Modern young man Zhao Ce accidentally traveled through time and became a poor scholar in the Ming Dynasty, dependent on his lame wife Su Cai'er with different pupils. He earned his first pot of gold with his sugar-making technology, and wittily resolved the bullying of the villagers and the sinking crisis. After entering the county seat, he exposed the scam and opened a sugar shop. Although he was framed, he successfully proved his innocence. In order to realize his ambition, he took his wife to the state capital. While seeking medical treatment for his wife, he studied and prepared for the exam. He finally won the first place in the state examination and crushed his opponent's conspiracy. After becoming famous, he returned home with his recovered wife in fine clothes and achieved a counterattack from a poor family.
