Chen Zhongping, a new scholar in the science and technology industry, entered the officialdom with the ideal of helping the world, and went on the road together with his close friends Sun Mingyuan, Zhang Chongwen and Li Shen in the same year. However, the officialdom is like a melting pot, with clear currents and turbid waves intertwining violently. Faced with conflicting interests and conflicting ideas, the Xinglin Alliance was put to the test in the power whirlpool in the past. Some people stick to their original aspirations, while others fall into decline step by step, and close friends eventually become strangers. This is a profound epic about ideals, human nature and choices.
