I am Shen Qingci, the forgotten ancestor of the Shen family. When I woke up from a three-hundred-year sleep, I found that the Shen family had long been in decline. Their descendants were manipulated by evil relatives and their family property was devoured. At a critical moment, I awakened the "merit system" to gain merit by doing good deeds, exchange elixirs, learn exercises, and draw magic weapons!
In order to protect my children and grandchildren, I pretended to be a distant cousin and battled wits with the second brother-in-law who coveted the Shen family's property. However, I was accidentally tied up with Lu Jingyuan, a young minister from Dali Temple who came to investigate the case.
But as my merits accumulated, I discovered that there was a big secret behind the Shen family's downfall. The "accident" three hundred years ago was actually man-made, and the people I trusted also had hidden agendas. After my dream was shattered, I relied on the system to have many adventures. I shared secrets with Lu Jingyuan and gave each other tokens. I vowed to overturn this man-eating back house and find out all the mysteries!
