Hu Mingyue, a physics genius in the 1980s, was once a woman who was expected to reach the pinnacle of academics. However, she was severely crushed by a life of poverty and a betrayal of marriage. Her talent was buried and her character was distorted. She eventually developed Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). She forcibly projected her unfinished obsession with class crossing onto her daughter Qi Chengxin. Qi Chengxin grew up under the control and torture of her mother. She inherited Hu Mingyue's reason and wisdom perfectly, but abandoned her mother's fragility and dependence. She understood the weaknesses of human nature, and used "Anna"-style meticulous tactics to wander in the city's fame and fortune fair. She climbed up from the bottom step by step without relying on any emotional fetters, relying only on calculation and layout. In the end, she achieved a complete leap across class, and lived a life that her mother had never dreamed of. However, Qi Chengxin's daughter Su Yuanyi inherited her grandmother's talent and her mother's machinations, but was more paranoid and greedy than both. She was not satisfied with the height given by her mother and longed to stand on the top of the pyramid. To this end, she did not hesitate to destroy her humanity and pointed the blade at the mother who had trained her to become a talent. The ultimate power showdown between mother and daughter begins. Lies, calculations, and betrayals are layered upon each other. When greed devours family ties and ambition overwhelms human nature, Qi Chengxin fights back in a desperate situation, finally ending her daughter's madness with her own hands, and thoroughly seeing the truth behind human nature behind class crossing. The so-called peak is never the illusion of plunder, but the sobriety of holding the bottom line.
Purpose: Based on the intertwined destinies of three generations of women, and using the "Anna"-style game of power as a carrier, it sharply satirizes the stereotypes and deformed perceptions in modern society that "women can only achieve class crossing by relying on emotions and men." Through the grandmother who was a physics genius in the 1980s and became an NPD personality, the mother who broke the shackles of class with her own reason and power, and the daughter who was extremely greedy but was eventually swallowed up, the "imbalance of reason and desire" and the "game between talent and humanity" of women in the class transition are explored, praising women's sobriety of realizing value by relying on their own abilities, revealing the alienation of human nature by extreme ambition, and ultimately conveying the core idea of "real class crossing is never about dependence and plunder, but about self-control and bottom line persistence"
