Eighteen-year-old rural teenager Chen An, in order to repay debts and save his mother, breaks into Jinjiang, staying at the home of the mysterious woman Zhang Zenan, and becomes a waiter at the top-tier club Dinghong Supreme. Stubborn and unyielding, he insists on earning money through physical labor, refusing the massive compensation from wealthy matron Su Wan, yet because of this gets entangled in her marriage deadlock with real estate tycoon Zhang Minghua. Zhang Minghua publicly beats him up, and repeatedly sends people to blockade and retaliate, driving him to a desperate situation. Unemployment, being framed, late-night manhunt—the successive blows fail to crush Chen An, but instead, under Zhang Zenan's guidance, he learns to read situations and adapt in handling matters, gradually growing sharp edges from a reckless youth.
