In the 1980s, after Chen Yu's grandfather dies, his elder uncle seizes the family property and throws him out of the house. His fiancée, Su Wan, also publicly breaks off their engagement. In his moment of desperation, Chen Yu unexpectedly activates his ancestral compass, which can pinpoint rare medicinal herbs. He digs up a century-old wild ginseng plant and earns his first fortune. From then on, he joins hands with Su He, who remains loyal to him through thick and thin, to build a business. Together, they repeatedly foil the schemes of his elder uncle and Boss Zhao, turn a barren mountain into a medicinal herb plantation, and lead the entire village to prosperity. In the end, Boss Zhao is sent to prison, his elder uncle loses his entire fortune, and Su Wan kneels to beg Chen Yu to take her back, but he firmly rejects her.
