Features: A prisoner who plots his own imprisonment to evade disaster, only to repent after being abandoned by friends and family. This is both a soulful confession in times of great change and a profound song of human justice! Accomplished CEO Song Yikun, to avoid disaster and preserve strength, even orchestrates his own imprisonment, setting the stage for his divorce. The passionate and bright female reporter Xia Yingjie, visiting a prison at a friend's request, falls instantly in love with Song Yikun, becoming utterly captivated and even threatening her own life to win his submission.
The poet Fang Ziyun, who once said, "Entering the Buddhist path without purifying the six roots, venturing into the business world with insatiable greed," sets out to make a fortune in the business world. His dream of "saving poetry through a winding path" fails, only to involve him in an 8 million yuan fraud case. Although he bears no legal responsibility, the collapse of his beliefs, the cruelty of reality, and the bloodshed of business warfare leave his kind, romantic, and innocent heart unbearable. He is shocked, confused, realizing that life is not as beautiful and poetic as he had imagined. The intense clash drives him to the brink, and he eventually walks down a path with no return.
Forced to "run away" with Xia Yingjie, Song Yikun arrives in the picturesque Zhuhai, enjoying a romantic love, becoming gentle and obedient, and devotedly assisting her in literary pursuits,. Will he really gamble his survival on a woman? Does he truly intend to rely on uncertain literary success to turn around his dire situation? Is he content to live in seclusion from now on? A large, bold, cross-border conspiracy is gradually taking shape. Xia Yingjie's debut novel, "The Silent Man," is sold for 800,000 yuan by the CEO of the Iron Eagle Group: Fang Ziyun's "Metal Flavoring Ball" becomes the hope for farmers' poverty alleviation, but his partner absconds with 8 million yuan in stolen money, leading to continuous violent incidents among the deceived farmers, while the perpetrator disappears without a trace; the acquisition project of Xinzhou Chemical Factory is in intense negotiations, and a vast, complex conspiracy is about to form.
Fang Ziyun's death serves as a wake-up call, shocking Xia Yingjie, who realizes that the mastermind behind this meticulous fraud can only be her beloved—Song Yikun. Faced with sin and justice, love and betrayal, Xia Yingjie's bleeding conscience forces her, and only her, to make a choice. She betrays Song Yikun to regain her humanity and dignity. However, her youth and kindness entangle her righteous betrayal in a larger, more dangerous international gangster network, pushing Song Yikun to the crossroads of downfall or redemption.
The price of survival is to surrender the soul. From then on, Song Yikun carries a cross he can never escape. He walks a path of betrayal against himself, plunging himself into a suffering purgatory, forced to pay a heavy, bloody price.
Flowers still cover the ground. "We have everything, we have nothing." What is human value? This is the thought the book leaves its audience with.
