The story revolves around the protagonist. On the surface, he is an ordinary delivery rider, mocked by his coworkers for being stingy and nagged by his relatives to get married. He leads the quintessential “loser” life. In truth, however, he is a hidden tycoon who controls hundreds of billions in capital and cutting-edge technology projects from behind the scenes. When his family business plunges into a major crisis due to poor management, his cousin, who has always looked down on him, is forced to seek help everywhere in search of the legendary mysterious investor. At last, the protagonist stops hiding. Pushing a milk-tea cart, he makes a bizarre yet stunning entrance into the heart of the family conglomerate, completing his ultimate rise from “insect” to “mastermind.”
