The deputy director of the sub-district office accidentally traveled through time and became the son-in-law of a poor family in ancient times. When he married into the Lin family, his family was completely destitute. He was despised by his father-in-law Lin Ruhai, and was coldly treated by his wife Lin Dai, the "eldest son". He was also embarrassed by the government servants who forced him to pay debts. But he was not willing to sink. He first used tricks to punish the slaves to establish his authority, and then withstood the pressure and determined to take the imperial examination. Even though his father-in-law obstructed him in every possible way, he still won the county and government examinations with his strength and won the title of scholar.
After being elected in high school, his identity changed qualitatively, but it also aroused the murderous intention of his father-in-law. He used the fish scale album to uncover evidence of his father-in-law's crime of corruption and helped him to be brought to justice. He also joined forces with Lin Dai to put down the clan's power grab. Although he was in danger of deceiving the emperor because of Lin Dai's secret of dressing up as a man, he resolved the crisis by donating his property to build a nursery, making clever arguments in court, and even won a Jinshi to enter his official career.
From then on, he worked step by step in the court, resolving party disputes and settling state affairs, and eventually became the chief minister of the cabinet. Faced with the criticism that "the son-in-law is despicable", he resigned from office to ridicule the pedantic courtiers, and won the support of the emperor. He completely broke the shackles of his family background and completed his legendary transformation from a son-in-law from a poor family to the chief minister of the country.
