2025, Shenzhen.
Lu Chen was delivering food when he saw his ex-girlfriend sitting in a Porsche and laughing at him for being poor. His mother was critically ill that night and needed 80,000 yuan for surgery, but he couldn't borrow a penny.
His college roommate Zhou Ye threw him a wad of money and said, "Fuck me, don't cry."
Only then did Lu Chen understand: hard work can only provide food and clothing, and making a fortune depends on brains and cognition.
In order to cross the class, he started a cruel "substitution" plan:
Replace his ex-girlfriend who thought he was poor;
Replace the brother who made him rich but jumped off the building;
Replace the betraying partners, the old money blocking the road, the mentors guiding the way...
The final step in a true cognitive leap is to replace the familiar self.
This is a record of survival stained with blood and money. It does not talk about kindness, but only talks about survival.
