref name="Main Story 03-01">[[Main Story 03-01]]</ref>

Zuo Ran trusts MC a lot regarding work related matters, believing in her work ethics and personal integrity. He trusts her and gives her the choice to decide her own direction. When he first informed NXX investigation unit to MC, he was sure to tell her to take good time to consider before making a decision. MC in turn is flattered and careful. Thankful that Zuo Ran trusts her and considers it seriously to join NXX. She does not want to on whim or gratitude because his trust.<ref name="Main Story 03-01">[[Main Story 03-01]]</ref> Thereafter, he calls MC "我的搭档"|My Partner.<ref>[https://www.taptap.com/topic/11895920 左然生日快乐]</ref>

Towards MC, Zuo Ran is attentive and careful. At times, moments of rationality come apart when he believes MC may have been placed in an uncomfortable circumstance and he behaves uncharacteristically. He enjoys her company greatly and likes to learn new things about MC.<ref name="Main Story 02-02">[[Main Story 02-02]]</ref> In turn, he is pen to sharing information with her, including personal information such as his connections to previous clients to broaden her network.<ref name="Main Story 03-03">[[Main Story 03-03]]</ref> MC finds comfort in Zuo Ran's presence, finding it calming especially in moments when she feels emotional.<ref name="Main Story 03-11">[[Main Story 03-11]]</ref>

During MC's first criminal case trial, he returns to the city early to support her. He sees through her worries and anxieties of disgust in obtaining a key piece of evidence and gives her encouraging words she needed to hear. What she did was for justice and intention was not for invasion of privacy.<ref name="Main Story 02-27">[[Main Story 02-27]]</ref>

A man who has always had rigid structure in his life. On encountering MC, there is realisation of something more. His theme is Fate. It can be seen in his reoccurring lines.

After work Zuo Ran and at work Lawyer Zuo are completely different. He will go into the kitchen when he is in a good mood. When he has some free time, will watch movies or go out for a joyride.

A question for Truth was posed by [[Kiki Bennet]]: "Among people [within the Law Firm], is there someone you have interest in? Please say their name!" Very put on the spot, [[Celestine Taylor]] gives him the option to sing a Chinese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huangmei_opera Huangmei Opera] song 《夫妻雙雙把家還》(Husband and Wife Return Home) instead. MC attempts to buy time for Zuo Ran, but Celestine asks if MC was offering to sing too as the song is a duet. Zuo Ran immediately jumps to MC defence saying he'll sing- "don't bully MC". Initially, he purposely sings the wrong lyrics to end the game, but scolded by Celestine who is disbelief someone like High Standard Senior Lawyer Zuo Ran would get something wrong. MC speaks with Zuo Ran who gives a sheepish sigh and sings the song properly.<ref name="忒弥斯律所年会"/>

Huangmei operas are rural folk dance and music that have been around for centuries, and is one of the more famous and mainstream typing of Chinese Opera. This opera song tells a story of Dong Yong, a poor man, who sold himself as a slave for three years to bury his father who recently died. The seven fairy daughters of the Jade Emperor playing on the Magpie Bridge were peeping into the human world, when the youngest fell in love with Dong Yong and went to earth to marry him. To assist in buying out the man's three year slave contract down to 100 days, seventh fairy recruited sisters to help weave 10 silk brocades overnight for the husband and wife to return home. When the emperor found out, infuriated, he ordered the seventh sister to return home immediately by threatening Dong Yong's safety. She had no alternative except to leave, suffering regrets, for eternity. During Zuo Ran's rendition, he ends after the line "husband and wife return home."

Day after day, people of this world stage a constant play of joys and sorrows, but only you are different from the rest.</br>
During my voyage through the labyrinth of human hearts, the moment I met you, a rose bloomed in my heart.</br>
I believed everything was under my control and never would have thought to be unexpectedly 'reckoned' by you.</br>

===About Mo Yi===
If you believe the witness may be hiding something, [[Vyn Richter|Dr Mo]] may be the person to ask. Mo Yi is the country's top psychology expert and many universities reached out to him.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> After declining an olive branch from everyone, he returned to Stellis City to be a psychologist.<ref name ="人物档案-莫弈"/> Dr Mo has a very gentle temperament, but he is not what one may imagine as a weak scholar. He is very reliable in critical moments. Weakness of a person who is able to maintain a perfect disposition is unknown. Though Dr Mo is young, he is a distinguished visiting professor at [[Stellis University]].<ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref><ref name ="人物档案-莫弈"/> If he cannot be found in the [[Giannovyn Mental Health Research Center]], one may find him at Stellis University.<ref name ="人物档案-莫弈"/>

Are you are anxious about your secrets being seen through by a psychologist? Don't be afraid. Dr Mo has always appeared elegant and calm. Those who are calm, gentle, and humble will get along with him very well. Dr Mo is able to face any situation with ease and skill, giving those around him a sense of serenity, so that individuals involuntarily open their hearts to him and display their truest self. If one's heart has secrets, it most definitely will be discovered by him.<ref name ="人物档案-莫弈"/> Words on a document do not necessarily reflect reality. Dr Mo wishes to know a person's true heart.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TearsofThemisEN/status/1398459203988119552 Vyn wants to say...]</ref> However, as someone who had always observed the volatile human emotions from the outside, he never expected himself to become one with the same emotions.<ref name="Vyn Richter Character PV">[https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100248 Vyn Richter Character PV]</ref></p>


