Chen Ling's career progresses smoothly due to his relationship with his boss. After spending time alone with his boss, he accidentally meets his text lover and starts a complicated relationship with them. His good friend Ding Wen creates a business plan for Chen Ling, tricks him, and causes him to suffer losses. Ding Wen also betrays him, leading to cracks in his relationship with his wife. Chen Ling pours his emotions into his lover, only to discover that the lover is frightening—seemingly innocent but quite cunning.
