One day, he shares a peculiar dream with his wife, setting off a chain of events that introduces a colorful cast of characters and a blend of humor and social commentary. The opening of the novel presents 賈守拙's ordinary life and his humorous interactions, particularly with his wife and a local scholar, 稽老古.
