The story begins with an investigation into an unusual data transaction in Qingyang Province, and auditor Chen Yan is involved in a complex chess game that affects the local and even national levels. Faced with the new challenges and intertwined interest patterns in the data age, Chen Yan and his team, under the guidance of the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, "If you dare, you will kill; if you dare not, you will live." Pilot projects were launched in Qingyang, Linbin, and Ningzhou to explore the "three distributions" plan for the income from data elements. This is not only an anti-corruption storm, but also a profound exploration of how to make data, a new production factor, truly become the "cornerstone of a great country" that benefits the people.
