The orphan Xu Sheng has lived with his uncle's family since childhood, suffering year-round oppression and bullying from his uncle Xu Da's family. With an impoverished family background, he is still unable to marry a wife at nearly thirty years old. He goes to the City God Temple to devoutly pray for a romantic match. After saving an injured white fox on his way down the mountain, a destitute woman named Bai Qingyue arrives at his home on a rainy night. Being homeless, she takes the initiative to propose living together with Xu Sheng. Thinking the City God has shown his divine spirit, Xu Sheng accepts Bai Qingyue. His cousin Xu Yaozu covets Bai Qingyue's beauty, provoking her in every possible way and forcing Xu Sheng to divide the family property. When dividing the family property, his uncle's family acts shamelessly, allocating only a barren plot of wasteland to Xu Sheng, wanting to leave him and Bai Qingyue with nowhere to stand.
