Picking up his old craft again, Lin Shaochun becomes an overnight sensation, earning tens of millions a year. After a wedding company owner withholds his performance fees, he meets a benefactor and partners with them to establish a media company. His down-and-out son and family regret their actions, the villains suffer the consequences of their own deeds, and Lin Shaochun is recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage performer. He passes on the art of monkey opera, reconciles with his son, and brings his story to a happy ending.
