In 1988, Zhao Hongbing suffers an accident and nearly loses his life. Thanks to the help of his family's ancestral jade pendant, he miraculously survives and makes his way home, only to find his loved ones being bullied. Furious, he stands up against the cruel members of the Zhao clan living in the old family home. Using the spiritual spring space hidden within the jade pendant, he gathers medicinal herbs and raises fish, struggling to repay the family's debts and reclaim their property through a family separation. Determined to protect his wife and daughter, as well as his honest and kind-hearted elder brother's family, he gathers evidence and exposes the schemes of troublemakers at the factory. He then puts down roots in the countryside and starts an aquaculture business. Despite pressure from competitors and harassment from his relatives, he remains committed to honesty, gradually opening up supply channels in the county town and building a prosperous, stable life through hard work amid the changing times.