:''The human consciousness is a place of immeasurable depths. But through carelessness and micro-expressions, secrets from the bottom of the heart may be revealed. When I carefully observe myself in this way, what I suddenly discovered as the secret at the bottom of my heart-- was you.'' 
:''You are the first girl to ride the back of my horse, the first audience to my magic card tricks - previously, I had never used my cards like this. I am willing to block all dangers for you, even if it scars me. I also cannot help reveal my vulnerabilities to you, for your warmth and smile.'' 
:''All evidence point to one conclusion: the 'love at first sight' that I disdained and disbelieved has already occurred. It is you, who has changed me. My Rosa, you must take responsibility for me.''<ref name="莫弈个人PV | 你是我心底悄然绽放的秘密"/><ref name="Vyn Richter Character PV">[https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100248 Vyn Richter Character PV]</ref></p>


===Background===
A world renowned expert on psychology,<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref><ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref> Mo Yi is a young and genius psychologist with double Honorary Doctorates in Science and Pedagogy from the University of Svart, School of Psychology.

Mo Yi's original nationality is from Kingdom of Svart. For reasons unknown, he migrated to Stellis City in 2028 to be a naturalised citizen.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref><ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> Since 2028, he has focused on criminal psychology and published many academic papers.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref><ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> He has also presented lectures on criminal psychology to the police and considered as an external consultant. During his time studying criminal psychology, he has dealt with many cases and suspects<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> and greatly experienced in the flow of interrogation.<ref name="Main Story 02-11">[[Main Story 02-11]]</ref>

Many prestigious universities wanted him as a lecturer, but for reasons unkown, he refused all invitations and settled down in Stellis City.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> In 2028, Mo Yi and Lu Jinghan jointly co-founded the Giannovyn Mental Health Research Centre where he is the chef researcher.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref>

===Life, Philosophy, and Hobbies===
Searching for a needle in the ocean, is how Mo Yi describes what he often does. As in this world, there is nothing as deep and profound as the human heart, like the mysterious depths of the ocean. He enjoys exploring the secrets within one's heart to discover the subtleties.<ref name="Main Story 02-18">[[Main Story 02-18]]</ref> It is a habit for him to analyse human behaviour and its associations,<ref name="Main Story 02-10">[[Main Story 02-10]]</ref> and though he does not enjoy misleading others, he will deceive individuals to obtain a reaction or response.<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 02-19">[[Main Story 02-19]]</ref> This is useful during suspect questioning as he observes their reactions to discover weak points.<ref name="Main Story 02-10">[[Main Story 02-10]]</ref> Mo Yi is able to identify when an individual is lying through their micro-expressions and micro-reactions.<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref> Despite situations lacking physical evidence, Mo Yi is extremely confident in his psychological assessments.<ref name="Main Story 02-16">[[Main Story 02-16]]</ref> Though he works with and understands those who strongly believe in evidence, he feels it is lamentable that even if the way is known, rules and regulations act as shackles: "The road ahead is something that can be hoped for, but cannot be reached."<ref name="Main Story 02-15">[[Main Story 02-15]]</ref>

Cautious by nature, Mo Yi keeps suspicious individuals at a distance.<ref name="Main Story 02-10">[[Main Story 02-10]]</ref> 

He is very gentleman and cannot bear to let a lady look through the dustbin during investigation, offering to do it instead.<ref name="Main Story 02-18">[[Main Story 02-18]]</ref> 

Mo Yi believes a man's true charm comes not from his appearance but from his temperament and manner of speech,<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref> and his stance on love is mutual support and acceptance of each other.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref> Calm, graceful, and elegant, like his hobbies.<ref name ="人物档案-莫弈">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/6982679 人物档案-莫弈] | Character Archive: Mo Yi</ref> Mo Yi enjoys listening to classical music to relax.<ref name="莫弈·工作日行程">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/11018267 莫弈·工作日行程]</ref> He also enjoys making red wine in his spare time<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref> and familiar with high-end cognac.<ref name="Main Story 02-24">[[Main Story 02-24]]</ref>

At the end of the day, he records a work diary as habit to assess his own mental state from quality and tone of his voice.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref>

Mo Yi lives in the Education District.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Hemingway Heights">[[Big Data Lab#Hemingway Heights]] | 文华区</ref>

===Relationships===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
====MC====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
''Eyes of molten gold, he is waiting, writing the prologue of an encounter.''<ref name =countdown2">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/13996908 全平台公测倒计时，2天！] | Countdown to open beta: 2 days</ref>

As a world renowned expert in the field of psychology, MC has heard of Mo Yi before and he is someone whom MC has long wanted to meet.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> She admires him greatly and has the utmost respect for him.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref> She encounters an opportunity to meet him when Zuo Ran sends her to him for a psychological evaluation under the guise of delivering documents.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref>

