Lily was sexually harmed by her stepfather during her childhood but never told anyone, not even her mother. She has been living a desolate life, finding amusement in posting malicious comments online.
One day, Lily meets an erotica fiction writer named Mae online, and with her encouragement, she decides to continue pursuing the case. However, after consulting a lawyer, she becomes disheartened by the judicial process.
Feeling helpless, Lily posts her accusation online but gains little attention. In order to help, Mae attached a link to Lily’s post at the end of a sexually explicit chapter of her story. The post quickly went viral and was shot to the trending list.
The trending post catches the attention of the authorities. As the attention grow, Mae’s fan fiction containing sexually explicit chapters on foreign websites was reported, and she now faces a hefty fine and even the risk of imprisonment.
While Mae is on trial, the desperate and angry Lily, knowing that the lack of evidence would prevent the case from being taken to court, still decides to report the crime to the police. During the process, she provides evidence by recounting the extremely clear and brutal details of the events.
