Gu Zhao, the illegitimate son of a wealthy family, was regarded as a "bastard" by the Gu family since he was a child. After his mother died, he was kicked out of the house and lived in a shabby rental house in the old city by delivering food. Once, he rescued Lin Wanzhao, a female urban administrator who was besieged by gangsters, and activated the "merit system" - doing good deeds earns merit points, which can be exchanged for physical strengthening, medical skills, treasure appraisal and other abilities. He started by helping his neighbors find cats and rescuing seriously ill elderly people, and gradually accumulated merits, slapped his cousin who laughed at him in the face, exposed the family conspiracy, and at the same time, he and Lin Wanzhao went from misunderstanding to falling in love. As his merit level increases, he discovers the truth behind his mother's death and the ancient grudges of the Gu family. Finally, he uses the power of his merit to become the helmsman of the Gu family, establishes a business empire and a charity foundation, and achieves a counterattack from a loser to a winner in life.
