A modern soul travels back to the famine-stricken 1960s, inhabiting the body of Shu Tianci. His parents have starved to death, leaving behind a group of young brothers and sisters. At the brink of despair, he awakens the power of a Qilin jade pendant containing a portable space with a spiritual spring and fertile black soil, where he can grow crops and raise livestock. Using this extraordinary advantage, he hunts for food and supplies, protects his younger siblings, stands up to troublesome neighbors, seizes the opportunities of the era, and works hard to build a career and secure a job assignment. Determined to improve his family's living conditions, he leads them through the famine and toward a brighter future.
