The plot mainly tells the story of the protagonist Xiao Bao, in order to complete the mission, through multiple layouts, and carry out high-IQ games and contests with all parties. A series of common scams run through the main line, such as liquor trusts, sales of counterfeit drugs and other scams, real grounded, strong sense of substitution, full of interesting ornamentation, but also has a profound warning educational significance.
It is very worthy of everyone's attention that the drama is a side story of "Mao Deception", about eleven years ago, a "Mao Deception" came out, which caused a sensation on the Network that was not yet developed at that time, and it even became an indelible memory of the generation of young people at that time, although the production of this "web drama originator" is still rough, the performance is also slightly jerky, but it does not hinder the enthusiasm of many audiences to find resources and sleep and forget to eat.
The first season of "Mao Deception" ended with 8.6 points, which is also a high score in domestic dramas, but the audience base it laid and the high popularity are the biggest gains. Subsequently, the main creators launched the second season and the finale in a row, and won the championship of the Douban score with 9.4 points and 9.7 points respectively.

The biggest attraction of the show is that the seemingly bland content of the opening few episodes has buried the foreshadowing in the inadvertent details, and when these small foreshadowings are finally unveiled and connected one by one, it brings unexpected spiritual shock to the audience! Continuing the style of previous seasons, the plot is always reversed, and the logic is tightly sewn, which is the most rare performance in domestic suspense dramas.
