Jiang Qingyan, the top domestic entertainment idol, signed a contract of prostitution to save his sick mother and became the most dazzling prisoner in the capital cage; investigative reporter Shen Zhaoying dived into the abyss to avenge her father, vowing to uncover the darkest secret of the entertainment empire - two people who survived by lies saw the only true reflection in each other's eyes.
Thirteen years ago, 15-year-old Jiang Qingyan signed a twenty-year "slave contract" with Star Century to raise money for her mother's surgery. From then on, her life was regulated down to the minute. Her body belonged to the stage and her soul belonged to the contract.
Seven years ago, Shen Chao's father, the famous investigative reporter Shen Mo, died unexpectedly on the eve of exposing the shady story of Star Century. From then on, she changed her name to "Zhao Ying" and infiltrated Jiang Qingyan's team incognito, vowing to find the truth.
"I know who you are." Jiang Qingyan whispered in the unmonitored stairwell for the first showdown, "Shen Mo's daughter. You help me break the cage, and I will help you get the evidence."
From mutual temptation to dangerous conspiracy, from hypocrisy to life and death dependence. When Shen Zhaoying discovered that her father's death was connected to the underground criminal network spanning the entertainment and financial circles, she and Jiang Qingyan also reached the edge of danger.
"If your father died because he knew too much," Jiang Qingyan lit a cigarette in the safe house late at night, "then what you know now is enough for them to kill you a hundred times. But we have no way out, Zhaoying. Either we will uncover the truth together, or we will sink into the abyss together."
This is a life and death game about redemption and revenge, lies and truth, imprisonment and freedom.
When all the masks are peeled away, can they find the possibility of redemption for each other in the fatal truth?
