Introduction

Legislator and second-generation politician Weng Wen-fang is serving as a spokesperson in the publications department of the Justice Party's presidential candidate. Wen-fang spends every day frantically trying to think up topics that can increase support for her candidate and dampen the opposing camp's attacks. When a sexual harassment scandal unexpectedly breaks out within her party, Wen-fang finds that she is at odds with the party's habit of sweeping embarrassing problems under the carpet. Unhappy with political practice, she decides to set off on her own path. Having spent a good number of years in the political world, veteran staffer Chen Jia-jing has long neglected his wife and kids due to his work duties; his wife is now requesting a separation, which poses a major dilemma for him. As the campaign enters its climax, Chen gradually begins to make his own living arrangements. Zhang Ya-jing—a newcomer to the publications department—is shrewd, quick-witted, and highly resourceful. On several occasions when Weng Wen-fang reached an impasse in her battles with the rival camp, Zhang helps Weng to draft strategies that suit the circumstances. The two women bond due to their shared traumatic experiences in the past, and become inseparable partners. However, Weng does not know about Ya-jing's mysterious comings and goings, which ignite a bombshell in the tense campaign. In her apparently harmonious household, influencer Zhao Rong gradually discovers that her father, who is a vice presidential candidate, was involved in a sex scandal, and gets unexpectedly swept up in the stormy pre-election situation. In the face of challenges to their beliefs and values, can these individuals successfully ride the tempestuous waves?
