In 1990, Chen Yuanshan, a young man struggling with poverty, picks up a mysterious black cat and unexpectedly gains extraordinary powers of perception, allowing him to find rare treasures hidden throughout the mountains. Together with his disabled but strong-willed father, he starts by selling matsutake mushrooms. Along the way, he meets the businesswoman Shen Yunjin and relies on his genuine skills to discover one treasure after another, including human-shaped and horse-shaped lingzhi mushrooms, golden-shelled softshell turtles, and century-old ginseng. He rises from poverty to become a ten-thousand-yuan household and leads his fellow villagers to prosperity.
