Lin Jiuyuan came from a scholarly family but had a troubled life and was forced to become the son-in-law of the wealthy Su family. From being ridiculed to becoming the family's think tank, Lin Jiuyuan relied on humor and wisdom to resolve crises one by one. Dealing with family intrigues, fetters of family ties, trials of love, and disputes in the world, he gradually wins respect with his wit and persistence, and finally reverses his fate, protects his loved ones, and realizes himself. The story is divided into three volumes: the son-in-law first enters the Su family and survives through twists and turns; the son-in-law emerges and becomes involved in family disputes and turmoil with foreign enemies; the son-in-law becomes successful, protects the family and reaches a new peak in life. The whole book is humorous and compact, with ups and downs of the plot.
