In order to save her grandma, genius young Lin Che was forced to enter a cruel chess game designed by capitalist tycoon Zhou Xushen.
He was trained to be the sharpest knife and was placed at the center of the storm between the Zhou family's internal strife and external capital. From the lonely training in the basement, to the disguised life on the university campus, to the life-and-death game in the capital building, Lin Che struggled to survive among the cold numbers and rules, while Zhou Xushen, who pushed him into the abyss, gradually became the only light and shackles he could talk to.
When the boundaries between loyalty and betrayal are blurred, when the emotions of manipulation and dependence are entangled, they are each other's most dangerous enemies and the only ones of their kind who can embrace each other for warmth in the darkness. This is a game in the name of ideals and capital, and no one knows who the winner is until the end.
