In 1998, after the floods in the south, Ye Xuan, a young man from northern Anhui, stepped into Hongcheng alone.
With no relatives, no family, no money and no power, he started out as a dock porter and a wandering coolie, struggling to survive in the mud, violence, humiliation and despair, living like an ant.
A heavy rain and a chance encounter on the verge of death allowed him to meet the light of his life - the clean and gentle Jiang Zhe from a scholarly family.
She was the only goodwill in the quagmire, the only warmth left in the darkness, and the person he wanted to protect at all costs.
From having nothing to setting up a street stall;
From a small shop to a logistics empire;
From a corner of Hongcheng, to the struggle for hegemony in Lingnan, to an international business giant spanning the world.
Xuan Ye walked on through blood and tears all the way, encountering evil forces, fighting against capital, fighting giants, and breaking conspiracies. She was on the verge of death several times and fell into the abyss several times, but she never bowed her head.
He and Jiang Zhe, one is crawling in the mud at the bottom, the other is falling into the dust in the clouds,
Identity disparity, family opposition, love rival sabotage, business war kidnapping, life and death separation...
After going through many difficulties and obstacles, misunderstandings and perfections, cruelty and perseverance, they are closely dependent on each other in the torrent of the world. From not daring to love each other, to being inseparable in life and death, they finally become the only salvation in each other's life.
