Synopsis
Can we live on our own terms, free from the world's judgment? Wang Changhai (Bai Jingting), a man of extraordinary ability, returns to his hometown to take up a position at the grassroots level. Blunt and uncompromising from the start, he defies the advice of his seasoned colleague Lao Xia (Wei Xiang), disregards the delicate web of personal connections, and confronts corruption and injustice without flinching. Yet every step forward seems to land him in deeper trouble. As he slowly comes to grasp the unwritten rules that govern the society around him, he begins to file down his rough edges, learning to maneuver and compromise within the complex game of social etiquette. When idealism clashes with reality, and raw talent meets the weight of convention, what path will this once-unyielding man ultimately choose in this wry, down-to-earth comedy of manners? 我们可不可以抛开世俗的眼光而活？一身本领的王长海（白敬亭 饰）回乡履职，初来乍到便锋芒毕露，他不顾老夏（魏翔 饰）劝阻，不惧人情牵绊，直面乱象与不公，却处处碰壁。慢慢看懂世俗规则，他收起棱角，学着在人情世故中周旋妥协。当理想撞上现实，当锋芒遇上世故，拥有一身能力的他，在这场幽默诙谐的现实戏里，最终会做出怎样的选择？
