A working man, Zhang Shikang, accidentally time-travels to the Duke's mansion in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, becoming a good-for-nothing noble scion in everyone's eyes. Originally just wanting to live a stable and peaceful life, he gradually perceives that both his family and the era are facing severe tests. To protect his loved ones and change his destiny, he decides to strive with vigor from then on, leading a group of like-minded noble partners to form the 'Second Son Group' to urge their fathers to donate silver, offer advice and suggestions, and help people's livelihoods. From capital gossip to imperial court attention, from a playboy youth to a troubled times rising star, with his own wisdom and actions, in the volatile late Great Ming, he fights out a glimmer of survival for himself, his family, and all the common people under heaven.
