In the 1990s, mountain gatherer Zhou Yao was exploited year-round by his nuclear family. The savings he painstakingly gathered to marry his girlfriend Lin Xiaoxue were taken by his parents to be used as a bride price for his younger brother. Heartbroken and treated with utter coldness, Zhou Yao angrily flipped the table to sever family ties, accidentally unlocking the Mountain Gathering System. Relying on system intelligence, he found wild ginseng, royal jelly, and other rare treasures on Daqi Mountain, rapidly accumulating wealth. He joined forces with partners to open a breeding farm and a medicinal herb plantation, protecting his beloved and leading the villagers to common prosperity. Meanwhile, his family, who schemed against him at every turn, remained unrepentant, with his younger brother falling deep into a muskrat scam, resulting in a ruined family and lost lives. In the end, Zhou Yao achieved great success in his career and grandly married Lin Xiaoxue.
