The scene opens: Yuncheng, the Lin family villa, the 70th birthday party of Mrs. Lin, the head of the family. The scene was luxurious and there were so many guests.
The protagonist appears: The protagonist Lin Feng (tentative name), as the Lin family's son-in-law, wears an old shirt that has been washed white, and works silently in the corner, which is incompatible with the surrounding glamorous environment. He got married three years ago and has since become the laughingstock of the family, labeled as a "waste" and a "wimp".
Conflict breaks out: Lin Feng's wife Lin Wanru (tentative name) is the project manager of the family company. In order to celebrate her grandma's birthday, she carefully prepared a valuable jade Buddha. However, cousin Lin Yan and her husband Zhao Feng (the main villain) presented an ancient painting by a famous artist, and publicly mocked Lin Wanru's Jade Buddha as a "cheap product". They even suggested that it was Lin Wanru, a loser, who was dragging Lin Wanru down so that she could not afford good things.
Climax humiliation: In order to defend his wife, Lin Feng stepped forward to argue, but was pushed down by Zhao Feng, knocking over the wine glass, and the wine splashed on Mrs. Lin's favorite cheongsam. The old lady was furious and ordered Lin Feng to kneel down and apologize on the spot. In order not to make it difficult for his wife, Lin Feng knelt down in humiliation amidst everyone's ridicule.
Foreshadowing: In the dead of night, Lin Feng was alone on the balcony, stroking an inconspicuous and simple tattoo (or a rusty ring) on his wrist. His eyes were no longer as cowardly as during the day, but as deep as the sea of stars. He thought silently in his mind: "The three-year seal period is about to expire, and the dragon soul is about to awaken."
