The Fourth Brother had squandered his wealth through gambling, leaving their mother in a critical state. To make matters worse, the creditors even asked them to sell Manbao to settle the debts!
In the village, whispers spread that the golden days of the Zhou Family's cherished Manbao were over. Their elderly mother clung to Manbao's hand, tears streaming down her face.
However, Manbao tightly grasped a system in her hand, a tool that would lead her and her brothers and sisters-in-law to reclaim their fortunes. They ventured into agriculture, cultivating land, growing medicinal herbs, and establishing shops, steadily improving their lives. 
As their situation improved, concerns shifted to Manbao's marital prospects by the sister-in-laws.
"Mr. Zhuang's grandson is an excellent match – educated and well-spoken. He is just perfect for you."
"No! You should consider Mr. Qian's youngest son, who is handsome and well-mannered. You can count on him never to defy you."
Suppressing a smile, Manbao responded, "My heart is already set. I choose Bai Shanbao, my childhood friend whom I've playfully scolded since we were young."

Seeing that he did not take it, Bai Shan rose and placed the jade pendant in his palm, smiling lightly as he said, "The reason Five gave me this token was precisely so that I might pass it on to Second Prince. Among those who have surrendered to our Great Jin, there are many, and quite a number were once princes and marquises. Without speaking of those far away, General Ashina, General Heli of the Qibi—these men were once figures of great renown. After submitting to Great Jin, they remain men of great renown, and their achievements surpass their former ones; in fame, in power, in wealth, all is only greater and more abundant. Why should Second Prince cling so stubbornly to a mere empty title?"
