In his hotel room, an aged man sat surrounded by years of records on the prominent Sun family - his obsession. Specifically, Sun Weijie, the callous man who had abandoned his pregnant mother decades ago to instead marry into affluence.
The old man, Sun Weijie's illegitimate son, gazed bitterly at images of the billionaire tycoon who flourished by trampling foes and innocents alike in his ruthless ascent, his mother among the invisible casualties. He touched the locket with her photograph, the gentle woman the world repeatedly battered yet failed to harden.
Meanwhile, Sun Weijie enjoyed the riches and acclaim of his polished public image - the very picture of success. While the old man and his mother struggled in obscurity, barely scraping by until he had enough to take care of her.
