The Baseline of Shencheng

Beneath Shencheng's neon lights, Lu Yexun has kept a low profile for three years. Burdened by the old case of his company's bankruptcy and his elder brother's wrongful accusation, he hides away as a surveyor on a construction site at the bottom of society. Everyone thinks he has long since fallen apart. Only Su Yaozhen, a disputes partner at a top law firm, discovers the calculating mind concealed beneath his rough work clothes after a humiliating accident.

She holds key evidence that could overturn the case, but she is also a pawn the opposing family is eager to recruit. On one side is the enemy closing in at every turn; on the other, a growing attraction that blurs the lines. No foolish domineering CEO, no golden finger from out of nowhere. Using business strategies he remembers and meticulous deduction, Lu Yexun gradually tears open the conspiracy behind the case. Through suspicion, testing, and standing side by side, the two struggle for the upper hand, determined to hold on to their principles in this city driven by self-interest.
