Deep in the shadows of Wudang District, a man's fate quietly takes a turn. Cui Qiqiang, an ordinary person who originally just wanted to keep his seriously ill mother alive, was forced to become the sect of the underground emperor Uncle Sheng and become his adopted son.
This road to power is full of thorns and temptations. In Uncle Sheng's empire, Cui Qiqiang witnessed the dirty deals behind the glamor and witnessed how power corrupts human nature. When he was ordered to destroy an old street that carried the memories of countless people, he met Lin Wei, a graduate student who fought to protect his homeland - her appearance was like a ray of light shining into his increasingly dark world.
However, his mother suddenly became critically ill and demolition was imminent. Cui Qiqiang was in a dilemma. In misunderstanding and helplessness, he lost his close relatives and was regarded by his beloved as an accomplice who was colluding with the evil forces.
Cui Qiqiang fell deeper and deeper into the maze of power and desire in Wudang District. On one side is Uncle Sheng who can give everything and destroy everything, and on the other side is the love and conscience that he dare not ask for. Every choice you make may be salvation, or it may be doomed...
This is a story about power, love and redemption. It tells the difficult journey of a person struggling to survive in the dark reality and trying to hold on to the last glimmer of humanity. Behind the neon city, everyone lives with a mask, and the real challenge is how to still remember the original appearance of oneself in the face of the deepest darkness.
