Zhu Yan is the Zhu family's eldest legitimate son, yet his stepmother manages to take over the household.
After losing his right to inherit, he decides to return to the countryside. But they still refuse to leave him alone. His grandmother is driven to her death by them, and he is forced to take out a loan just to buy back her general store.
He ends up a million yuan in debt to loan sharks.
Fortunately, a “fool” comes into his shop.
Not only does this fool spend lavishly, he is also intensely interested in history.
Zhu Yan hits it off with him, teaching him how to restore the Ming dynasty. Through his repeated dealings with this old customer, Zhu Yan builds a business empire of his own.
Years later, his old customer takes his hand, points outside, and asks, “Prime Minister, was this what the Ming dynasty was supposed to be like?”
Zhu Yan is stunned. I was just saying it offhandedly. You actually went and did it?
A stupid start!
