Su Wan: 25-27 years old, the core perspective of the story. Talented, tenacious and independent financial analyst. Gentle on the outside, but independent and tough on the inside. When he first entered the workplace, he was idealistic, but gradually he was polished by reality, but his core kindness and principles remained unchanged. It is the eye of the storm in the triangle relationship.
Lu Chen (Lu Chen): 30-32 years old, Su Wan's direct boss, MD (Managing Director) of the Investment Banking Department. Cold, restrained, and tough-minded, he is known as the "Iceberg of the Morning Star." From an ordinary or even low-level background, he climbed to a high position with extraordinary hard work and ruthlessness. He has a deep, repressed, and even twisted love for Su Wan. He is one of the main perpetrators of "abuse", but he also bears great pain.
Xu Heng: 28-30 years old, MD at the same level as Lu Chen, responsible for another core department (such as M&A/Capital Markets). The "noble young master" who is sunny, handsome and personable is actually very scheming and possessive. He was born into a distinguished family and was the only son of a powerful director of the group. The passionate and aggressive pursuit of Su Wan is another source of "abuse" and Lu Chen's dual opponent in the workplace and in love.
Power struggle in the workplace + complex emotional triangle + class differences + collision between personal ideals and reality.
