After helping an elderly person who had fallen, an ordinary act of kindness, warmhearted young man Chen Mo sees his life turned upside down. The old person's family accuses him of causing the accident, and when the victim dies "unexpectedly," Chen Mo is dragged into a carefully planned murder case. The media fan the flames, the chain of evidence closes "perfectly," and even his friends and family avoid him. In an instant, Chen Mo goes from a kind citizen to a "murderer," trapped in a desperate situation with no one to turn to.
Just as injustice is about to swallow him whole, a mysterious organization calling itself the "Cleaners" finds him. They promise to clear his name, but in exchange Chen Mo must join them and become a "cleaner of the abyss": part of a secret group dedicated to exposing society's dark side, uncovering money-and-power deals, and speaking up for ordinary people crushed by injustice.
With access to the organization's special channels and resources, Chen Mo manages to clear his name, but also sees the hidden hand that controlled his fate: the vast and deeply entrenched interest group known as the Golden Cauldron Society. Clearing his name isn't the end. It's the beginning of his descent into the abyss.
From the cover-up of school bullying and concealed medical scandals to bloody forced evictions during property development, shocking financial scams, and rot in the judicial system... Chen Mo and his companions become "cleaners," walking the line between law and morality. Using the internet, public opinion, and even rifts within their opponents' ranks, they bring one filthy deal after another, carefully buried beneath money and power, into the light. Their enemies aren't just vicious villains, but the cold reality of a society plagued by lost trust and declining morals.
