Su Weiwan, a top escape room designer, was unexpectedly appointed to the "Copper City" Planning and Heritage Protection Bureau, which is known for its "rigid procedures and inefficiency" due to an accident. This city advocates the ultimate steampunk style in architectural aesthetics. Precision gears, exposed brass pipes and complicated mechanical structures are not only decorations, but also symbols of the rigid and intricate bureaucracy of the entire city. Su Weiwan discovered that the internal power checks and balances, rule loopholes and personnel relationships of this huge and rusty bureaucracy were exactly the same as the top secret room puzzle she designed.
The insurmountable barriers of rules in the eyes of others are, to her, coded locks waiting to be cracked; the intricate conflicts of interest among colleagues are hidden rooms where key clues need to be found; the numerous traps set by superiors are the mechanisms she is best at exploiting in reverse. Su Weiwan has no golden fingers. Her only weapon is the backroom designer's thinking that "models" all problems. She deduced the truth of the incident through reverse engineering and took advantage of system loopholes to complete the "impossible mission." In the process of "solving puzzles" one after another, she gradually stood on the power table from a marginal clerk, and finally personally "designed" and launched the "restart mechanism" of the entire bureaucracy, dismantling the outdated gears one by one and replacing them with a brand new core. The highlight lies in how the heroine uses her unique and non-traditional professional thinking to reduce the dimensionality and attack in the serious and rigid officialdom environment. She has repeatedly staged the exciting drama of "a layman guiding an expert" and won a great victory.