After their first interaction, Mo Yi finds MC exceptional.<ref name="Main Story 02-01">[[Main Story 02-01]]</ref> Then after an [[Episode 2: The Unbearable Love|investigation]] together with MC, Mo Yi determines she far exceeds his expectations. She has many desirable attributes: courage to break free, discerning eye for detail, a compassionate heart, yet able to maintain rationality. Previously, he had reflected on collaborating with NXX as independence would offer more freedom, but now all his doubts are fading as she joins. He is thankful that he decided to stay.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref>

During their initial meeting, Mo Yi is in his study room stacking a tower of Ace of Heart cards. He requests MC to remove a card from the card tower while maintaining its structural integrity. MC notes it can theoretically be done, but she would only topple it. Mo Yi notes her judgement was correct, asking "If you could foresee the outcome, would you [still make the same choice]?" Expecting a refusal, he is surprised that MC would still try. Her answer tied to Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Emperor - The belief the only constant in the world is change. Therefore, regardless of knowing what could happen, the slightest change in repeating a scenario with even the slightest deviations could result in a different outcome. MC has the belief that we shape our own outcomes -- upon hearing this response, Mo Yi is shaken for a moment as it's the best answer he has heard. He tells MC he finds her exceptional, and hopes even if the world is against her that she would still stand by her decision.<ref name="Main Story 02-01">[[Main Story 02-01]]</ref>

After the initial conversation, Mo Yi is extremely warm and forward towards MC. He likens MC to a rare wild rose (蔷薇, Qiángwēi), believing that through trials and tribulations will her spirit and resilience become more brilliant. When MC expresses interest in discussing criminal psychology, Mo Yi tells her he is often at the psychology research institute. For her, no appointment is required if assistance is required. Then promptly requests if she has interest in arts to visit the Art Gallery at [[Stellis University]] in the coming weekend.<ref name="Main Story 02-02">[[Main Story 02-02]]</ref>

Although Mo Yi's personality is extremely warm and forward towards MC, to others, he is not so cordial. When MC accepts to meet him outside of work, there is a chance encounter with a student of his, Lu Jinghe, whom he openly expresses his displeasure by likening his student as a child who likes to follow others.<ref name="Main Story 02-06">[[Main Story 02-06]]</ref>

Mo Yi's habit of analysing human behaviour and its associations also appears with MC.<ref name="Main Story 02-10">[[Main Story 02-10]]</ref> Though he does not enjoy misleading others, he asks MC hypothetical to obtain a reaction or response.<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref> When MC expresses her interest in learning criminal psychology from him, he inquires and observes her expression: he does not want to teach her as he does not want to think of her as a student. (EN: "I do not want you to regard me as your professor.")<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref>

While MC wants to learn from Mo Yi about psychology, he too, encounters and is amazed at new directions and experiences with her. He comes to realise there are more ways to see the world and situations, and more ways to utilise certain social groups even if he had previously scorned them in the past.<ref name="Main Story 02-15">[[Main Story 02-15]]</ref>

Mo Yi enjoys a degree of mysteriousness around MC as he believes it adds to his charm.<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref> He is extremely attentive to her comfort and will insist resting.<ref name="Main Story 02-16">[[Main Story 02-16]]</ref> Though Mo Yi appears cool, calm, and collected, the first time MC notices Mo Yi break demeanour and panic is during their first investigation together. MC had lost her balance while inspecting broken glass and he had grabbed her in panic.<ref name="Main Story 02-13">[[Main Story 02-13]]</ref>

Mo Yi's theme of love is Love at First Sight. It can be seen in how was extremely receptive towards MC and immediately planned for their next meeting in the following weekend after their first encounter.<ref name="Main Story 02-02">[[Main Story 02-02]]</ref>

