Features: Lever? Loophole? Trick or Root of Trouble? At an invisible height, there is an eye that sees clearly. Ding Li's novels vividly depict the bizarre and fantastical floating scroll of contemporary urban society. What's precious is that he always maintains an equal and deep humanistic concern for the diverse business figures in his works—Writer Mo Yan is appealing, entertaining, and dramatic! Ding Li's portrayal of the myriad characters in his stories is the reality we encounter every day.

Only someone who has been in business can portray entrepreneurs so accurately, including their inner world, business behavior, and profit models. Opening Ding Li's novel, the atmosphere of the market and life wafts in. The protagonists are also ordinary people around us—smart yet foolish, great yet ordinary, with both noble virtues and severe flaws. In my reading experience, he is a writer who truly captures the essence of the business world.
—Tian Jie, Chairman of Beijing Laojia Roubing Fast Food Chain
Zhang Jinlong and his brother-in-law Lin Wenxuan were dismissed from the factory and moved from the interior to Shenzhen. They quickly lost all their savings. Desperate, they accepted the suggestion of college student Zhao Feiyue to work and buy stocks, and they became rich. Lin opened a restaurant, while Zhao continued trading stocks. Zhang Jinlong was determined to start a business and finally acquired a factory. However, due to not having a Shenzhen household registration, his company had to be registered under someone else's name. When his company was on the verge of being taken over, Deng Xueli stepped in and saved the day. Grateful, Zhang Jinlong and Deng's relationship also heated up. To divorce his wife in the interior, Zhang went to great lengths to gain the support of Lin Wenxuan and his wife. However, Deng did not marry him and instead grew colder, eventually revealing her sinister motives for seizing shares. Enraged, Zhang beat Deng and was sent to prison. Just as he feared his business would fall into her hands, a twist of fate occurred—the heavens intervened, and a dramatic and tragic comedy of fate unfolded.
