During the turbulent reform wave in the early 1990s, Lin Wan, a beautiful and intelligent waiter at a county guest house who came from a humble background, navigated the jungle of officialdom with her extraordinary courage. And always accompanying her ups and downs is her high school classmate Chen Ming, an elite lawyer who is rational and cold-blooded but has deep feelings for her. The two are intertwined in love and hate. They are each other's sharpest weapon and softest weakness. This urban sadomasochism, which begins in youth and ends in fate, is not only an epic about a woman changing her life against the will of nature, but also an era tragedy about love, betrayal and redemption.
