In 2003, master chef Li Shuang returned to his hometown for his family. At the request of his wife, Zhang Ru, he partnered with his debt-ridden brother-in-law, Zhang Lei, to cater rural banquets, agreeing on a sweat-equity split of 50-50 at year-end. With his culinary talent, Li Shuang kept the business thriving, handling 70 to 80 feasts and generating hundreds of thousands in revenue. However, Zhang Lei conspired with his wife, Wang Qinqin, to falsify the books, claiming the business ran at a loss. They even claimed Li Shuang owed 200 yuan and kicked him out penniless. Ultimately, relying on his skills and integrity, Li Shuang staged an incredible comeback, while Zhang Ru broke free from her toxic family to find true happiness.
