Reborn in the winter of 1982, Chen Jianye is forced by his stepmother to sign a family separation agreement and driven out with nothing but a broken wooden basin. Just when he is on the brink of despair, he unexpectedly awakens a mystical spiritual spring space. Using its powers, he attracts a century-old softshell turtle and sells it for a fortune, then discovers an extraordinarily valuable spiral pearl in deep waters. From earning his first fortune by selling the turtle to upgrading his humble beginnings to a luxurious motorboat, he builds roads with his donations and constructs a grand Western-style mansion. His golden thread carp brings him astonishing wealth. When his former family keeps harassing him and local thugs threaten him, Chen Jianye outsmarts them all with intelligence and determination. Eventually, he prepares an extravagant bride price to marry the woman he loves, Lin Shuiyin, and leads the entire village on the road to prosperity, making the most of his second chance at life.