*Points of interest:
**[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BF%83%E7%90%86%E5%AD%B8%E5%AE%B6 心理学家] (A scholar who studies any branch of psychology; psychologist) is translated as psychologist.
**[https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%BF%83%E7%90%86%E5%8C%BB%E7%94%9F/1311199 心理医生] (A psychologist who treats patients) is localised as psychiatrist. This is mistranslated as psychiatrist in Chinese is [https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%B2%BE%E7%A5%9E%E7%97%85%E5%8C%BB%E7%94%9F/3038637 精神科医生].
*Nuanced explanations:
**When Zuo Ran mentioned Mo Yi as a 心理学家 (scholar who studies psychology), it is definitive term that the individual is of the psychology profession (for anything related to psychology).
**先生 (Xiānshēng) is the default polite title for men. It is also a term for men which may mean mister, teacher, or doctor (Chinese is context heavy, so the term depends on use).
***It is not an insult to use 先生. Promotional Birthday media every year has used 莫弈先生 (Mo Yi-Xiānshēng).<ref name ="Reciprocal Heart promo">[https://www.taptap.cn/topic/14986180 莫逆于心] | Reciprocal Heart</ref><ref name ="Tenderly Lit Wishes promo">[https://www.taptap.cn/topic/19251634 沐光偕愿] | Tenderly Lit Wishes</ref><ref name ="Oath to Joy promo">[https://weibo.com/7072153506/M5ZSotV7m 岁许佳期] | Oath to Joy</ref>
**Mo Yi gives MC a more precise term for his profession: 心理医生 (psychologist, but one who sees patients), where there is more specificity that he meets with clients as a psychologist, therefore the title 医生 "doctor" may be used. 
***It may be of note he is fine with his full name: 'Mo Yi' with titles dropped or another title: 'Mo-Yisheng/Dr Mo'. There is no insistence on title usage though they are only acquaintances at this time.
***In Chinese, one who studies and treats patient in any health capacity will use the title 医生 (Yīshēng; Doctor). The term is more general use compared to English and not only for medical doctors. Those who have earned a doctorate are titled 博士 (Bóshì); there is no formal title for those with honorary doctorates.
***医生 as Doctor title has been kept for English localisation.
**A more ideal translation ought to have been: "'Psychologist' is not wholly correct./To be precise, I am a Clinical Psychologist."
**It may be of note that diaspora Chinese use '心理医生' for both psychologist and psychiatrist, resulting in confusion for two very different professions. In addition, much like rest of the world, Chinese who do not have higher education or awareness also use '心理医生' for both psychologist (心理医生) and psychiatrist (精神科医生) as a blanket term for doctors for mental illness. This is because there is extreme public stigma and negative association with mental health in general in China, thus the general ignorance of mental health and related professionals by members of the public. However, we do see the CN term for psychiatry (精神科) instead of the blanket term for psychology (心理) in department information in CN Big Data. So it can be concluded the writers know to distinguish the terms between psychologist and psychiatrist, but EN localisation has not.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
*My Rosa/Rose
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Mo Yi calls MC "我的薔薇" ("My Rosa") which has been localised in English as "My Rose." While the term 'rose' is broad in English encompassing multiple types of roses inciting confusion -barring scientific names, all types of roses are called "rose" in European languages (in Latin, Rosa is Rose)- Chinese is more specific. In consideration of the more broad use term for the various types of roses, 薔薇 (qiángwēi) is the wild rose, rosa, while 玫瑰 (méiguī) is rose, but the cultivated/modern rose.

When we consider that Mo Yi says 薔薇 (Rosa) rather than 玫瑰 (Rose), English localisation of MC's code name (薔薇) to Rosa instead of than Rose, and Mo Yi's comment of giving MC space to grow, it is more accurate that Mo Yi means to say "My Rosa" which is also the same as MC's NXX codename. 

One could say [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_rose_by_any_other_name_would_smell_as_sweet 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet'] as localisation is all over the place. And it is especially prudent to ignore Mo Yi's words of growing roses in a Petri dish - an impossibility he should know from his garden research. Roses require deep roots.

<p>'''To My Princess'''</br>
I never cared about all sorts of prejudiced labels stuck on by other people, I only care about your opinion.</br>
It is because I understand that a sincere and genuine heart is the most precious treasure of all.</br>
Like a proud cat facing someone who truly cares for me, only then will I reveal the side of my true self.</br>
But also like a stubborn cat, I will only recognise one person, forever never letting go. Therefore, you best be prepared—-</br>
''”My Lovely Princess.”''<ref name="陆景和个人PV | 致我的小公主">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/13250841 陆景和个人PV | 致我的小公主] | Lu Jinghe PV: To My Little Princess</ref><ref name="Marius von Hagen Character PV">HoYoverse: [https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100418 Marius von Hagen Character PV]</ref>

===About Lu Jinghe===
There is a lot of media news about [[Marius von Hagen|Lu Jinghe]], his information is no secret. As the heir of a [[Pax Group|conglomerate]], everything he does is exposed by the paparazzi or media, and often headlined. Among the citizens of [[Stellis City]], he is extremely popular. But excessive popularity is not always good as paparazzi often like to make explosive allegations while news reports him as a frivolous and rebellious young master. The outside world calls into question of whether or not Lu Jinghe has the ability to inherit such a large family business.<ref name ="人物档案-陆景和"/> But the head of [[Pax Group]] and Lu Family does not comment, resulting in various speculations in public opinion.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref>

It is difficult to understand this second young master. The daily inconvenient demands Lu Jinghe must deal with is unimaginable. The public and secret battles against the top executives of the family conglomerate is not for the faint of heart. Moreover, he dislikes hypocritical social rules and refuses to give face to those who flatter and fawn. Perhaps instead of inheriting the family business, he would rather be free and unconstrained in creating art. Lu Jinghe has completed an undergraduate course majoring in oil painting at a world famous academy and presently studying in the art department of [[Stellis University]]. One may think this kind of young master is ignorant and incompetent, but Lu Jinghe's paintings are absolutely amazing. If one has the chance, it is highly recommended to check out his exhibitions.<ref name ="人物档案-陆景和"/>

If one doesn't see news or photos of Lu Jinghe but meets him on the streets, one may not necessarily recognise him. Lu family's second master's usual dressing appears like an ordinary person, rarely wearing luxury brands. Most of the time, he wears unbranded clothes. As a young man who only recently reached 20s... Regardless of the burdens and responsibly being heir to the family's group and being a gifted and talented artist, only before those he is close to, will he express his childish side.<ref name ="人物档案-陆景和"/>


