Li Jianguo raised his son Li Qiang alone, selling his only property to buy a wedding apartment and taking on the mortgage and household expenses. Before her delivery, daughter-in-law Lin Xiaoya, disgusted by his elderly scent, drove Li Jianguo out of the home. A heart-broken Li Jianguo woke up to reality, stopped all subsidies, and resolved to live for himself. While wandering the streets, he saved Zhou Yu'an, who was being beaten by thugs, and was appreciated by his mother, Shengshi Group Chairperson Zhou Shiyun, securing a job with food, lodging, and a monthly salary of twenty thousand. Li Qiang, losing his support, saw family conflicts erupt; with overdue mortgages and enduring nagging from his wife and mother-in-law, he finally tasted the bitter fruit of losing his backing.
