In his previous life, Lin Ziyang severed ties with his parents and abandoned his younger sister to marry Chen Shanshan, giving the Chen family his job at the machinery factory and all his savings accumulated over the years. Only on his deathbed did he learn that Chen Shanshan had long been having an affair with Zhou Yubei. Dying with hatred and regret, he returns to 1970 with a spiritual spring space. Given a second chance, Lin Ziyang decisively tears up the job transfer agreement outside the machinery factory, slaps Chen Shanshan awake to her own schemes, and transfers the job quota at a low price to Xue Fang, who genuinely cares for him. He then takes his special space to the countryside and returns to the parents and younger sister he once abandoned. In Hu Jiawan, he uses the spiritual spring in his space and memories of his previous life to rise from an ostracized educated youth to become the leader of the fishing team.
