"Between Drunk and Waking Up" is a work focusing on the family business war of "Jingchunfang", a time-honored brand with a century-old sauce. It is inspired by the bizarre car accident in the middle of the mountain of the wine industry leader Gu Jingshan, tearing apart the greed and calculation under the glamorous shell of the billionaire.
After Gu Jingshan woke up from a serious injury, he dropped three bombshells: marrying Su Yan, a descendant of intangible cultural heritage who is 40 years younger than him, pouring all his wealth into an irrevocable family trust, and appointing Lu Ze, who has a blood feud with the Gu family, as the executor of the trust. This move instantly triggered a battle for power between the eldest son Gu Jingfeng and the second son Gu Jingming. The third son Gu Jingchen, who had broken up with his father for ten years due to his mother's suicide, was also involved in this whirlpool.
As the truth about the car accident twenty years ago came to light, revenge, betrayal, and internal strife took turns. In the end, Su Yan maintained a century-old inheritance in the chaos, and also revealed the obsession, redemption, and involuntary nature of human nature under the shackles of wealth.
