In 1928, Shanghai was in troubled times, and there were many plots on rainy nights.
Lu Zhi, cold, decisive and resourceful, took over Yongning Trading Company as a creditor, secretly weaving a web and working step by step. She never trusts anyone but her own calculations.
Su Wanning, a weak and scholarly daughter, became a pawn in a well-designed marriage conspiracy. She ran away on a rainy night and crashed into Lu Zhi's world.
From utilization to protection, from temptation to attachment, Lu Zhi went through many twists and turns in business wars, intelligence wars, and multiple games between warlords and concession forces. He used ingenious plans to counterattack powerful enemies time and time again, and his power gradually increased.
Su Wanning, however, became her only weakness - those trembling but tenacious hands quietly smoothed the edges of her body.
In troubled times, conspiracies arise one after another. She takes charge of the shadows just to protect her peace for the rest of her life.
"Wan Ning, if I want to take responsibility for anyone in this world, it will never be you."
