share time: 2026-01-07 12:34:48

Su Wan, a scapegoat doormat at an advertising company, stumbles into the world of Gu Chengye, a down-and-out pub owner, while drunk one night, accidentally helping him fend off debt collectors. Little does she know, Gu is the retired “Night Lord” of the investment world, secretly investigating the embezzlement of his family’s assets and his brother’s death. To “repay the favor”, Gu becomes Su’s workplace wingman, helping her expose colleagues’ frame-ups and rise to a top planner; Su, in turn, helps him comfort his sick grandmother and gather evidence. Their mutual redemption is filled with sweet moments, but when Gu closes in on the truth, he discovers the mastermind is linked to Su’s father, who has been missing for years—a choice between love and lies quietly unfolds in the trembling night.
