Set against the backdrop of the development of China's securities industry after the 1990s, this drama depicts the significant insider story of a securities company in the Central Plains region colluding with certain leaders in the government to manipulate the stock market and acquire vast amounts of ill-gotten wealth, revealing the intrinsic relationship between irregular operations in the securities market and corruption. Fanglue Securities Company is a well-known local securities institution in the financial sector, and its general manager, Tang Jinzhao, is an ambitious investor, known for his integrity and expertise. However, he makes a fatal mistake; unbeknownst to him, his wife, Su Ke, has taken over a company registered by Liang Kuang, the son of Secretary Liang Weny. The funds of this company were secretly misappropriated state assets by Liang Kuang. The company’s salesman, Wang Lie, gradually learns this secret from a car accident involving his friend, Shao Kang. Out of emotional considerations, he agrees that Tang Jinzhao will return the misappropriated asset to the state. At the same time, Mayor Zhao Changhui also learns about this secret. Mayor Zhao uses this matter to blackmail Tang Jinzhao into filling the financial gap from his misappropriation of funds, achieving his hidden agenda. Liang secretary's daughter, Liang Hong, admires Tang Jinzhao's character and unwittingly gets entangled in the conspiracy as well. Ultimately, Liang Hong, troubled by her feelings, becomes a casualty of the scheme. Tang Jinzhao, having been ensnared, has no choice but to err further. He colludes with Mayor Zhao to devise a plan to manipulate the stock market. Wang Lie and Tang Jinzhao’s daughter, Tang Xiao, once again notice clues, deeply investigating and gathering sufficient evidence. As floods are imminent, the newly constructed flood control dam along the Wuling River has been completed. At this moment, Mayor Zhao’s group announces false information to the outside world regarding the safety risks of the dam's construction quality. This statement causes a dramatic drop in the stock prices of a listed company downstream of the Wuling River, which Tang Jinzhao takes advantage of to accumulate a large amount of stock. Within a week, Fanglue Company nets over 300 million. Many retail investors suffer heavy losses. Following the painful loss of his beloved wife and capable assistant, Tang Jinzhao finally awakens, returns all the embezzled money, and walks into the doors of the prosecutor's office.
