Walking the Edge of an Independent Kingdom

Jiang Tao and the others were hooked on video games from childhood. Thanks to their families' means, they got into top classes in middle and high school, but they couldn't pull themselves away from gaming and failed to get into the universities they wanted. Their families then sent them abroad to study. They returned with foreign degrees, but were hardly impressive success stories. After their family circumstances changed, they had no choice but to join the ranks of food-delivery and courier riders. His mother got out of prison, and he was lucky to find a little stash of money. He used it to buy a haunted house. He met a kindred spirit, Zou Jingbo, and got to know Zeng Xiang while delivering food. His ex-girlfriend, Qu Zhao, returned to China. Through Zou Jingbo's ex-girlfriend, Xia Li, he met gaming mogul Zhuang Heng, whose wife, Lu Xin, ran Meiyu Talent and Modeling Agency. After getting back together with Qu Zhao, Jiang Tao won Zhuang Heng's trust and was appointed to manage Dream Peak Training School. Qu Zhao opened Zhaojun Fitness Center. Together, they served the mainland division of an international esports tournament. Everyone walked along the edge of their own little kingdoms, carving out paths beyond the system and living lives outside it. Unable to resist temptation, Jiang Tao plunged into the stock market, setting himself on a path to ruin.
