Lin Mu, an orphan who grew up on the streets, is accepted into his dream school, but he is murdered right in front of the school gates. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a game world, where he can have a chance of returning to life in the real world by completing all of the in-game missions. Unfortunately, he finds that his base attributes are worse than other players. Everyone's abilities and resources are graded using playing cards, and he is sadly the lowest ranking "Two of Spades." While the other players are using their smartphones to receive instructions and resources, his "dumb" phone is utterly useless, and he is forced to rely on paper print-outs of clues to play the game. To make matters worse, his good looks bring him nothing but trouble, with many other players eager to make him their plaything...
However, Lin Mu is well-versed in surviving in a dog-eat-dog world, and doesn't give an inch when others try to take advantage of him. Not long after entering the game world, he teaches a lesson to those who tried to humiliate him using his unyielding pride and extraordinary courage. Unfortunately, this also scares away potential allies.
For some reason, Lee Jen, a legend among the players who is said to have completed all the missions and broken the game, is always following Lin Mu around. To bring down this game that is trying to manipulate him, Lin Mu endures Lee Jen's teasing and pranks to gather more information. Later, he discovers that there is more to the mystery waiting to be unraveled than the inner workings of the game, there is also their shared lost memories...
