Jiang Yanzhi, an orphan in central Guizhou, is destined to pass on Jiang Ziya's Taoism to the Jiang family, but he has been enveloped in the shadow of his original family since he was born. His biological father, Jiang Shouyi, is an alcoholic and competitive Chinese medicine doctor with masculinity ingrained in his bones. After divorcing his wife due to family difficulties, he wanted to sell his young son. However, due to the global economic downturn, no one took over, so he had to be sent to his biological mother. The biological mother has a new love, and an unclear breakup caused her ex to transfer his hatred. He kidnapped Jiang Yanzhi and used him as a tool to vent his anger for twelve years. The days of fighting and fighting turned him into a silent beast with a twisted personality. In order to fill the hole in his heart, he accidentally joined a gang and almost went to jail; his middle-aged biological father came belatedly to find his relatives, which brought him a brief moment of warmth, but in the end it was no match for his obsession with "inheriting the Taoism and becoming a monk". The warmth faded away, leaving only scolding and arrangements; after his biological mother remarried, she refused to recognize him, completely pushing him into the abyss of wandering.
At an age when he should have been high-spirited, Jiang Yanzhi became a wanderer. He slept on park benches and ate scraps from garbage cans. Fortunately, he was taken in by a noodle shop owner. From serving dishes and washing dishes to cooking, he found a chance to survive. Later, he went to a barber shop and learned from a shampooer to a barber, and his fingertips developed thick calluses. In order to make a living, he also worked as a bar salesman, witnessing the hustle and bustle of nightclubs; he also worked as an anchor in a media company, and lived in poverty, relying solely on the apprentices of the popular TV group "Misty Rain Jiangnan" to boost his performance. When he was desperate, he even used his friends' trumpets to give gifts to support the scene. He saved money and traveled to Hangzhou in Guangdong and Xuyi in Qizhou. He saw the prosperity but felt that the world was empty and even a sound sleep was a luxury.
