Poor scholar Jiang Zixu is humiliated and blocked by a servant outside a gathering of the powerful and wealthy.

Although grudgingly allowed in by Tang Jinshu, he is reprimanded by Lord Dong during the feast for trying to curry favor with the powerful. Faced with Tang Jinshu's indifference and the scorn of the crowd, Jiang Zixu secretly harbors a desperate ambition for power. He then undergoes a transformation, presenting a gift to Lord Qi as an aide to Prince Pingyang's mansion and requesting to be taken as a disciple, thus commencing his climb to power.
