The bloody Shura under the neon lights and the ascetic Buddhist disciple at the top of the Beijing circle were two parallel lines that would never intersect, but due to a gang fire and entanglement with family interests, they collided earth-shatteringly.
Shen Nanzhi, who was burdened with the secret of an old family case, cut off her long hair, tied up her chest, and fought in the underground world under the name "Shen Zhi". She was ruthless, decisive and resourceful. She single-handedly overcame obstacles and took the top spot in the gang, becoming the feared "Master Gardenia". Only when she takes off her disguise late at night, will she reveal the softness of "Shen Nanzhi" for a moment in front of her best friend Xu Moran - what she wants is never power, but to find out the truth about the mysterious disappearance of her parents Shen Yuyan and Su Kexin.
Jiang Beisheng, the leader of the Jiang family in the imperial capital, is a god-level existence in Beijing circles. He is dressed in plain clothes, has a cool temperament, is not approachable to women, and does not get involved in disputes. He is called a "living Buddha". After three years in power, he used an iron fist to stabilize the family's position. He was the only one who respected himself and never had any weaknesses.
When the smoke of gangsters intersects with the undercurrent of Beijing circles, and when family grudges collide with personal love and hatred, Shen Nanzhi finally understands that what she wants is not only the truth, but also Jiang Beisheng, who was once a "Buddhist son" but now only bows his head for her. And Jiang Beisheng finally understood that the so-called "unkindness" is just that he has not met the person who can make him willing to sink.
This is a story about redemption and protection - the black lotus blooms in the mud, and the Buddha enters the world as a mortal. They embrace each other in the darkness, use love as a blade, split all obstacles, and finally find the truth and each other.
