Li Duidui is an "atypical ancient" who transmigrated from an era of strict etiquette. He has two great loves in life: sunbathing and arguing with people. With a handsome face so sharp it looks like he's cursing someone, he gets conned by his unscrupulous agent into joining a slow-paced countryside variety show where everyone else takes life easy.
While the other guests enjoy their peaceful lives in front of the cameras, reciting poetry and composing couplets, he stares thoughtfully at an automatic-flush toilet. "This thing... can actually swallow things on its own? What kind of sorcery is this?"
When the show airs, the whole internet explodes:
"While everyone else is picking chrysanthemums by the eastern hedge, he calls the production crew's boxed lunches pig feed!"
"While everyone else is playing music and talking about love, he repairs a century-old house with his knowledge of mortise-and-tenon joinery, then rips into modern workmanship for cutting corners!"
Viewers go from calling him "uncivilized" to begging him to "insult people more," because everything he says is right, and it's freaking hilarious! Watch as he uses a tongue steeped in a thousand years of "philosophy (venom)" and a wealth of "hopelessly outdated" talents to carve out a quirky, hilarious path through the modern city, while healing everyone's mental exhaustion along the way. His method? Draw all the fire onto himself and go all out making a spectacle!
