The story of two-way redemption between businesswoman Lin Ling and down-and-out scholar Xie Chang.
On a cold night in late winter, Lin Ling rescued Xie Chang, who was dying, in the back alley of a corner grocery store. She supported him in a desperate situation with half a piece of dry food and a shabby room. She is a shrewd businesswoman who works hard in the market. To help him go to Beijing to take the exam, she secretly pawns the hosta left by her mother; he is a poor scholar who hides his edge and shows his sharpness in the daily necessities of life. He cleans up the shop for her and fends off the villains, with the ambition of "protecting the common people" hidden in his eyes.
After three years of waiting, he became the top student in high school. However, when she was forced into court by the powerful and her life was hanging by a thread, he overturned the table as the new chief assistant: "Who dares to touch my wife?"
She pawned her dowry for him back then, but now he returns her the phoenix crown and harem; in the past, they were dependent on each other in the dim light of the snowy night, but now they protect the mountains and rivers together in the court and the streets. From daily necessities, rice, oil and salt to the confrontation of power, let's see how the shrewd businesswoman and the white-cheeked scholar succeed each other in the wind and rain, rekindling the original intention of Jinxiu in the world.
