On a glittering, decadent rainy night, two men who should never have crossed paths meet by chance.
Lu Ziqian, founder of Qianhe Capital, commands a trillion-yuan fortune, yet a diagnosis has sentenced him to death: end-stage congenital heart disease, with less than three years to live. Lin Moyang, head of Moyang Group, built a business empire from nothing, but carries an unspeakable secret: a mysterious “Wealth System” is parasitizing his brain, granting him anything he asks for at a cruel price.
When Lu Ziqian saves Lin Moyang during a perilous ambush in a dark alley, the frail investment tycoon and the rising business star with extraordinary abilities are forced together. They go from rivals probing each other for weaknesses, to fragile allies united against a common enemy, and finally to comrades entrusting their lives to each other.
But the dangers go far beyond business warfare. A vast shadow known as the “Shadow Foundation” has long loomed over the world. It covets the era-defying technology in Lin Moyang’s mind and sees Lu Ziqian as the perfect “test subject.” From open and covert battles in domestic bidding wars to a deadly trap at a Berlin hospital in Germany, every step of their flight is fraught with peril.
As Lu Ziqian’s heart nears failure, and Lin Moyang must delve into the System’s core to save his closest friend, confronting the truth of his origins and a terrible price, they face their final choice: should they fight separately and accept their fates, or risk everything, including their independent consciousness and existence, in an unprecedented “fusion” to tear a path to survival out of the jaws of despair?
This is the story of two lonely souls saving each other as death counts down, and a desperate gamble on wealth, life, freedom, and love.
