Overnight, Lin Mo, a marginal employee in the marketing department, was promoted to the chief financial officer (CFO) of Tianhong Group. He even became "flash engaged" to the iceberg female president Su Wan, becoming the most enviable and criticized high-ranking climber in Jiangcheng. However, under this gorgeous crown at the top are ruthless shackles - Su Wan chose Lin Mo not because of his talent, but because he urgently needed a "perfect shield" that could attract firepower at the center of the group's financial crisis.
Just as their luxurious wedding invitations swept through the city's celebrities like a white storm, a more deadly web quietly tightened. Financial reporter Lin Yue - who was also Lin Mo's bitter first love who was abandoned because of poverty in college - dropped a bombshell, exclusively exposing Tianhong Group's financial fraud of hundreds of billions, and its precise attack was directed at the vitality of the group.
At a top-notch dinner party where the city's dignitaries gathered, deadly "bombs" detonated in succession: the scandal was exposed, and the investigation team broke in like thunder! The team leader took off his sunglasses and it was Lin Yue! A cold and bone-chilling "Ex-boyfriend, let's get to know each other again?" Nailed Lin Mo to the pillar of shame. What followed was an even crueler turn of events: the alarm went off that the code for the group's core medical AI "Xin Tong" had been stolen, and the source of the tracking on Lin Mo's phone pointed to Su Wan's office! Before the shock subsided, Su Wan suddenly fell to the ground, suspected of being poisoned, in full view of everyone.
Lin Mo tried to clear his reputation and led the investigation team to go straight to Su Wan's office, the core of the group headquarters, to search for surveillance evidence. What awaits them is the secret room murder scene where secretary Wang Jing died tragically in a pool of blood! All unfavorable clues, including the strange tracking signal, the death of Wang Jing who had just tried to deliver the message, and Lin Mo's "eager" motivation to return to the scene, twisted like poisonous ivy, firmly making him the only suspect.
The cold engagement invitation was the burial gift she had chosen for him. The fatal bloody suspicion is the death spiral laid out for him by the real hunter. How can Lin Mo, this chess piece that has been ruthlessly manipulated, struggle to survive in this deadly vortex of capital, power, love and hatred?