:''I am this planet's king, under the worshipful gaze of my subjects, even though I'm just a cat. You are probably wondering why humans would worship a cat? Haha~ The reason is simple, because in their eyes I am not a cat, but a symbol of wealth and power. Originally, I thought all of humanity was greedy and boring, but then... I met her.''
:''She is a person who really understands cats, indulging childishness and tolerating wilfulness. She is willing to go on adventures with me, and in her own way protect me with sincerity. Of course, there are times when she loses her temper with me, but the sight is also like a haughty cat, charming me. Ah~ My little princess, how I wish to have her to myself, so that in her eyes there is only me and no one else. Mmm.. say, should I show her my true self? It's just like the fairy tales: with a light kiss the prince and princess seal their eternal bond.''
:''--- Ah! I heard you. You said 'yes', right!? Then from now on, we are the only one for each other. Don't play dumb, you know I'm talking about you, 'My Lovely Princess'.''<ref name="陆景和个人PV | 致我的小公主">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/13250841 陆景和个人PV | 致我的小公主] | Lu Jinghe PV: To My Little Princess</ref><ref name="Marius von Hagen Character PV">HoYoverse: [https://tot.hoyoverse.com/en/information/all/detail/100418 Marius von Hagen Character PV]</ref>


===Background===
As a son from the most prominent family in the country, Lu Jinghe who received elite education in childhood has always been extremely passionate about art and oil painting.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Yuanxi">[[Big Data Lab#Austin von Hagen]] | 陆元希</ref><ref name="陆景和·工作日行程">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/10831124 陆景和·工作日行程] | Lu Jinghe workday schedule</ref> and before the age of 18, was admitted into one of the world's top art academies, Florence Academy of Art, to major in oil painting.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref> In 2029, Lu Jinghe completed his undergraduate studies in advance and obtained a Bachelor in Arts with Honours. When his older brother, Lu Jinghan, went on a confidential business trip,<ref name="Big Data Lab: Pax Group">[[Big Data Lab#Pax Group]] | 和印集团</ref> he returned to [[Stellis City]] to take over as Acting-President of [[Pax Group]].<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref><ref name="Main Story 02-06">[[Main Story 02-06]]</ref> Though he took up office, he continues to pursue art. In 2030, Lu Jinghe enrolled into Stellis University School of Art after passing the Spring Semester postgraduate entrance examination.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref>

Lu Jinghe is one of the wealthiest people alive with no criminal record. However, he was implicated in a [[Episode 2: The Unbearable Love|homicide case]] when he attended a business banquet in 2030<ref name="Main Story 02-06">[[Main Story 02-06]]</ref> and had no alibi as he left for his art studio.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> Lu Jinghe was willingly apprehended as a possible key suspect without proper procedure due to the immediate media pressure,<ref name="Main Story 02-15">[[Main Story 02-15]]</ref> displaying that Pax Group and Lu family, while extremely affluent, would never use money to tip the scales of justice.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> Growing up under media attention, he is knowledgeable about the law and media manipulation and how to protect reputation.<ref name="Main Story 02-23">[[Main Story 02-23]]</ref> He cares less about affecting company stock value and more frustrated with company board members.<ref name="Main Story 02-23">[[Main Story 02-23]]</ref> It was later revealed he was framed by a Pax Group employee, and he was acquitted of all charges.<ref name="NXX-New002">NXX-OS >Case Files >Other >NXX-New002 Murder of Estelle Marino, CEO of Mode de Vénus</ref>

Lu Jinghe has always been honest about his feelings and smartly avoids scandals. He chooses to remain silent, ignoring irrelevant questions in face of the media.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref> But it is impossible to prevent candids photos of celebrities, and some of his personal photos have surfaced on the internet.<ref name="NXX-OS Jen Mendoza">NXX-OS >Personnel Files >General >Jen Mendoza</ref> After he was implicated in a homicide case, his name also started appearing in Judicial Journals.<ref name="NXX-New002">NXX-OS >Case Files >Other >NXX-New002 Murder of Estelle Marino, CEO of Mode de Vénus</ref>

Regarding business matters, Lu Jinghe refuses to support companies that carry out immoral actions and deception.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> A Pax Capital manager was removed from his position for underhanded nepotism to fund an immoral business.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> [[Estelle Marino]], CEO of Mode de Vénus, noted his business skills were nothing out of the ordinary<ref name="Main Story 02-11">[[Main Story 02-11]]</ref> after baiting Pax Fashion & Design into false talks of acquisition of her company, hyping media attention to boost net worth and popularity to the forefront of the industry.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 02-27">[[Main Story 02-27]]</ref>

Lu Jinghe and MC's first encounter was when they bumped into one another at [[Stellis University]] during Summer of 2030.<ref name =countdown1">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/14019233 全平台公测倒计时，1天！] | Countdown to open beta: 1 day</ref> He cautions her to look where she's going, calling her Little Miss|小姐姐 (Xiǎo Jiějiě). He picks up her dropped badge and realises she is from [[Themis Law Firm]] as her recent [[Episode 1: The Hand That Feeds|case]] was in the news. Lu Jinghe was careful in assistance, holding MC gently after their accident and requesting her to double check for no injuries before letting go. Unfortunately for him, MC realised his sweaty and dishevelled appearance that he must've run into her instead. Playfully, he admits he thought he almost got away with it. When MC requests his student ID, he teasingly dangles it before her. Noticing MC's pout, with a mischievous smile he teases if she's enchanted into silence from his good looks. She is flabbergasted and only realises his identity as Acting-President of [[Pax Group]] when a [[Vyn Richter|mutual acquaintance]] called his name.<ref name="Main Story 02-04">[[Main Story 02-04]]</ref>

