A modern white-collar worker accidentally travels back in time and becomes Lin Mo, a gambling-addicted, wife-beating villager in a remote mountain village in the 1990s. Facing his long-suffering, deeply guarded wife, Su Wan, he resolves to turn over a new leaf and atone for his past sins. He takes on local bullies and creditors, ventures into the mountains to gather wild produce, and launches a pickled-vegetable business. Along the way, he faces repeated crises, including blocked supplies, an arson attack on his workshop, and his wife's abduction. Joining forces with the villagers, he overcomes these hardships, repays his debts, and heals alongside Su Wan, ultimately achieving mutual redemption.
