The cold and rational business elite Xia Feng meets and travels back to the impoverished rural areas of 1980, where he is bullied. Faced with the shackles of an excellent family and the times, she relied on her advanced wisdom and ruthless methods to start as a tailor, cleverly maneuvering her way upstream.
In a dangerous rainy night, she unexpectedly fell in love with the stern military officer Jiang Ze; in the Huaqing Garden, she attracted attention with her astonishing knowledge. In the wave of reform and opening up, she accurately seized every opportunity, mediating between academics, entrepreneurship and complex emotions.
From the countryside to the university, from the self-employed to the rising business star, Xia Xianfeng used knowledge as his blade and ambition as his sail. He made precise bets in the folds of the times and eventually became a legend.
