At forty-two, Li Shuisheng had spent more than twenty years working tirelessly after dropping out of high school to care for his parents and put his two younger brothers through school. When the family received 800,000 yuan in demolition compensation, he got nothing and was given only a dilapidated old house. Unexpectedly, hidden compartments in the house contained silver coins, gold, and antiques worth five million yuan, left behind by his ancestors. This newfound wealth gave him the chance to treat his lame leg, while exposing the favoritism and scheming within his family. After leaving his birth family behind, Li Shuisheng used his twenty years of craftsmanship to establish a renovation team and rekindled his relationship with Wang Xiuqin, a former high school classmate who had likewise sacrificed her youth for her younger brother. In the end, he gained a home, a successful career, and a marriage, while learning to draw clear boundaries between honoring his parents and living for himself.
