Plot

Tao Wujie, a small-town graduate, begins his career as a teller at a Shanghai bank and gradually rises under the mentorship of veteran financiers Zhao Hui and Miao Che. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Tian Xiaohui enters the cutthroat world of trust capital, where survival demands ambition and sacrifice. As both are tested by temptation, competition, and shifting values, two generations of financial workers confront career choices that will reshape their futures—and their understanding of success in a city driven by money.
