The City's Twisted Path

Lu Qi once had a bright future ahead of him, but a carefully orchestrated trap destroyed his career, left him branded with infamy, and turned everyone against him. His former friends wanted nothing to do with him, and the woman he had loved for years chose to walk away. Having fallen to rock bottom, he struggled to survive in a dim rented room. He planned to lie low, but unexpectedly crossed paths with the cool and perceptive Shen Yanshu.

She moved in the world of capital, saw through its hypocrisy and schemes, and was likewise trapped by the cage of family interests. Two people covered in wounds unexpectedly crossed paths, testing and mistrusting each other. Lu Qi starts over from the mud, untangles the plot against him, and takes back what is rightfully his one step at a time. Business rivalries, the warmth and coldness of human nature, and relentless attacks from old enemies unfold alongside a tangled love-hate relationship. He wants not only to clear his name, but also to protect the woman who dares to stand against convention. Against the tide of a bustling city, he finds sincerity in the depths of despair.
