share time: 2025-10-25 00:32:22

Lin Wan, a top planner at an advertising company, is betrayed by her three-year boyfriend Lu Ming and best friend Su Xiao—they steal her core project, frame her for leaking secrets, and get her fired, pushing her to the brink of bankruptcy. In despair, she overhears their darker plot: they want to seize her late parents’ house. Determined to fight back, Lin Wan discovers that Gu Jingshen, a client who always seemed cold to her, already has evidence of Lu and Su’s crimes. Is Gu’s appearance a coincidence or a scheme? While the “mantis” (Lu and Su) plots against the “cicada” (Lin Wan), the “oriole” (Gu Jingshen) behind has long targeted the greedy pair… And as Lin Wan fights back, she gradually uncovers that Gu’s gentleness hides a past related to her?
