Shu Yan struggled in the quagmire for half his life.
His father died when he was young, and he studied hard to get into college. When he graduated, his mother became seriously ill. He worked hard for four years in a work-study program and endured workplace bullying. He was about to grab a chance at promotion, but was replaced by a related employer. Once he was fired, he was left with no other options.
Out of desperation, he ran into the powerful Yan Ci, the president of a rival company, which was also the beginning of pulling him into the abyss.
In a transaction that used money as a bargaining chip, he bowed his head and compromised in exchange for his mother's chance of survival.
A tampered phone call and a cut off medical expenses prevented him from even keeping his mother's last face.
The moment his mother passed away, Shu Yan's heart completely died.
He disappeared without a trace, emptying out Yan Ci's world.
When we met again, it was already five years later.
The surging love and hate in the past, and the raging fire are no match for a belated truth.
With this as the boundary, the first half of my life is suffering and disappointment, and the second half of my life, I will use the rest of my life to pay you back.
