[Two male leads + business rivalry + revenge + healing + childhood friends + broken relationship mended + happy ending]
This is a story about betrayal and forgiveness, conspiracy and true love, breaking free and starting anew.
Gu Jincheng, the Gu family's adopted son, is exceptionally capable but trapped in the shackles of being treated as a “tool.”
Xu Shuo arrives as his new subordinate. Talented, yet shrouded in mystery about his background.
As they clash at work, they are drawn to each other, and their feelings grow stronger.
But a carefully planned “betrayal” tears apart the trust that has only just begun to take root, forcing Xu Shuo to leave for overseas.
As the layers of the truth are peeled away, his background turns out to be closely tied to a murder case from twenty years ago.
Once a pawn, he awakens as an avenger and returns with the truth.
Facing his adoptive father's exploitation, his uncle's schemes, and the wounds of their relationship, can the two break through the shackles around them
and reclaim their lives amid corporate battles and struggles of human nature?
