Capital weaves a gray chess game, and all living beings are pawns, without exception. "Trap" takes the downward trajectory of Zhang Xiaobai, a young man from the bottom, as the main line, tearing open the hypocritical shell of capital, and composing a dark tragedy of the fall of human nature in the game between two heroes, multiple reversals and morbid fetters.
Yanhe Capital has a glamorous appearance and secretly arranges harvesting; Hengxin's manpower hides in the dark and specializes in transporting prey. The two major capitals check and balance each other and collude with each other. The boss behind the scenes, Gu Yan, controls the overall situation, treating Su Yan as a pawn and ordinary people as domestication nutrients. Artificially inflated medical bills, deliberate suppression in the workplace, and well-orchestrated tenderness and kindness all shackle the struggling people at the bottom, leading them step by step and pushing them into the abyss.
Within the chess game, no one is free. Double-faced undercover Shen Zhixia is forbearing and restrained, trapped in manipulation and secret love; Qin Zhou is paranoid and crazy, trapped in fruitless possessiveness; simple and cowardly Lin Suisui becomes a victim of the game. Su Yan and Wen Ran are obsessed with each other, and are repeatedly pulled between use and attraction. The chaotic emotional network is intertwined with ambiguity, betrayal and destruction, and it is difficult for everyone to reach perfection.
From entering the game with a hundred-yuan bait to facing the sacrifice of human nature, Zhang Xiaobai crushed his true heart, lost his purity, struggled in the scam, and completely turned into a black man. After the dust settled, all the chess pieces on the bottom floor fell. He broke free from the muddy bottom floor, but fell into the cold cage on the top floor.
The city's neon lights are bright, and the trap is permanently closed. This cold capital hunting confirms the cruel truth: there is no redemption in the world, and everyone is trapped in the double cage of human relationships and capital, with nowhere to escape.
