Meng Xiaoye

Beneath our human facades, we all have our own anxieties. Some are busy living, while others are busy dying.

At twenty-eight, Meng Xiaoye is on the verge of becoming the youngest partner in the history of the biggest investment bank on Financial Street.

But an exchange of favors between a mysterious woman fresh out of prison and a ruthless internet tycoon draws her into the eye of the storm.

With her boss bearing down on her, an unequal romance, and hostile takeovers launched one after another by underworld power players, how will she make her way through the darkness and decide what to do...

Theme: The so-called hero's journey isn't about a sapling struggling to grow into a big tree bursting with positivity. It's about a tree putting down roots in the dark earth while still reaching for the bright sky. We all feel afraid, we all feel fragile, and we all want to give up sometimes. But what matters isn't what's in our hearts; what matters is what we do. Our choices are what truly define us.
