Liu Gongzheng (played by Duan Yihong): A national industrialist who created a miracle called "Big World" in Old Shanghai. However, he ultimately could not overcome fate. After a fleeting dream of prosperity, he faced the disintegration of his family and lost everything, left with nothing but emptiness, facing a lover Han Rubing with whom he had intertwined love and hate for a lifetime. The relationship between Liu Gongzheng and Han Rubing is marked by both love and hate, closeness and distance, filled with mutual appreciation and rejection, misunderstanding and understanding, years of grievances intertwining choices of parting ways and reconciling. Gu Yecheng (played by Wu Xiubo): He navigates the underworld and the world of law with ease, both ruthless and loyal, corrupt yet principled, successfully transforming from an inconspicuous small gangster to a renowned Shanghai tycoon, thriving in the rentier system over several decades. Tong Guangfu (played by Zhao Zheng): Heavily influenced by Western financial thought, Tong Guangfu started with a small bank and later became a well-known financier and a high-ranking official in the National Government (the Crab Government). Han Rubing (played by Zuo Xiaoqing): A schoolmate of Liu Gongzheng, Gu Yecheng, and Tong Guangfu during their youth, a woman of both heroism and complexity, yet with a peculiar temperament. Due to her family's decline, she was sold into a brothel by her stepmother, while Liu Gongzheng secretly loved Rubing in his youth but never confessed, with Tong Guangfu and Gu Yecheng once helping to introduce her. Rubing catches the eye of the retired palace eunuch Ming Gonggong, who wants to take her as his wife and requires her to continue his lineage as a ransom. In order to save Liu Gongzheng, Rubing agrees to Ming Gonggong's demands, resulting in the birth of a son and a daughter, but they never marry.
