Guo Muyao was once a top student in the city's key high school. Her report card was always ranked among the top three in her grade. She was within reach of being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Her life was supposed to be a smooth road paved with sunshine. Until his sophomore year in high school, his father Guo Jianjun's gambling debts snowballed through the family, and his drug addiction dragged the family into the abyss. The night when gangsters collecting debts smashed the window glass, her mother was overwhelmed and jumped off the building to commit suicide, and Guo Muyao's world completely collapsed.
In order to repay huge debts and protect her young brother, she was forced to drop out of school and step into the underground world of dragons and snakes. From a "debt-ridden daughter" who was bullied by low-level gang members, to a ruthless character who picked up a knife and stick in order to survive, and then to fight his way through the bloody storm with his extraordinary IQ, calm mind and ruthless methods. She was stained with blood, betrayed her conscience, and traded her youth and dignity for a foothold. Step by step, she transformed from a lamb at the mercy of others to a "Sister Yao" who controlled the underground order of the city.
This road is paved with thorns and sins, the bookishness of the past has been replaced by hostility, and the once bright future has been swallowed up by darkness. She overlooks all living beings at the peak of power, but she is also licking her wounds alone late at night. Those lost family ties and broken dreams have become shackles that she can never redeem. This is a story about destruction and rebirth, fall and rise. It records how a girl blossomed into a thorny black rose in the darkness under the cruel crushing force of fate.
