In the world of drama where cheating narratives often pit the wife against the mistress in dramatic confrontations, Alliance offers a refreshing and empowering twist. 

Lin Shuang represents the many women who despite being overachievers in academics, opt to sacrifice their career aspirations for the sake of their families. Her married life goes awry after she finds out that her husband Wei Ming is cheating on her. Instead of getting into a messy catfight with the mistress Jiang Xi, she teams up with her to get back at the unfaithful man.
