Overview

As the puppet heir of the Fu family, sculptor A Che, disguised as a docile man, maneuvered between his "control freak" brother Fu Wen Shu and the venture capital queen Su Man Yue. Fu Wen Shu was adopted by the Fu family at a young age and became A Che's "x-bag", controlling the Fu family with a twisted emotional connection of abuse and protection. A Che took advantage of Su Man Yue's investigation into the unusual movement of Fu's stock to make his move, using a sense of brokenness to stimulate her desire to conquer. But he got into a car accident and lost his memory. In the confusion of memories, he regained his childhood bond with Fu Wen Shu.
