Under an overpass during the evening rush hour, sparks fly between the deliveryman Qing Xiaoguo's electric car and the pickup truck delivering horse food. This encounter, complete with whistles and arguments, makes him, who has the talent of "dynamic visual enhancement," form an indissoluble bond with equestrian veterinarian Ma Xiaoya. He didn't know it at the time, but his instinct for accurately predicting gaps in traffic would eventually become the sharp edge that dictates speed on horseback.
Qing Xiaoguo, who lost his job because he was late, accidentally broke into the "Fengchi Racecourse" on the outskirts of the city. In this world filled with the smell of forage and the sound of horse hooves, he, who was once regarded as "clumsy", was able to capture the details of the horseshoe stuck on the stone from the manic tremors of the horse, and predict the limit of physical strength from the rider's pace. The old equestrian notes handed over by Ma Xiaoya and the dust-laden racing secrets from Lao Zhou gradually revealed a world that is far more complicated than urban traffic - there is the glory of galloping here, and there is also an undercurrent of conspiracy.
The annexation ambition of Zhao Shanhe, the owner of the racecourse in a neighboring city, revealed the mystery of Xiaoya's father's "accidental" retirement; the mystery of "Lightning"'s bloodline involved the shady story of banned doping in the arena; and the obstruction of the National League Vice Chairman Zhang Qiming made Xiaoguo discover that her father's death after falling off a horse was no accident. From a part-time groom to a formal rider, from a desperate comeback in the municipal league to a life-or-death showdown in the national arena, Qing Xiaoguo rode "Lightning" to break through obstacles again and again: malicious collisions on the track, drug plots in the dark, and stigma and slander in the public opinion field, none of them could stop him from running towards the finish line.
Ma Xiaoya has always been his strongest support. Her veterinary needle is as powerful as his reins, and together they protect the critically ill Sai on a rainy night.
