In 1985, Lin Zhengjun finally awakens after years of blindly obeying his adoptive parents, shaken by a nightmare that foretells a tragic future. He stands up to the family that has exploited him for years and heads into the mountains to make a living, relying on hunting skills and precognitive abilities acquired in his dream. Starting with wild rabbits, he quickly escapes poverty and forms a partnership with mountain-produce merchant Zhao Jingfeng. As his family repeatedly schemes against him and a famine threatens the village, he protects his wife and daughter and leads the villagers in saving themselves. Eventually, he establishes a food company, while his wife builds a career through embroidery and his daughter escapes her premature death. Together, the family of three rewrites the tragedy of their previous life and finds lasting happiness.
