In the Chu Dynasty, Lin Fu, the most unpopular son of the Lu family in Jiangning Prefecture, lost his mother when he was young and struggled to survive under the pressure of his legitimate wife. By accidentally activating the "merit record" system, each time you resolve a family crisis and protect the peace of your family, you can accumulate merits, which can be exchanged for practical skills such as the essence of the Four Books, the secret book of arithmetic, and the identification of jade and treasures. Starting from taking over the family affairs for the sick and weak head, Lin Fu used "guarding the family, protecting the clan, and promoting the clan" as his blade, and successively solved the dilemmas of property seizure by the legitimate wife, forced marriage by the maternal family, embezzlement of land, and tampering with genealogy. He gradually took control of the family's lifeline through establishing prestige in the ancestral hall, reforming the clan school, and rebuilding the righteous village. Finally, he led the Lu family from a small local clan to the rank of county leader, completing the counterattack legend of "the concubine is in charge of the family, and the clan is prosperous." The most exciting moments focus on the brilliant moments of outsmarting the eldest brother, defeating the strong with the weak, and accurately breaking the situation in a family crisis.
