Imaginary era, fictional story
On an autumn night in Shenzhen City, a celebrity wedding brought two old lovers who had been separated for five years back to the same time and space. Lu Shang, a down-and-out game anchor, hangs out among the guests; Pei Xuan, a prosperous upstart in the business world, is flanked by a well-matched bride. A cold "Do we know each other?" Opened the scars of the past - the fiery oath in the midsummer of seventeen years old, but five years later only suspicion and hatred remained. Five years ago, Lu Shang became the biggest suspect in the collapse of the Pei family's business empire. He left in a hurry when Pei Xuan pronounced him "a liar and should have died long ago."
Now, Pei Hyun uses a generous contract and a seemingly sheltered apartment as a cage to lock Lu Shang out of sight again. From signing a contract with Xinghui Entertainment to being involved in the crisis-ridden e-sports variety show "Boundary Breakers", Lu Shang struggled with the camera and hidden arrows. The live broadcast equipment was precisely destroyed, "accidents" shocked at high altitudes, public opinions were maliciously slandered, and dark hands loomed in the dark. All clues vaguely pointed to the Zhou family behind Pei Xuan and the fog that had not cleared up five years ago.
On the back of the yellowed test paper with the youth oath written on it was Pei Hyun's accusation that penetrated the paper: "But you never believed me." Trust had already been broken in the storm five years ago. Pei Xun's approach is full of cold calculation and control, and Lu Shang's return is burdened with injustice and unwillingness. When the variety show came to an end and the prosperity dissipated, Lu Shang resolutely gave up "protection", erased his contact information, swore by the burn marks on his forehead, and embarked on the thorny road of finding the truth alone. The light and shadow in the deep city are intertwined, old feelings and cruel reality are burned to ashes, the face of the truth is more blurry than hatred, and colder than love...
