Lou Yunchun's father was an alcoholic, and his mother ran away when he was twelve years old.
After suffering alone in dire straits for three years, Lou Yunchun couldn't bear it any more, so he found someone to sell him to the Zhong family, a wealthy businessman in the east of the city, and became a servant of the Zhong family, signing a death contract.
On the first day after entering the house, Lou Yunchun saw the mistress of the house. He was surprised and happy, and blurted out: "Mother!"
But his mother didn't recognize him anymore and asked someone to beat him with a stick. He was filled with grief, fear, and pain. He fell seriously ill, burned out his throat, and became mute.
He was speechless and offended his mistress again. The servants blamed him for any mistakes they made.
The kitchen is short of food? Lou Yunchun eats.
The glass lamp is broken? Lou Yunchun smashed it.
Miss's jewelry is gone? Lou Yunchun stole it.
Lou Yunchun lived a fearful life, and his behavior became more and more unsightly. In the end, he did not even dare to look at others, and lived like a rat in the gutter.
Master Zhong is old, and his mother is a successor. Below him is the young master Zhong Yue, who has just lost his crown. He is the son of the previous mistress.
He was the only person in the house who believed in Lou Yunchun. When Lou Yunchun couldn't speak, he taught him to read and write.
Lou Yunchun was so moved that he wrote down all his heartache and suffering over the years on paper, but for some reason the master saw the paper and his mother was kicked out.
Lou Yunchun hurriedly went to ask for help from the eldest young master.
The eldest young master said that he could take him to Beijing with him to take the exam, and after passing the exam, he would be able to take his mother back when he became an official.
Lou Yunchun had no choice but to repay him with his own body.
After the imperial examination, Zhong Yue was selected as the top student in high school, favored by the emperor and the princess, and stayed in the palace. However, Lou Yunchun was not even qualified to take the examination due to a serious illness, so his trip was in vain.
On the day of the Qionglin banquet specially set for new scholars, Lou Yunchun wanted to sneak in and ask Zhong Yue to take his mother back. He was shot to death by a cold arrow from nowhere when he was halfway through the dog hole.
At the same time, because his mother was seriously ill and in a daze, she slipped and drowned in the lotus pond. The grandson of Prince Rong, who has the same name as Lou Yunchun, opened his eyes amidst the grand joy and sorrow.
