In 1983, Cheng Xiangdong, a vagrant of Shiyan Village, is reborn right when he faces accountability from the Jiang family for harming Jiang Yulan. He openly vows to gather a high bride price and wedding banquet within seven days, facing ridicule from the whole village. Relying on memories of his past life, Cheng Xiangdong ventures into Eagle Beak Cliff, captures various rare medicinal scorpions to earn his first pot of gold, and fulfills the engagement. After marriage, he cooperates with Jiang Yulan, who understands medicinal properties, studies scorpion breeding, and connects with a pharmaceutical factory to secure orders. Facing the malicious sabotage of Ma Sanhu, he abides by the rules, protects resources, refuses to drain the pond to catch fish, and leads the villagers to common prosperity, making a comeback to become the king of medicinal materials in the eighties.
