The reborn young man Xu Erlong returns to the 1980s and vows to reverse the fate of being exploited by his family in his previous life. Faced with his partial and hypocritical father, his mean and domineering grandmother, and his scheming cousin, he resolutely refused to become a victim of the family, and separated with his mother and sister to become independent. Relying on his foresight of the times, he caught eels, sold tea, repaired trucks, and developed his livelihood step by step, and decisively ended arranged marriages. Xu Erlong fought against injustice with a decisive attitude, and began to write his own counterattack life in the small town in the early stages of reform.
