On the surface, this is a contemporary city that is no different from reality: there are listed companies, wealthy marriages, and ordinary people crowding the subway.
Secretly, the lifeline of the global economy lies in the hands of the "Nine Hidden Families". They do not show up directly, but control resources through agents, trusts, and shell companies. Even the richest man in each country is just a "clear pawn" on their chessboard.
The Lin family is one of the nine major families, mainly engaged in cross-border capital and intelligence networks.
Twenty years ago, there was internal strife in the Lin family, and the direct line was suppressed. The youngest son Lin Chuan was secretly sent to secular training - the "Inheritance Trial": only after three years at the bottom can the inheritance be activated without relying on a penny from the family.
The expiration of the three-year period was when Lin Chuan was forced by the Gu family to sign a divorce agreement.
