Main plot:
The climax of the story begins at the beginning. The male protagonist Gu Chen has been in his wife Liu's family for three years. Because he does not work in production and only likes to play with some "turbid wine" that no one cares about, he is extremely despised by his wife Liu Ruyan and his mother-in-law's family who are obsessed with clinging to the powerful. Finally, he is kicked out by Yi Zhi and Li Shu. On the day of the separation, Gu Chen's three-year agreement with his deceased master, the "Wine Sage", expired. He completed his mental training and no longer hid his astonishing wine-making skills.
Gu Chen relied on his superb wine-making skills to brew "Three Days Drunk", "One-line Throat", "Beauty's Tears" and other peerless wines, quickly establishing a presence in the capital. At first, the Liu family and his ex-wife Leo Raven dismissed this, thinking he was just sensationalizing. But soon, Gu Chen's wine attracted the favor of wealthy businessmen, and then the princes and nobles. In the end, it even alarmed the emperor of the dynasty, and he was awarded the plaque of "The No. 1 Bacchus in the World". Gu Chen's social status and wealth increased exponentially.
At the same time, the "high branch" Liu Ruyan climbed to - Mr. Zhang, the new rich man in the capital, was actually a weakling who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His family business had been steadily retreating under Gu Chen's business impact, and his reputation was ultimately ruined. Liu Ruyan fell from heaven to hell, and when she looked back, she realized that what she had abandoned with her own hands was actually a real dragon that soared through the nine heavens. She and everyone in the Liu family were extremely remorseful and came to her door many times to beg for reconciliation, but they were all coldly rejected by Gu Chen. The core point of the book is that each of Gu Chen's great career successes was in sharp contrast to the expectations of his ex-wife Liu Ruyan, and caused a strong psychological impact and ruthless slap in the face. In the end, Gu Chen achieved both career and love, and became a legend of his generation.
