In 1985, Lu Shanhe is reborn on the very day he is supposed to fetch his bride. In his previous life, he drained his parents' hard-earned savings for the Su family and spent his entire life being their sucker, constantly bailing out his younger brother-in-law. Only as he lay dying did he discover that his wife had betrayed him and that his son was not his biological child. In this life, he calls off the wedding in front of everyone, takes back the betrothal gifts, and protects his parents and younger sister. He sells eels, improves farming tools, and stands up to his unreasonable relatives. From a poor rural young man whom everyone looked down on, he gradually leads his whole family to prosperity. Those who despised the poor, bullied the weak, and treated his family like a bottomless source of money are finally exposed for who they really are by his own hand. This time, he will no longer tolerate mistreatment. He is determined to carve out a better life for his family and turn their bitter days into happy ones.