Soon after their initial meeting, Lu Jinghe was apprehended as a possible key suspect [[Episode 2: The Unbearable Love|in a homicide case]] without proper procedures due to pressure from media.<ref name="Main Story 02-15">[[Main Story 02-15]]</ref> He knows he is innocent and is calm about the matter, believing that justice will be found.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> Lu Jinghe finds MC interesting and believes she will discover the truth and hires her as his defence attorney, after she agrees in light banter.<ref name="Main Story 02-06">[[Main Story 02-06]]</ref> While this is ongoing, he is also extremely attentive. He sends his [[Vincent Kim|personal assistant]] to gift MC a pair of flat shoes, as she would be tired after a long day of moving around.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> As the investigation becomes increasingly serious with more media attention, he is willing whatever the result to protect MC as he recruited her into the case. He does not want her credibility attacked. MC in turn, is moved in his faith and his extremes to protect her at the cost of his own reputation. While Lu Jinghe is often silent and ignores media, when her ability was questioned, he immediately threatens them against slander. He then uses himself as bait to lure media away so that she may exit the scene.<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref> Slowly, she sees him not as a celebrity, but maybe half a friend after this exchange.<ref name="Main Story 02-23">[[Main Story 02-23]]</ref> 

Lu Jinghe knows well what the public thinks of him, but he wishes that MC will see him for who he really is, and curious to know her thoughts after knowing him.<ref>Twitter: [https://twitter.com/TearsofThemisEN/status/1399184003115126785 Marius wants to say...]</ref> For MC's assistance in investigation and trial, Lu Jinghe offers her a painting. While it is his first time offering a painting to anybody, she refuses thinking it's too much. He playfully teases maybe he should seduce her with his handsome looks and endless wealth instead.<ref name="Main Story 02-08">[[Main Story 02-08]]</ref> He also jokes that perhaps he isn't enough of a hedonistic son from wealthy parents as he isn't embroiled in enough scandals<ref name="Main Story 02-28">[[Main Story 02-28]]</ref> when she defended him against fake media accusations.<ref name="Main Story 02-27">[[Main Story 02-27]]</ref>

Vernon Green is the founder and owner of Penny's Comfort Foods, a high-end private restaurant, opened in memory of his late wife and son. In 2003, Peter, the son of Vernon and his wife Penny, was accepted into his dream school, [[Stellis University]]. Tragically, he passed away in an accident during a celebratory trip. To cope with their grief, Vernon and Penny started helping under-privileged students so that Peter's dream of university could be lived through others and their hard work. Unfortunately, Penny never recovered from the loss of their son and passed away soon after in 2005.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref><ref name=“Episode 01-12”>[[Main Story 01-12]]</ref>

Penny was a passionate gourmet. Among Vernon's book collection are recipe books published over 30 years ago in French, Russian, Japanese, Thai, and other languages.<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref> Vernon quit his job to open Penny Comfort Food so that everyone could enjoy food she enjoyed.<ref name=“Episode 01-12”>[[Main Story 01-12]]</ref> The first floor of his home in Central Business District was renovated into a restaurant<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> while second floor remained as his living space.<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> The entrance is scented by camellias he had planted for his late wife.<ref name="Main Story 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> Majority of profit from the restaurant is used to support under-privileged students.<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref> Many students they previously sponsored are now financially independent and live very good lives.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref>

During May of 2030, an incident occurred at Penny's Comfort Foods where six customers suffered from mild food poisoning after ingesting Seafood Tofu Soup. Vernon initially wanted to settle in private. However, when people attempted to extort him for large sums of money, he refused, even when they hired lawyers from [[Baldr Legal Office]] to file a class-action lawsuit.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref> Vernon, already in poor health,<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> was angered and suffered from a heart attack.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref> The behaviour of Baldr lawyers left such a bad impression, he became distrustful of lawyers in general and refused to hire any.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref> He pretended to be ill to avoid questions during an investigation.<ref name="Main Story 01-09">[[Main Story 01-09]]</ref>

