Zhao Shuo, a concubine-born son, is pushed to the edge of destiny, receiving only a patch of barren wasteland and unexpectedly welcoming three wives burdened with past cases and huge debts. Everyone is waiting to watch him fail utterly, but starting from a jar of wine, a bamboo grove, and a mine, he gradually turns the neglected Banzhu Garden into a place to settle down and make a living. When commercial routes, military power, and the winds and clouds of the world press down one after another, this once-despised concubine-born son has no choice but to make choices that change his destiny time and again. Yet when the tiny territory gets dragged into a larger chess game, what he truly wants to guard—is it wealth and family, or his own world?
