Traveling through the troubled times of Kangxi, with frequent droughts and floods, and starvation and death everywhere, Zhao Ji took over the messy life. The original owner was alcoholic and cowardly, and his family was ruined. His two sons died in battle, leaving behind two docile and sensible daughters-in-law who were bullied. Facing the eyeing evil neighbors, mean folks and selfish relatives, Zhao Ji, who was dying, awakened to the golden finger of the mall. He changed his old cowardly appearance, protected his wife and children, hoarded food and grass, built a warm house, slapped in the face all those who bullied his family, and propped up his dilapidated family.
