Zheng Yulan, a laid-off female worker, faces a tragic turn of events when her husband, Cheng Qiushi, drowns while swimming with manager Du Mark during a sudden storm at the seaside. After rescuing Du Mark and two young women, he unfortunately loses his life. Cheng Qiushi's father is critically ill and hospitalized, urgently needing medical expenses. In her financial distress, Zheng Yulan reluctantly asks Du Mark for a loan of five thousand yuan. Meanwhile, Yulan's sister-in-law, Lu Wenli, attempts to leverage Cheng Qiushi's heroic act to negotiate the early release of her own husband from prison with Du Mark’s father, the provincial prison bureau director. Du Mark's mother is very grateful to the Cheng family, but when Yulan borrows money and Lu Wenli proposes conditions for repayment, she misinterprets the situation. To eliminate future "extortion" from the Cheng family, she conspires with her husband's subordinate, Qin Hanjiao, to turn the narrative against Cheng Qiushi, painting Du Mark as a heroic savior and Cheng Qiushi as an unfortunate drowning victim. Upon hearing this, Yulan is left in shock. Cheng Qiushi's sister, Cheng Nuo, a journalist, along with her sister-in-law, is determined to clear the name of their deceased relative and seek justice. The beautiful lies lead to immense benefits for Du Mark, making his business flourish, and even attracting the attention of a large foreign company looking to make him their agent. Qin Hanjiao takes advantage of Lu Wenli's desperation to have her husband released from prison by coercing her into writing a detrimental testimony against Yulan, and he seizes the opportunity to exploit her. Cheng Nuo's relentless investigation alters many people's perspectives, revealing cracks in the iron curtain of deception. This frightens Qin Hanjiao, who no longer wishes to conceal the lie.
