In 1982, Chen An returns to a small mountain village. In his previous life, he trusted the wrong people, causing his wife to die after giving birth prematurely and leaving his family shattered. Having finally come to his senses in this life, he relies on his skills in mountain foraging, gathering medicinal herbs, hunting, and preparing braised meat. Starting with a bowl of braised pork and a wild ginseng plant, he gradually changes his fate alongside his wife, Su Xiuying. He stands up to wicked neighbors, protects the villagers, and leases barren mountains. Braving snowstorms deep in the mountains, he carves out a path to prosperity. This is the story of a man who protects his family with his own hands and leads his small village toward a new life.
