His mother is critically ill and urgently needs life-saving surgery. Chen Fan, a humble street vendor, hopes to earn enough money through his family's traditional braising recipe and honest craftsmanship to save her life. He only wants to make an honest living and get by peacefully. But powerful capital interests crush him mercilessly. Zhao Tianyu, a privileged young master, abuses his influence to bully him. His connections are mobilized against Chen Fan, his sales channels are cut off, and violent blockades escalate, leaving him with no way to make a living. Commercial districts refuse to rent him space, businesses cut off supplies, permits are deliberately held up, and the entire city joins the crackdown. A single ban leaves him unable to take a step in South City, pushing him to the brink of despair. Everyone says that an ant cannot challenge the powerful and that someone from the bottom can never rise again. But Chen Fan has an unyielding spirit and refuses to bow! You ban me from the prosperous commercial districts? Then I'll put down roots in the old streets where ordinary people live.
