Sixteen years ago, a fire at Lanzhou Wharf cut off the lifeline of Su's construction industry. Su Ye's father fell into the river and died that night. After losing her father at the age of five, she was brought into the home of her stepfather He Shouye by her mother. She was kicked out at the age of fourteen. From then on, she grew up alone in the darkness of the city - singing in bars, on the back of motorcycles, and on the market intelligence network, which were all her bargaining chips.
She thought fate was nothing more than this. Until the man named Wang Jiangshan walked into the bookstore left by his father carrying an old account book from fifteen years ago, and only said: Your father's death was not an accident.
Su Ye's hyperamnesia gave her a photographic memory and allowed her to clearly remember everyone who had hurt her. From a wall of yellowed newspaper clippings to a secret war between the three parties, from burning paper in the old dock to mergers and acquisitions in the new financial city, she stepped on the knife of the He family, the fire of Jiangdong, and the gray line of the system all the way up. What she wants is not just revenge - she wants to sit on the other side of the chessboard and see clearly who is holding the piece of chess that her father left behind.
A rebellious girl who had everything taken away meets an uncle who has been carrying a secret for fifteen years. Fighting from the mud to the top of the city, he finally discovered that the chess game his father left behind was more ambitious than anyone else's.
When you walk against the light, you realize that what is hidden behind the light are all shadows.
