In the summer of 1996, classmates Yuan Haodong (played by Liu Ye), Guo Yanggang (played by Sha Yi), and Zhao Jiale (played by Li Guangjie) who had graduated from college for three years were each experiencing different lives. Finally, the three returned to Beijing with their dreams and got together to start a business together. However, the three inexperienced people soon hit a wall. The frustrated Haodong wanted to break up with his college girlfriend Lin Ziyun (played by Zhao Ziqi). In the summer of 1998, with the help of Zhao's father, Zhao Zhenting (played by Fan Zhiqi), the three of them revived and took over the magazine. However, the materialistic social status quo caused the three people to have grudges and conflicts. A bidding war caused Zhao's father, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, to die of a heart attack. Jiale believes that Haodong is not only an informer but also a murderer, and Lin Ziyun also leaves him. Jiale, filled with hatred in his heart, decided to start a face-to-face contest with Haodong. In order to retaliate against Haodong, Jia Le ruined the innocent Yanggang family. Jiale surrendered, and Haodong finally let go of everything. In the early winter of 2007, in the courtyard where the three of them had lived, Haodong, who had gray hair on his temples, finally revealed to Jia Le, who had been released early, that I was the betrayer.
