Synopsis[]
The story follows the life of a young man by the name Fan Xian (范闲), who was given a second chance to be reborn into a new world with the memory of his previous life.
"积善之家，必有余庆，留余庆，留余庆，忽遇恩人；幸娘亲，幸娘亲，积得阴功。
劝人生，济困扶穷……而谁可知，人生于世，上承余庆，终究却是要自己做出道路抉择，正是所谓岔枝发：
东风携云雨，幼藤吐新芽。急催如颦鼓，洗尽茸与华。且待朝阳至，绿遍庭中架。更盼黄叶时，采得数枚瓜。"[1]
See AlsoJoy of Life 2 - DramaWiki"A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants. Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…
Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor…Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?
Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom. Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost. A green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning. Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested."[2]
