Linzhou, a coastal rust-belt city that once prospered due to its heavy industry, now only remains in ruins and a network of intertwined interests - government and businessmen colluded to swallow up demolition funds, gangs controlled the channels for building materials, and the people at the bottom struggled with dilapidated housing and unemployment. Shen Yanci returned with a mysterious sum of money and a lingering chill. This city where her family's past was buried is a quagmire she must overcome.
She does not do charity, but only uses ruthless means to tear open the gap: using anonymous reports to overthrow the protective umbrella of corrupt officials, disrupting the gang-monopolized building materials market with low-price bidding, and even letting "accidents" happen to high-profile households who hinder the project. Amid the roar of bulldozers and cement tanks, she must not only rebuild collapsed roads and residential buildings, but also reconstruct Linzhou's distorted power structure.
But as the infrastructure project progresses, she discovers that the truth behind her family's bankruptcy is far darker than she imagined, and the forces she stepped on are uniting to weave more dangerous traps. When reinforced concrete is poured not only for the building's foundation, but also her ambitions for revenge and control, Linzhou's rebirth is destined to be soaked in blood and calculations.
