Features: Private fund operator Xu Zhongyuan fails in stock trading, incurring massive losses. To escape pursuit, he hides in a mountain villa in the northern part of Beijing. The arrival of a burlesque dancer, Zhu Mei, draws him into a group hunt between gang factions in nightclubs. Before this is resolved, a massive conspiracy looms over Xu Zhongyuan. At a critical moment, Zhu Mei, to save Xu Zhongyuan and obtain his millions in deposits, poses as a lawyer and delves deep into a detention center. Under multiple pursuits, Xu Zhongyuan and Zhu Mei flee for their lives, and their feelings gradually change. The final outcome, however, leaves Xu Zhongyuan utterly shocked. This book reflects the significant fluctuation in social values during the transition period, the redefinition of social morality, and the interactive relationship between social values, moral concepts, and the law during this transformation.
