Mujin lives in Qichao Qing Shui town, in Muji Village. When he was three, his mother could not bear his father's occasional scolding and left with a wandering shop boy.
The father remarried and had a new son, making him even less affectionate towards Mujin, his eldest son who made him look foolish.
Life at home became increasingly difficult; Mujin admired his stepfather, who was an actor and believed life was a stage. Villagers regarded the stepfather as good, treating Mujin no worse than a biological son.
Mujin grew to 18, the age to marry.
To protect the family's reputation, the stepfather did not choose a cripple or blind man; he selected an honest, filial husband.
Mujin thought after years he would finally be treated well, and he saw the man: stern, broad‑chested, and satisfying.
But upon becoming his son, Mujin discovered the man was the family's old ox, laboring without complaint yet receiving no thanks.
Mujin was angry, but many years in the village taught him to accept and match him tenfold in green‑tea charm, while the man still had merits. He wondered how to transform this loyal, submissive husband.
He would not let himself wash, cook, or serve the whole family.
He tried to divide the household but could not escape his mother’s constant meddling; Zhou Lin continued to take on endless chores.
With the family split, the villagers looked down on Mujin’s husband and treated him like an ox. He used tea art to win his heart.

From careful plans, true hearts, and endurance, Mujin and his husband work together, making their days brighter.
Completed, the story follows two husbands building wealth, avenging a father, and becoming villagers’ wealth, a wholesome tale.
