During the Jiaqing period, two families on the same street in Baoding Prefecture - Jin Mancang, a wealthy businessman who ran a silk and satin shop, and Yin Shouzhuo, a poor scholar who made a living by pasting calligraphy and paintings, each had a son on the same day. It happened that the Chenghuang Temple was flooded and the whole city was in panic. When the two families took shelter temporarily, the two infants were placed side by side in front of the Guanyin statue. When the fire was extinguished and everyone dispersed, the flustered wet nurse carried the wrong baby.
In the past fifteen years, the Jin family's business has suffered repeated setbacks. A fire burned down the silk and satin shop. Jin Mancang died in depression, and his family was in decline. The Yin family member who was mistakenly brought to the Jin family - named Jinbao - grew up with difficulty under the support of his widowed mother and developed a tough and open-minded character. However, he had a strange obsession with calligraphy and painting. He often squatted on the street corner and traced with tree branches.
However, things were changing for the Yin family. A painting that Yin Shouzhuo happened to appreciate by a nobleman actually led to the business of mounting and papering, and gradually became a famous calligraphy and painting shop, "Mo Yuan Zhai", and the family wealth was growing day by day. The Jin family bloodline who was mistakenly brought to the Yin family - named Yin Yu - grew up in the fragrance of books and ink, and became proficient in abacus. He started helping the business at the age of fourteen. He knew the texture of silk and satin and the market of dyes without any teacher, but he had a headache when he mentioned pen and ink.
An inquiry related to blood, identity and fifteen years of misaligned life begins. During this period, there are frequent jokes and misunderstandings. Finally, under the clever setup of a retired master Xing Ming who returned to his hometown, the truth is revealed. After going through twists and turns, the two families decided to continue their relationship. The gold, silver, and jade not only enjoyed the blessing of birth, but also repaid the love of upbringing. This became a good story in Baoding Prefecture.
