Nancheng Undercurrent

Twenty-two-year-old Chen Ye had the most inconspicuous job as a spectator at a club in Nancheng. He originally just wanted to save enough money to treat his mother's illness, so that his sister could successfully finish college, and then leave this breathless old city. A sudden conflict pushed him into the most complicated undercurrent in Nancheng. From clubs and logistics parks to old city renovation projects, from street favors to profit chess games, Chen Ye gradually discovered that what really determines the fate of this city is never just the superficial rules. Some people regard him as a disposable chess piece, some want to use him to test the situation, and some people tell him for the first time that it is useless to make concessions if he wants to gain a foothold in this city. Between interests, choices, trust and costs, an ordinary young man who originally just wanted to live a stable life was forced to learn how to do things in the wind and waves, and step by step he entered the deepest part of Nancheng. This is a story about growth, choice and the rules of human relationships. It is also a story about an ordinary person being pushed forward by the times and reality, and finally entering into the game and seeing the situation clearly.
