Lu Jinyan, also known as Shen Zhi, had his relatives buried in a foreign country because of his trust in charlatans in his previous life. After being reborn and returning to a poor family, when he saved his first pot of gold, he found himself standing in the middle of a scam - people all over the city spread the rumor that he, Lu Jinyan, was a "living god" who could ask gods for rice and turn stones into gold. It turns out that this is a trap set up by Zhou Shijie, the famous "Mabao Magic Stick" in the county, to make him a scapegoat and take the blame for pretending to be a ghost. As a humble gentleman, Lu Jinyan never curses others. He only smiles, breaks the truth into pieces, and feeds it word by word into the other person's mouth. When facing Zhou Shijie's mother and son, he neither used the knife nor got angry. Instead, he followed the other party's "prodigy" persona and performed a shocking ritual for them. When everyone was waiting to see him exposed, he used a set of iron-handed methods of "deceiving with deception" to send Zhou Shijie and his son to the gate of the prison. From then on, Lu Jinyan understood a truth: In this world, a gentleman does not bully others, but he cannot be bullied by others either. He wants to use the way of deception to do the things of a gentleman; he uses the rules of the world to break the scams in the world. From the county town to the capital, from the temple to the rivers and lakes, whoever wants to rely on one mouth to prey on the common people should first ask Mr. Lu about this mouth. But just when he thought he had run out of options, a man in black who called himself an "old friend" sent a letter with only two words on it: "Give it back to me." And there was something new in his mother's relic box that he had never seen before.
