In the coming era, the global economy is controlled by a handful of aloof alliances of family businesses. Among them, the two major business giants, the "Yuanhai Alliance" headed by the "Hanhai Group" and the "Skyline Alliance" with the "Lingxiao Chaibatsu" as the core, are undercurrents surging under the surface of cooperation, competing for absolute dominance in core industries such as energy, data, and genetic technology.
The young heir of Hanhai Group, "Mo Yuan", a calm, profound business wizard with extraordinary strategic vision, was forced to take over this huge and complex business empire in advance after his father's sudden death. Not only does he have to deal with the aggressive offensive from the outside Lingxiao chaebol, but he also has to face the constraints and secret strife of the veteran factions within the group. Mo Yuan's every step is on thin ice. He must make a choice between the glory of his family and his future survival.
At the same time, the mysterious and elegant chief strategy officer "Shuang Hua", the brains behind the Lingxiao chaebol, has become Mo Yuan's most powerful opponent with his keen insight and subversive innovative thinking. She is not a member of the family, but she holds a pivotal position in the Lingxiao chaebol with her outstanding talents. Her goal seems to be not only commercial victory, but also some kind of subversion of the existing order.
A battle surrounding the development rights of a new energy source, the "Core of Creation," and the control of the huge data stream behind it, the "Eye of the Universe," has pushed the two alliances to the brink of all-out war. Mo Yuan and Shuang Hua, two chess players who stand at the forefront of the times, will use their wisdom and courage to write the history of the rise and fall of their respective empires on the smoke-free battlefield.