It was later revealed that Vernon already knew [[Pedro Brooks]], a former sponsored student<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref>, was the one who poisoned customers since a Food Safety Bureau inspection<ref name=“Episode 01-12”>[[Main Story 01-12]]</ref> but he deliberately shielded the suspect.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 01-09">[[Main Story 01-09]]</ref><ref name="Main Story 01-12">[[Main Story 01-12]]</ref> He could not bear to ruin Pedro's life, due to the striking resemblance in appearance and personality to the son he had lost. Vernon did not actually care about lawyers, he only did not want Pedro to go to jail because he blames himself for pushing Pedro into walking a bad path. Vernon wanted to continue helping Pedro, believing DeliCart was the one that made him poison the water. He understood that Pedro has a great fear of poverty and purchased membership of $300 a month as support in 2029 March.<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref> Pedro kept pushing for membership upgrade to $4500 a month, but it was too expensive and Vernon could not afford it.<ref name=“Episode 01-12”>[[Main Story 01-12]]</ref> Though DeliCart continued to review bomb Penny's Comfort Foods, Vernon continued to pay the $300 membership fees.<ref name="Main Story 01-10">[[Main Story 01-10]]</ref> With the poison incident at Penny's Comfort Foods, Pedro came again to offer DeliCart Premium PR Services.<ref name="Main Story 01-03">[[Main Story 01-03]]</ref>

Eventually, Vernon was heartbroken after seeing Pedro's true colours come to light: trying to push more sales after staging the incident, destroying evidence, and hurtful words. Vernon agreed to hire MC as his defence lawyer to cut ties.<ref name="Main Story 01-13">[[Main Story 01-13]]</ref> He hands over key evidence that Pedro had tampered with the spring water dispenser.<ref name="Main Story 01-14">[[Main Story 01-14]]</ref> He can only hope that Pedro will eventually turn a new leaf.<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref>

Vernon's heart issue is chronic<ref name="Main Story 01-06">[[Main Story 01-06]]</ref> and had been taking large doses of Heirson effervescent packets, far exceeding the recommended daily dosage. MC thinks it might only work as a placebo effort for him. Xia Yan cautions the side effects may be harmful.<ref name="Main Story 01-07">[[Main Story 01-07]]</ref> Vernon has since has been diagnosed with depression,<ref name="Main Story 01-17">[[Main Story 01-17]]</ref> the exact cause unknown.<ref name="NXX-OS Vernon Green">NXX-OS >Personnel Files >General >Vernon Green</ref> It was noted by Mo Yi that Vernon's actions towards Pedro were an example of transference<ref name="NXX-New001">NXX-OS >Case Files >Other >NXX-New001 Food Poisoning, Penny's Comfort Foods</ref> where feelings towards his son was redirected to another person.

*First referenced: [[Main Story 01-01]]

From difficult establishment, to today's fame throughout the city, the achievements of Themis Law Firm are inextricably linked to the achievements of Lawyer Zuo Ran. During 2024 when Themis Law Firm was first established,<ref name="Big Data Lab: Themis Law Firm">[[Big Data Lab#Themis Law Firm]] | 忒弥斯律师事务所</ref> many people thought [[Celestine Taylor]] was too young and the firm would not be around for long. But when she convinced Zuo Ran to join as a Senior Partner in 2026, all doubts disappeared.<ref name="忒弥斯律师事务所">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/7682963 忒弥斯律师事务所] | Themis Law Firm</ref><ref name="Big Data Lab: Zuo Ran">[[Big Data Lab#Artem Wing]] | 左然</ref><ref name="Themis Law Firm">Twitter: [https://twitter.com/TearsofThemisEN/status/1385231967541678085 Themis Law Firm]</ref>

For several years, Themis has done very well and has become one of Stellis City's most famous law firms. Initially, Themis Law Firm only took on commercial disputes, but after Zuo Ran joined, the scope significantly expanded and the firm quickly rose in industry ranking. When Themis Law firm was founded, the "Themis Public Welfare Fund" was also established to provide free legal aid and pro bono to individuals unable to afford rights protection or litigation costs. Themis' positive reputation is not unrelated to the effective operation of this fund.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Themis Law Firm">[[Big Data Lab#Themis Law Firm]] | 忒弥斯律师事务所</ref> 

The Law Firm has rented a two-story building in City Centre.<ref name="忒弥斯律师事务所"/> There is only one headquarters with no branches. As the second largest law firm in Stellis City after [[Baldr Legal Office]], it is the goal and the dream of many young lawyers in the city, country even, to work at there.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Themis Law Firm">[[Big Data Lab#Themis Law Firm]] | 忒弥斯律师事务所</ref> But those who are able to pass Queen of Commercial Law Celestine, and industry legend Zuo Ran's double exam, are few.<ref name="忒弥斯律师事务所"/>

**Victim: Simon Bloodworth. Head of Heirson Health Products' material division.
**Around June-July of 2030, Simon disappeared. He was suspected of jumping into the ocean but his body was never found. His death was ruled as suicide due to the presence of a suicide note at his home. He was believed to have committed suicide after his thefts were exposed. The theft was reselling controlled substances that Heirson uses to produce pharmaceuticals. His client was Gordon Grant, the owner of a popular chain pharmacy in the city. He met his client prior to the suicide.
**Big Data analysis on his daily life demonstrated no signs of suicidal intent. The anomaly: theft is generally not a crime that forces suicide. The case was tagged as suspicious.<ref name="Main Story 03-01">[[Main Story 03-01]]</ref>

=====Language Notes=====
*CN: There are a few variations for 'Florence' in Chinese:
**佛罗伦萨 (Fóluólúnsà) is closer to English pronunciation of Florence. The official and proper Chinese name for real location Florence.
**翡冷翠 (Fěilěngcuì) is closer to Italian pronunciation, Firenze. First coined by the poet 徐志摩|Xú Zhìmó in 《翡冷翠的一夜》|A Night in Florence, the name is loan-sounds in addition to meaning cool emerald, or jade-like. Similar to how the marble work of churches there embellishes the city in emerald. The reason this name is not used officially is because it violates the Principle of Foreign Transliteration by having meaning. But in fictional work, 翡冷翠 is beautifully poetic and often used.

