Fangyuan, a young man whose name means being flexible in dealing with things, has been labeled as "thorny" because of his rebellious and unruly character. He has been instinctively rebellious against the established rules of the world since he was a child, and firmly believes that he can break the rules and create a different world. When she first entered the society, Fangyuan repeatedly encountered obstacles in various low-level jobs. When she was working as a delivery boy, she was restricted from taking orders because she protested against the harsh regulations of the platform. She was fired from the factory assembly line because she questioned the inefficiency of the production model. With his self-taught business acumen and keen sense of emerging things, Fangyuan unexpectedly won the favor of an emerging Internet company as a project director. However, his "prickly" nature remained unchanged, and he drastically reformed the project process, touching the interests of all parties, and was eventually pushed out. After a setback in his career, Fangyuan entered a government department by chance to work at the grassroots level. He boldly exposed the formalism style and waste of resources within the department. Although he won the recognition of some people, he was also isolated and suppressed by more people, and his career development reached a deadlock.
