In 1988, at a dance party at Tongcheng University, Qi Tianyuan, the provincial champion, and Han Sheng, a poor boy, met over a spilled beer.
One is determined to rule the world with laws, and the other just wants to feed his younger brother.
Twenty years later——
Qi Tianyuan became the youngest major municipal leader in Yunjiang Province, holding an envelope handed to him by others, with an invisible abyss in his eyes.
Han Sheng became the helmsman of the largest underground chamber of commerce in Chongqing City, followed by countless people, and there was a road of no return in front of him.
We meet again at the judgment seat.
One sat in the defendant's seat, and the other also sat in the defendant's seat.
They had agreed: "When we all stand up, we will drink the unfinished glass of wine together."
——Before the wine is drunk, the person is broken first.
This is a story about choices and costs.
No one is born a bad person, but every compromise pushes good people into the abyss.
