Cui Niu, a top expert, unexpectedly reincarnates in the 1980s as the village's despised weakling. Given a second chance at life, he resolves to live honestly and protect his wife, Su Chunrou, and her family. When troublesome relatives and villagers come to his door to bully and torment them, Cui Niu no longer tolerates their behavior and punishes the villains. Relying on his exceptional hunting skills, he ventures into the mountains to make a living and, by a twist of fate, tames a ferocious tiger that becomes his companion. With medicinal herbs and bear gallbladders from the deep mountains, Cui Niu secures a partnership with the Ye family and discovers a path to prosperity. He develops local industries and leads the entire village toward greater income and freedom from poverty.
