Li Ji, nicknamed Gou'er, was abandoned by his father to his grandmother when he was a child, and grew up in a poor tile-roofed house. He is poor at studies and has a tough temper. He will hit anyone who laughs at his poverty. After being expelled from high school, he went to work in the city, serving dishes and working as a waiter. He lost his job because of his bravery and was treated as a human punchbag at the entrance of the casino. Everyone said that dogs would be like this for the rest of their lives.
Until he met Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao is a graduate student. She wears a silk skirt, carries a small square bag, and has neatly manicured nails. She is the most "high-class" person Li Ji has ever seen in his life, but she is extremely soft-hearted. The first time they met, she held an umbrella for Li Ji who was being beaten on a rainy night. The umbrella was too small and half of her shoulders got wet.
Li Ji spent eight years. From the bottom of the casino to taking over an entire city's business. He laundered all his property and became the youngest "exception" in the upper class. He built the best house in the village for his grandmother and a home for Zhong Yao. Then he handed the company over to Fang Yue and took Zhong Yao to Switzerland. They gave birth to two children, one named Li Nian and the other named Li An.
This is the story of a man who grew out of the mud and turned his fate upside down with his strong bones and an unbroken heart.
