On a stormy night, Lin Chen finished his final delivery on an electric scooter with a dead battery, only to see Su Wan, the eldest daughter of the Su family, surrounded by attackers. It was no coincidence: it was his all-or-nothing “ticket into a higher class.”
Su Wan had the Su family behind her, a clan that controlled half the city’s economy. She had never believed in true feelings, caring only about whether someone was “useful.” Lin Chen pinpointed her weakness, hid the sweat-soaked smell of his delivery bag, and invented a backstory as a down-on-his-luck overseas-educated professional. With carefully crafted lies, he became a partner she considered “useful.”
He used the Su family’s connections to break into the business world and landed projects with a fabricated resume, crushing rivals and swallowing up resources through the cracks in his lies. Su Wan, meanwhile, used his “abilities” to secure her family’s position. Each got what they wanted, yet neither realized that their secrets had already wound around their hearts like vines.
When Lin Chen’s past as a delivery rider was exposed and his fake credentials were about to come to light, the Su family also fell into crisis because of his decisions. Everyone thought he would weather the storm with Su Wan. But at the most critical moment, he made off with the Su family’s core assets and personally cast Su Wan into the abyss.
He did not hesitate or look back. When the delivery rider who once rode an electric scooter sat in the center seat at a capital summit and received applause, no one knew how many shattered lies lay beneath his feet, or that the heiress he had once used as a “stepping stone” had been abandoned in the mud.
This is not a love story. It is the tale of a man from the bottom of society who climbed the class ladder through lies and ruthlessness, trampling the bodies of the “benefactors” who helped him along the way.
