In New Cang City, 2077, the top council controls everything, while the bottom-dwelling refugees are treated like ants.
Su Ning, code-named “Ghost,” poses as a timid, helpless refugee with nothing to her name, waiting in the black market to “fish.”
She tricks Lu Shiyan, the aloof tech CEO, by pretending to be a loyal subordinate who takes the fall for him, then steals his core neural-chip technology;
She tricks Shen Jin, the unhinged casino boss, by pretending to be the childhood sweetheart he never forgot and the only one who understands his obsession, then steals his killer team and intelligence network;
She tricks Gu Yanchen, the gentle head of security, by acting like a naive refugee who depends on his protection, then steals his security access to the entire city.
The big shots are all wrapped around her little finger. Each one bares his soul and shares everything he has, thinking he has her right where he wants her.
Until one day, Su Ning drops her disguise and hacks into every holographic screen in the city. With a tap of her finger, she takes control of New Cang City's entire information network.
“Sorry, big shots. From beginning to end, you were all just tools to help me reach the top.”
The top council wants to destroy her? She uses the forces she conned from them to topple their rule with a single command.
A villain tries to stir up trouble? She makes a little move and lets him suffer the consequences.
When the big shots learn they were fooled, they don't seek revenge. Instead, they gaze at her with tearful eyes and submit. “Ghost Boss, please deceive us one more time!”
