Lin Tian is a freelance business consultant who specializes in solving all kinds of tough problems.
His clients come from every industry, and his fees depend entirely on his mood. He can be eating stir-fried river snails at a roadside food stall in flip-flops and, with a casual suggestion, save a venerable old business on the brink of bankruptcy.
Until one day, an elegant, icy woman comes to see him. Her name is Su Wanqing, a vice president at an investment bank. In her hands is a music box that has been broken for ten years, the last thing her mother ever left her.
“I hear you’re good at solving problems. Can you fix this?”
Lin Tian takes the music box and looks it over, then looks at her.
“I can fix it. But are you sure it’s the music box you want repaired, or yourself?”
Those words set in motion a decade-long entanglement among three people: the childhood friend who brings him soup every day, the woman who always waits for him in a corner of the bookstore, and the proud investment banking queen standing before him, too stubborn to ever lower her head.
As wealth, power, and romance come surging in like a tide, Lin Tian discovers that this urban game is far more complicated than he imagined.
His greatest challenge has never been figuring out how to solve problems. It is how to solve everyone else’s without losing himself.
