Song Yan, a descendant of a charlatan who was kicked out, relied on his ancestral "thousands of skills and thirty-six strategies" to get by in the market. He is humorous but scheming. He is cynical on the surface, but in fact he uses deception to control violence and outwit situations. When he fled into a low-rent house in the old city to avoid being hunted, he met a seemingly kind neighbor - Fatty Zhao. This seemingly ordinary greasy middle-aged man is actually the mastermind behind many murder cases. Fatty Zhao is eyeing Song Yan's ancestral secret technique and wants to take it for himself. A battle of wits unfolds in a dilapidated corridor. Song Yan discovered that what is more terrifying than deception is the greed of people. He wants to use the spider web weaved by lies to wrap up his enemies one by one in the vortex of a game within a game and a plan within a plan. From the initial self-preservation to survival, to proactive layout, and then to the discovery of the huge industrial chain behind Fatty Zhao, Song Yan had to use his IQ to dance on the edge of the knife again and again. This is a gamble with no way out - either lose everything or deceive the world.
