The protagonist Xu Erlong encounters extreme favoritism and betrayal from his family. He sells his house for his sick father only to see his family property taken away by his cousin. Finally, after learning about the family scandal before his father's death, he is unexpectedly reborn and returns to 1982. Xu Erlong suddenly woke up. Faced with the old way of forcing his cousin (actually his father's illegitimate son) to go to college and forcing him to work in a sweatshop, Xu Erlong resolutely chose to resist and separate the family. After leaving home with his similarly aggrieved mother and sister, he used his knowledge of the future and grasp of rural resources to accumulate original capital step by step, starting from reselling eels and soft-shell turtles.
