At 28, Lin Chen is the hidden "hit-maker" behind Xingmang Media, one of the country's top marketing firms.
After five years in the industry, he personally created three marketing campaigns that went viral across the internet and became legendary, winning the company contracts worth tens of millions. Yet every time, his greedy and incompetent direct supervisor, Zhang Peng, stole all the credit. Lin Chen's patience and diligence earned him nothing but a frame-up and a malicious layoff. To cover up a public-relations disaster caused by his own corruption, Zhang Peng pinned all the blame on Lin Chen, withheld his full severance pay, and even vowed to blacklist him across the entire industry.
Just when things couldn't get worse, his girlfriend of three years broke up with him, saying, "I don't see a future for us." He was plunged into a triple crisis of unemployment, an industry-wide blacklist, and heartbreak.
Faced with a scheme designed to destroy him, Lin Chen tears up the humiliating termination agreement and swears an ironclad oath: one day, he will make them repay his every insult and debt a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
He wields top-tier market insight like a blade and unparalleled marketing strategy like armor. In his darkest hour, he seizes his one chance at survival: an offer from Su Qingyan, marketing director at Qingyun Group, a client-side powerhouse and the only person who saw his true ability.
From an unemployed man blacklisted across the industry, to the mastermind behind the revival of domestic brands, and then to the marketing godfather who stirs up the business world, Lin Chen takes down backstabbers, humiliates corporate giants, and turns the tide at every impasse. With his ability, he overturns the industry's rotten rules and step by step builds a business empire of his own, carving out a triumphant path through the urban business world.
