In the prosperous city of the 21st century, Lin Chen, the general manager of Lin Group, conceals his deep depression with a cynical attitude. Every joke he makes seems to have a sense of self-exile. Su Wan, a seemingly gentle and kind-hearted woman, inadvertently revealed her hidden secrets during her entanglement with Lin Chen. The two developed complex feelings in the collision of reality. However, the emergence of the cunning villain Zhao Feng took advantage of their respective weaknesses to set traps, making this relationship, which was already full of temptation and defensiveness, full of cracks. The story is intertwined with flashbacks and interludes to reveal the source of Lin Chen's depression, the secret behind Su Wancheng's mansion, and whether they will sink or be redeemed in sadomasochism. Lin Chen's keen insight (talent) into people's hearts is not only a shield for him to protect himself, but also a spear to stab Su Wan.
