On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, it was a snowy night.
Zhou Nian'an huddled in a dilapidated rental house in a village in the city. He was suffering from a high fever and owed a loan shark of 30,000 yuan. The debt collector Dao Ge blocked the door and beat him. He thought this was the darkest night of his life - until he received a call: Lin Wan, the only girl who had given him warmth, committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Overnight, he was pushed into the abyss of fate.
In order to save Lin Wan, he pledged his life to Brother Dao and borrowed 50,000 yuan for medical expenses. But when he came out of the hospital, another piece of bad news hit him: his grandmother, who raised him, was gone.
When he returned to the village for the funeral, he found a yellowed letter among his grandmother's belongings——
He is not a child of the Zhou family. Twenty-five years ago, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, he was abandoned in the snow with only a jade pendant on his body, engraved with the word "zhou".
And the "task" given to him by Brother Dao, who bankrupted him and forced him to commit suicide, was to steal the secrets of the Zhou Group.
Zhou Group. Zhou Jianguo. Zhou Jianye.
The word "Zhou" on that jade pendant points to the most prominent family in the city.
