The Master's Gambit: Chen Hao and Zhang Mei

When your boss falls, you fall with him—but what if the fall was orchestrated all along? Career climber Qiao Liang has it all: success, status, a beautiful wife. Then everything crumbles in a single day. His mentor is disgraced. His wife betrays him. And as the pieces scatter, Qiao Liang sees the truth: he's been a pawn in someone else's game from the very start. Now he must learn to play on a level beyond tasks, beyond patterns—he must master the art of setting the board itself.
