Special reconnaissance soldier Jiang Wanzhou was forced to retire early because he adhered to his principles and contradicted his superiors. He returned to the capital of the 1980s that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Her family urged her to get married, her neighbors criticized her, and she was unable to find a job, which made her, the former "king of the army," fall into confusion. In an accident, in order to protect the weak, she showed off her skills on the street and solved a gang of gangsters that even gave the police a headache. As a result, she broke into the sight of Xie Xun'an, the most mysterious "treacherous man" in the capital.
Xie Xun'an, an illegitimate son of a wealthy family wandering in the gray area, is ambitiously trying to build his own business empire in the wave of reform and opening up. He took a fancy to Jiang Wanzhou's extraordinary skills, keen observation and indestructible will, and extended an invitation to her for cooperation.
From the initial wariness and rejection, Jiang Wanzhou stepped into this business world full of opportunities and dangers for survival and ideals. With her military reconnaissance ability, she helped Xie Xun'an avoid business traps and identify scams; with her strong combat power, she helped him deal with the black hands and suppression from his peers; with her deep-seated integrity, she pulled Xie Xun'an back to the right path again and again, preventing him from getting lost in money and power.
The two gradually developed from a cooperative relationship that used each other to a tacit comrade-in-arms fighting side by side, and eventually became each other's only support. They joined forces to defeat the greedy state-owned factory directors, and swallowed up competitors with deep backgrounds. Starting from reselling electronic watches and clothing, they gradually established their own industrial territory, and finally wrote their own legend in that turbulent era.
