Shen Yanshu, a scholar from a poor family, entered the court from Jiangnan County and became a high official in the court. However, he was thrown into prison due to party disputes and scapegoating. When everyone thought he was about to die, his son-in-law Lu Chengli, who he thought was "not serious enough", ran around and took advantage of the situation to make meritorious deeds and rescued him from a dead end. After seeing the faces of the officialdom, Shen Yanshu returned to his hometown with his family and abandoned his official position to start a business. He finally understood that the most difficult thing in the world is not to have an official career, but to live a stable life as a family.