==Assumptions and notes==
<div id="Beginning of Tears of Themis"></div>

*Episode 1 begins in 2030.
**Big Data: Lu Jinghe was admitted into Stellis University as a graduate student in 2030.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref>
**Big Data: Ricardo is a new modelling talent and the winner of the 2030 Stellis Modelling Competition.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Ricardo Miller">[[Big Data Lab#Ricardo Miller]] | 王立翎</ref>

**Incident of a case occurred "On Friday, the third of this month"<ref name="Main Story 01-16">[[Main Story 01-16]]</ref>.
**MC and Lu Jinghe's encounter is during Summer (June - August).<ref name =countdown1">[https://www.taptap.com/topic/14019233 全平台公测倒计时，1天！] | Countdown to open beta: 1 day</ref>
*2030 calendar dates align as 1st of November is a Friday (date and week day is noted in Xia Yan's first birthday event Tablet UI date).
**The only Friday that is 3rd of the month<ref name="Main Story 01-16">[[Main Story 01-16]]</ref> in 2030, is in May.

*Assume the male leads to be their promotional age in 2030. Each year celebrated with them is an additional year to their age.<ref name="Big Data Lab: Xia Yan">[[Big Data Lab#Luke Pearce]] | 夏彦</ref><ref name="Big Data Lab: Zuo Ran">[[Big Data Lab#Artem Wing]] | 左然</ref><ref name="Big Data Lab: Mo Yi">[[Big Data Lab#Vyn Richter]] | 莫弈</ref><ref name="Big Data Lab: Lu Jinghe">[[Big Data Lab#Marius von Hagen]] | 陆景和</ref> 
**Artbook counts notable age milestones as age for x year.
**Assume for NPCs, the noted age in NXX-OS is the age for the year the event approximates if alive, or age when they died.

*The natural seasons and school semesters follow Northern Hemisphere cycle.<ref>[https://www.taptap.com/topic/14797521 未名开学福利] | School Starting Welfare</ref> 
**Xia Yan's birthday (December) stories and events are during snow season in illustrations.

*''Approximate'' timing: Estimated with multiple references within story and other stories.
*''Assumed'' timing: Estimated with references between stories due to lack references in-story.
**[[Luke "Timely Rescue"]] can be read any time after reunion, [[Luke "Inner Sanctum"]] before [[Luke "Moment of Danger"]].
**Mo Yi can be loosely read in any order before or just after [[Vyn's Story: Blossom Chapter 1]], but recommended as {{Tooltip|[[Vyn "Mercury in Retrograde"]]|Made up for missed E2 gallery visit; cookies}}, {{Tooltip|[[Vyn "False Tears"]]|MC learns of MY hobbies}}, {{Tooltip|[[Vyn "Mended Heart"]]|Pondering feelings}}, then {{Tooltip|[[Vyn "Lingering Warmth"]]|Jealousy developments as MY falls more and more; starts gifting; MC is over for new teasets and tea is a thing; talks more about hobbies}}.
**Zuo Ran has minor details in additional to seasonal timings and best in order of [[Artem's Story: Blossom Chapter 1]], [[Artem "Sparks"]], [[Episode 3: The Weight of a Soul]], [[Artem "In Sickness or in Health"]], [[Artem "Autumn Dreams"]], [[Artem "Thin Veil"]], [[Episode 5: Sins of Cynicism (Part 3)]], [[Artem "Focus Fire"]].
***[[Vyn "Gentleman's Game"]] holds inconsistencies to main story-line, and best read as standalone for background lore for this male lead.
**[[Marius' Story: Blossom Chapter 1]] before (any order) [[Marius "Dream of Thebes"]], [[Marius "Overtone"]], [[Marius "Child at Heart"]], and [[Marius "A Dance on the Clouds"]].

*2006 - 2007
**[[Main Character]] was born; "wasn't born 25 years ago"<ref name="Main Story 03-16">[[Main Story 03-16]]</ref>
***Unknown if [[Luke Pearce|Xia Yan]] or MC is older.
***No mention of birthday around reunion; can assume -/+ month out of birthday timing.
***
***MC says "Your horoscope sign," indicating she may not be Sagittarius. (XY second birthday)

==Conflicts==
*General conflicts: the order will be Artbook, original text, then localised text.
*Main story is likely to have a different timeline to all other events (birthday, one-time events, mini events, etc). Time passing within and between each Episode is often vague.
*There are five distinct timelines for all Tears of Themis Stories and events. One for each of the male leads' personal stories and their respective events, and main story line. 
*There are card and event stories cross over into main story. It is likely that when reference occurs from male lead card story into main story, there is an alternative and neutral event that occurred within the main story timeline, with that male lead.
