Road to Success is a Hong Kong series set during the 1960s economic boom, following Kei, a village boy determined to escape poverty and build wealth. His closest friend Lin, heir to a prosperous family, becomes instrumental in Kei's rise to success. Their bond fractures when both men fall for May, a woman they meet in Macau. While Lin harbors deep affection for her, May is drawn to Kei's charm and integrity. The love triangle complicates their ambitions as friendship turns to rivalry.
